Katie & Tushar held their wedding on May 29th at our waterfront venue, Ballard Bay Club. Although the weather turned out to be slightly overcast, the bride and groom still captured some breathtaking moments in front of Puget Sound. Their ceremony was held in the Bay Club's South room. With plenty of natural light pouring in through the waterfront windows, the guests were moved by the couple's sweet vows.

A vintage cameo brooch in her hair was lent by the groom’s grandmother and a vintage diamond and pearl bracelet was courtesy of her dearest friend. The bride treated herself to a pair of rose gold and crystal earrings as her ‘something new’. The entire wedding party embraced the concept of ‘something blue’ by popping a bottle of blueberry scented bubbles pre-ceremony!
