December | Opulent winter wedding at The Ruins in Seattle. Inspired by the venue's ornate interiors, their celebration blended Old Hollywood glamour and maximalist romance with lush florals, rich jewel tones, and an abundance of candlelight.

There are cut crystal water goblets on the table in addition to flowers, table numbers, and bread. The walls of the room are covered in intricate wallpaper and decor with navy, pink, gold, and mint details. The room is very opulent and highly stylized.

Some venues create a stunning blank canvas, but The Ruins is anything but! With its dramatic blue and gold murals, magnificent chandeliers, and eclectic architectural details, this Seattle wedding venue brings a backdrop that is immersive, grand, and truly unforgettable! For this wedding, Julia and Trevor embraced the venue's extravagant personality, creating a design that felt opulent, romantic, and oh so hollywood. A rich palette of navy, mauve, burgundy, and blush was layered with metallic accents, vintage-inspired details, and lush florals by Dreyer House.


The ceremony was dripping with romance. A velvet mauve aisle runner, dozens of glowing pillar candles, and abundant floral arrangements transformed the already spectacular space into a truly romantic setting. Encased in The Ruins' ornate murals, our design choices intentionally complemented the rich colors and intricate details of The ruins, allowing the venue itself to become a seamless part of the celebration.


The reception was a Gatsby worthy feast for the eyes. Deep navy linens, burgundy napkins, sparkling crystal glassware, and gold Chiavari chairs created a sophisticated foundation for an eclectic collection of floral arrangements, vintage-inspired vessels, and candlelight.

Elsewhere, a lush floral installation adorned the fireplace, while thoughtful personal touches added warmth and personality. From a vintage telephone guest book to signature cocktails named after the couple's four cats, every corner offered something to delight the senses.


Julia and Trevor's stunning celebration was brought to life through Your Perfect Bridesmaid's Premiere Planning Package, combining thoughtful, tailored wedding design with expert coordination. From curating a cohesive aesthetic to bringing every detail together on the wedding day, our team helped create a celebration that was as seamless as it was spectacular!
