Two brides, two officiants, and a glowing garden wedding

Whitney and Marley had two officiants to wrangle their interfaith (Jewish and Christian) ceremony in Sequim, WA. They had both communion and Kiddush amongst what has to be one of the most beautiful locales in the history of me seeing things. The brides were just chilling in the lush gardens of The Cutting Garden during the golden hour, and it makes me want to roll around in the grass like a puppy first discovering the backyard.

Use old time-y Circus Peanuts to hold your place cards

Cheap, bright colors, perfectly smooshable with cardstock: candy Circus Peanuts were MADE for place card holders, you guys. Lauren and Stan’s turn-of-the century circus cards are a match if ever there was one. Circus Peanuts became really popular around the 1940s, so they have a very vintage, penny candy vibe. Plus, every one takes their seat and already has a sweet little nosh to tide them over.
