Held at Zephyr Lodge in Liberty Lake, WA, Kendra and Adam wanted a colourful, retro inspired wedding which they discovered was actually pretty unique for their area. In the Pacific Northwest the wedding default seems to be moody, muted and rustic, but they wanted the opposite! It made it pretty difficult to build the bright colourful wedding of their dreams at times, but luckily (with a bit of help from Rock n Roll Bride!) they were finally able to find some like-minded vendors who were thrilled to be a part of their day.
