Lisa + Tom | Sodo Park - Seattle + Portland Wedding Planner, Perfectly Posh Events

Modern Boho Wedding Full of Fun and Love

We are so thrilled to share the photos from Lisa + Tim’s wedding with the world! The overall vibe was a fun party with a modern, boho design. Their special day showcased their love for their friends and family as well as the true love they share with each other.

Lisa and Tom are an adventurous couple. So it was important for them to incorporate their passion for travel. And their fur baby, Ernie, in his dapper tux, stole not only the show but everyone’s hearts as well!!

Lisa and Tom celebrated their marriage at Sodo Park in Seattle. Lisa had always wanted an outdoor wedding. But once she toured Sodo Park she immediately fell in love with the venue. It was important for the couple to feel like they brought the outdoors in. So they chose full, spring blooms with pampas grass and lots of greenery.

Bucking Ceremony Traditions

Lisa and Tom really value their relationships with their loved ones. It was important for their guests to remember how full of love their wedding was. So they bucked tradition.

Lisa + Tom bucked ceremony wedding tradition by marrying in a ceremony in the round, surrounded by their loved ones.

Rather than having a wedding party of a few select friends they decided to have all their friends and family surround them during the ceremony with a “ceremony in the round.” Above them hung a beautiful hoop decorated with greenery which for sure gave their ceremony that outdoorsy feel.

Their fur baby Ernie, short for Ernesto, stole the show as the ringbearer-pup fully decked out in a tuxedo. After a few tries he eventually made it down the aisle all on his own with lots of excitement and personality!

It was important for Lisa and Tom to incorporate their love of travel in the reception. Before their big day, they’d take time off to travel the world. 10 months. 27 countries. And countless memories. At the end of the trip Tom proposed to Lisa at a little island off the coast of Cambodia. Their table numbers featured photos of their travels!

Lisa and Tom know how to have a good time. And they’re anything but traditional. So throwing just a meh reception wouldn’t truly represent the couple’s personality. They describe each other as “goofballs” and they love to laugh together, which is evident in most of their wedding photos.

That playful and fun-loving vibe spilled into the reception. From a custom, neon sign…

To their handpicked boho lounge…

To the band that really made sure their guests got that fun, party vibe. The couple kicked off the dancing with their first dance. And it was far from traditional. The lead singer started The Proclaimers’ “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” a cappella. Then the full band came in. That got guests up off their seats and right onto the dance floor, where many of them stayed all night long!

Lisa + Tom were the perfect couple to work with. They trusted the planning process. They knew they wanted a modern, fun and not-overdone celebration. One full of love, laughs and cheer. Lisa + Tom are easy going. And they also care so deeply about one another. Their friends often make comments about how perfect they are for each other. And we would have to agree.
