Why you should get married in Washington

5 things that we love about Washington state
  1. Mountain Views

Washington's mountains, including the iconic peaks of the Cascade Range and the Olympic Mountains, offer breathtaking vistas and unparalleled outdoor adventure opportunities. From the rugged beauty of Mount Rainier to the pristine wilderness of the North Cascades, Washington's mountains are a playground for nature enthusiasts.

2. Wildflower Season

Washington's wildflower season paints the landscape with vibrant colors, especially in the spring and summer months, as alpine meadows and valleys burst into bloom. From the iconic fields of lupine in the North Cascades to the delicate blossoms adorning Mount Rainier's slopes, Washington's wildflowers create a stunning display of natural beauty.

3. Evergreen

Washington's lush landscape earns it the nickname "The Evergreen State," thanks to its abundant forests of towering evergreen trees like Douglas firs and Western hemlocks that remain green year-round.

4. National Parks

Washington state proudly boasts not one, not two, but three national parks, each offering its own unique blend of natural wonders and outdoor adventures. From the rugged peaks of the North Cascades to the pristine wilderness of Olympic and the iconic beauty of Mount Rainier, these parks showcase the diverse landscapes that define the Evergreen State.

5. Fall Colors

As autumn arrives Washington landscape transforms into a breathtaking canvas of vibrant fall colors. The hillsides come alive with hues of gold, red, and orange as the foliage of deciduous trees paints the mountainside in a stunning display of seasonal beauty.

Close your eyes and imagine what your adventurous wedding day(s) could look likeโ€ฆ

Plan a multi-day wedding experience where you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Day 1 could focus on hiking, another adventure, or simply spending quality time together, while Day 2 can be dedicated to celebrating with your loved ones. Itโ€™s the perfect option for couples who canโ€™t choose between intimacy and partying with friends and family!
