Living in Seattle definitely has its perks when it comes to finding a unique wedding venue. Many of the city's old rustic industrial warehouses in the SODO, Fremont, Ballard, and West Seattle neighborhoods are being transformed into one-of-a-kind spaces perfect for hosting both intimate and large wedding parties. Exposed piping, cement, and brick on the walls and ceilings create stunning distressed wedding photography backdrops. Some of these spaces fully embrace their modern interior design vibes by adding in distinctive design elements that set them apart from the other venues. Hideaway Cellars has wooden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, as well as large sliding barn doors that open and close, perfect for hiding the wedding room flip. Multiple sky lights allow natural sunlight to enter the venue during the daytime, minimizing the need for additional lighting.

An amazing team of vendors came together to create this rustic indoor wedding reception with modern elements. Guests were welcomed into the reception room by a giant clear acrylic seating chart. Diagonal copper borders broke up the large surface area, creating different sections for table numbers and attendees' names.

After they found their names, guests were seated at the gorgeous reception tables. The copper chargers and clear ghost chairs gave the whole table design a fresh, approachable look. We brought the outdoors inside by lining the wooden farm tables with tall, lush tree branches in clear hurricane vases which created the illusion of a hanging floral installation. The tall centerpieces fanned out dramatically above the guests, yet still allowed them to see each other on the opposite side of the table.

This reception reflected modern trends asymmetry in the placement of the triangle-fold napkins, geometrically-shaped dinner menus, and unconventional box-shaped wine glasses. The matte black flatware served as the perfect finishing touch to these elevated rustic table settings.
