Northwest Vintage Carnival Wedding at Kiana Lodge

Prepare yourself for a carnival extravaganza- what a wedding, family, and team!  Our lovely clients Cara and Edmund live in San Francisco, but wanted to tie the knot in Cara's home state Washington. The goal was a fun filled, elegant affair loosely inspired by the film 'Water for Elephants'. Kiana Lodge’s waterside lawn and adjoining hall provided the perfect space for a ceremony and carnival cocktail hour with a view followed by dinner and dancing indoors with live music, entertainment, lush floral, and abundant treats (to satisfy Cara’s sweet tooth). The spectacles were not limited to cocktail hour, the day was rife with entertainment and carnival fare, including a caricature artist, fortune teller, balloon darts, popcorn, cotton candy, carnival pins, photo booth, kissing booth, and more. The result was a remarkable celebration that joined two families together with distinctively fun flair.

Many thanks to our amazing vendor team who helped us bring Cara and Edmund's carnival wedding to life.

XO- the GATHER girls
