The wedding was held at Semiahmoo Resort, and the décor reflected the waterfront location with a contemporary and classic style spiced with nautical touches. The color palette was black, white, and champagne with just a touch of blush pink. The flowers, an important touch to the day, included beautiful hydrangeas, peonies, and white anemone flowers. Ashley’s bouquet tied all of the flowers together, and a gorgeous flower wall at the reception topped it off.   

   The bridesmaids wore black floor length tulle dresses in sillouettes of their choice, with sparkly gold shoes. The groomsmen wore classic black shawl collar tuxedos. The dress, from Marcella’s La Boutique in Seattle, was a Vera Wang classic Ghillian. It had beautifully gathered tulle with a sweetheart neckline and asymmetrical waist detail. Ashley wore a simple black sash around her waist tied in a bow in the back.

   At the reception, the dance floor was packed the whole night. As the guests danced the night away they enjoyed delicious food catered by Semiahmoo Resort. To start there was framboise and brie salad and the entrée was orange horseradish crusted Chilean sea bass. “We consider ourselves very blessed,” Ashley said. “Everyone had waited a long time for us to be married and the wait was definitely worth it.”
