kiana lodge wedding venue

setting the foundation for the rustic charm of sadie and erin’s forest wedding was their venue, kiana lodge. this northwest lodge wedding venue, located in poulsbo, washington truly set the scene for their woodland wedding setting.

kiana lodge’s manicured grounds proved to be plenty of space for their outdoor wedding. surrounded by fragrant cedar trees and mature firs, guests were in awe of the natural beauty that surrounded them.

waterfront wedding ceremony

sadie and erin selected a waterside outlook for their wedding ceremony space. much like their wedding day, their waterfront wedding ceremony felt charming and relaxed. their grassy wedding aisle was decorated with white folding chairs on either side. potted flowers marked the front of the altar and adorned the altar along with a pergola.

all of their wedding flowers were a mixture of soft whites, vibrant oranges, and greenery. with a beautiful lake serving as their backdrop and small houses sprinkled along the lakefront at the other side, kiana lodge created a beautiful waterside wedding that felt like being in a backyard.
