Bozarth Mansion Wedding

Posted on by

I headed back over to the east side of the state last weekend for a wedding in Spokane at the Bozarth Mansion.  Bri’s parents bought the cabin next to ours at Priest Lake about 10 years ago, and they have been close family friends since. R had last Friday off, so we went out with friends in Tacoma and I planned on packing/leaving early Saturday morning. Late night Friday led to crazy rushing Saturday and I had about 10 minutes to get ready for the wedding once I got to Spokane. All of my anxiousness dissolved as soon as we arrived at the mansion. Bri and her mom, Kim, had done a wonderful job creating a charming, intimate, and elegant detail orientated ceremony and reception (with support from the menfolk too of course!).

There were hankies wrapped with a ribbon for everyone.

Bri’s bouquet was SO gorgeous – complete with a little bling.

The centerpieces were HUGE, tall hurricanes filled with roses, ranunculus, hydrangeas, and greenery.  The reception was in the Bozarth garden area, which like I said before, had a very intimate feeling.  There are big trees that provide shade, the walls and walkways are brick and there is a quaint fountain.  It was like the Secret Garden.  When the sun went down, candles and overhead Edison style string lights provided soft lighting.

It has been so fun this summer attending so many different styles of weddings, each day reflects such personality.  I just love it!

Make it a wonderful week!

Engagement Present Ideas

If you are anything like us right now, it seems like 2013 is the year of the wedding!  We have lots of friends getting engaged, married, and we’re at the beginning stage of those starting to have babies.  Thought I would share my favorite engagement gift ideas.

State Love Shadow Box by InvincibleInc – $45

I actually got Rory something similar to this for our first anniversary (paper).  Super cute if they are from two different states.  There are options on Etsy that can be customized with one state and the town name, the couple’s names, or the date they met.

1000WonderfulThings_BetterHalfWeddingsA Smart Bride is an Organized Bride Planning Notebook – $150

Great for a couple of friends to go in on together for the bride.

1000WonderfulThings_RingHolder

Wedding Ring Holder by The Papery Nook – $13

This is a super easy DIY also, you can customize the frame, and background according to the bride’s tastes.

1000WonderfulThings_PromisePottery

Customized Ring Dish by Promise Pottery – $20

This ring dish is my favorite go-to engagement prezzie.  It takes a couple weeks for delivery, but it’s simple and sweet.  Plus, it’s a great price point.   I personally don’t take my ring off for fear of losing it, but this dish is great for other trinkets bedside like chapstick, earrings, or hairbands.

Guess my friends will know what they’re getting after saying YES!

P.S. When we moved into our house our fave housewarming presents were this slate cheeseboard and a new return address stamp that we LOVE.
