This Moody Woodland Wedding in Washington is Brimming with Burgundy Accents

When the bride works in the wedding industry, she’s seen a lot. Marina, today’s lovely bride, is a makeup artist who knew she wanted a day filled with rich hues and luxe details. Dane, the groom, is a woodworker, so they’re both extremely creative.

Marina explains: “We have a quirky sense of music and possibly style…” We kept it classy and elegant, but with a dark twist! And it turns out that what she thought she wanted in the first place (a very simple and minimalist gown) was not what she fell in love with.

That just goes to show that sometimes you see a picture-perfect wedding and want to recreate it, but it’s perfectly fine to change things up and go with what feels more *YOU.* In fact, we beg you. Always, always, always make things more about you and your love. Oh, and wait until you see the groom’s dapper suit—we’re obsessed!

Let’s go to Woodland, Washington, to see the day Keen Events is planned, as captured by Naba Zabih Photography!

Their Stylish Threads

Marina explains, “I walked into Jaclyn’s Bridal in Costa Mesa on a completely random day while visiting family in California.” I fell in love with someone who was the polar opposite of what I was looking for. I wanted something simple and elegant, but as I tried on dresses, I fell in love with all of the glitzy, lace dresses that were more princess-like.

It turns out that I’m a little more “extra” than I thought! To make it my own, I had her remove all of the fluff and add 3D lace flowers. The most beautiful gown I’d ever seen.

How dapper is Dane in this burgundy suit? Here are a few other threads we dig:
