The Seattle Wedding Show has thousands of attendees each year. I found attending on Sunday you’ll find things a bit quieter than Saturday, opening day. The show offers the ability to see and chat with wedding service providers, view the latest trends, pick up free literature like the latest bridal magazine and often even try on wedding gowns. My friend Kay and I always had fun attending. Kay was my second Photographer when I photographed weddings. The high-energy fashion show was one of my favorite parts and it happened several times each day. I would plan my day around making sure I caught one of the shows.

Each year it was interesting to see how the cake and flower venues worked in the Pantone Color of the Year into their creations. The Pantone Color of the Year for 2023 even influenced dresses, mainly those for bridesmaids and mothers of the bride. It will be interesting to see this year the color is Viva Magenta.

Most couples from the Olympic Peninsula will pick vendors and venues closer to home. However, this show offers couples a chance to ask questions of Photographers and other vendors that could help them in their decision-making process as they plan their wedding using local services.

One of the weddings I photographed years ago had a small cake that the bride and groom cut and then offered different flavored cupcakes to their guests. Locally It Takes the Cake in Sequim offers both delicious and unique wedding cakes and cupcakes. They have made cakes and cupcakes for several of the weddings I have photographed. Owners, Sue and Paul were great to work with.
