I have a good one for you guys!
When I first met with Lindsay for breakfast I knew this would be a super fun wedding! She had so many fun details planned, and they personalized their wedding so perfectly!
I first met Mike at their apartment when we had our girl's craft night making the programs, finishing the escort suckers, etc. They are so adorable together and you can just feel the love!

Lindsay and Mike Jandl

The venue was DeLille Cellars, located in the wine country of Woodinville, Washington. What a gorgeous venue. "A traditional "chai" styled winery on the family farm owned by the Lill family. This beautiful ten-acre site sits above the Woodinville valley floor, overlooking the wineries of Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia Winery."
Lindsay and Mike are die-hard Seattle Seahawks fans (hence the jersey and the garter). In fact they were going to a Seahawks game the next day right before they left for their honeymoon. That's loyalty!
The guests sat across the pond from the mini peninsula where the ceremony took place. Lindsay had a photo of her with her mom propped up on her walk to the peninsula, where her and her father stopped to light candles in remembrance of her mother. When they arrived to the peninsula for the ceremony Lindsay's cousins read the "love letters" that the couple wrote back and forth while dating from long distance. It was so personal and cute!
The Officiant/Pianist was Lindsay's old high school principal.
After the vows ended the wedding party danced along the way back to the winery while the guests showered them with leaves.
All of the cute details were made and crafted by Lindsay and her friends. Their theme was "music throughout the years" so they had each table named after a favorite group from the Beatles to Lady Gaga to Queen to Usher to Prince. Each guest got a c.d. with a song from each artist, and to release the guests to eat they played the artist from each table one by one, such a cute idea! She also incorporated fancy parasols from Bella Umbrellas by hanging them inside the tent to add pops of color, as well as use in bridal party photos.
Lindsay and her family and friends helped dig out the apples to use as candle holders for the tables. The escort "cards" were caramel apple lollipops tied with black and white ribbon, which was also used on the bouquets and other decor details.
For the grand entrance Lindsay and Mike had together picked out individual songs for their bridesmaids and groomsmen that had special meaning or funny reasons. The wedding party didn't know the songs until they played them and they danced to their song all the way to the head table, and the guests were clapping and loving it! for Lindsay and Mike's entrance they played "Danger Zone" and they came in with fun moves and their shades.
Lindsay's dad put together their photobooth area with a life size print of the bride and groom that the guests could take photos of. Everyone had so much fun posing with the newlyweds and dressing up, they even used the props during the dancing portion later in the night.
Instead of having a traditional cake the couple had Molly Moon's ice cream truck stop by. Everyone LOVED this and the line was long all night. The most popular flavors were salted caramel, and lavender ice cream (yes that's correct!).
The fab DJ Adam had them play "the shoe game" where the couple sat and answered questions using their shoes, this had the guests laughing so hard and was so cute!
The bride had a wardrobe change into her reception dress and put on her dancing shoes: Converse, for their choreographed dance.
This couple is so adorable and loved by so many people it was truly touching. The guests danced and partied the night away and had a blast! Then rode back to the hotel in safety on one of the 3 charter buses.
I know I will remain friends with Lindsay, so blessed to be a part of their special day!
