Serving a Wife Sentence

Spring 2009 Wedding Guide

Organizing a wedding is like constructing a beautiful sentence. Identify the subject, object, and verb, and everything else will fall into place.

Subject to Change
You set the tone for your wedding. Swing by Calla Bridal for frocks by Matthew Christopher and Vineyard. Punctuate the look with a hat or belt in silk, tulle, feathers, and lace from Portland’s Twigs & Honey or top it off with a cage veil by Alice Hart.

Object of Your Affections
Schedule a Royal Shave for the groom at Oslo’s to ensure a smooth first kiss. Let him show a little leg in a number from North Channel Kilts in Ballard. Then seal your love with custom ecogold wedding bands from Itali Lambertini.

Attributive Clause
Capitalize on your best attributes with the help of makeup and hair artist Erin Skipley of Bellatrix Studio, whose natural styling and airbrush technique will leave one adjective on everyone’s lips: beautiful.

A Verbal Remedy
Now get thee wed. With its fruit trees, communal tables, chicken coop, and fireplace, The Corson Building is an idyllic location for a family gathering. Sanctuary at Admiral, a renovated brick church in West Seattle, also makes a stately venue.

Adverb It Up
Poppies Floral Boutique creates textured arrangements that colorfully stand out against every backdrop, while GH Kim Photography will artfully capture the magical moments of the day.
