Purple greenhouse wedding with goats

Alaina Leary Lavoie, 3 years ago 1 1 min read

Tracy and Laurie met at work and are both bus drivers for King County Metro. They wanted a laid-back, simple yet beautiful wedding to celebrate their joining their lives. Black Diamond Gardens in Black Diamond, Washington, provided the perfect greenhouse space for their celebration, complete with livestock such as goats. Tracy’s favorite color, purple, provides pops of color from her hair to their decor to Laurie’s vest. They went for the less-traditional bride and “broom,” and honored Laurie’s veteran status with an American flag backdrop to their Mrs. & Mrs. topped cake.
