A mix of indoor and outdoor space at The Canal creates an ideal location for a winter wedding. If the weather permits, couples can get married on the beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the Salmon Bay Bridge. If it happens to be raining, which is considered good luck on a wedding day, the inside is still a picture perfect option - with gorgeous views overlooking the Ballard Locks.

This bride and groom chose to have an indoor ceremony and reception at the Canal, but they were still able to get some lovely photos outside! They went with a simple color scheme of blue and purple – using light blue hydrangeas and purple flowers in their centerpieces. Their love for being active was displayed in their festive décor, with frames having terms like “squat,” “deadlift,” and “burpee” on them.
