Katerine

What brought you to Spokane?

I am currently attending Gonzaga University and was drawn to the community feel of the school. Being from Wenatchee I was ready for a larger city, but still wanted to be driving distance from home. I have come to love Spokane through the years and love my Zags!

What do you like about living in the Inland Northwest?

The great outdoors is truly a passion of mine. From hiking to skiing, the Inland Northwest boasts the best of the best. I also love the people of the area, the community focus and feel have solidified that this is a unique place to live.

What is your favorite dessert, and where is the best place to get it?

As summer approaches, my current favorite is ice cream from Scoop! They have an array of flavors and I have never been disappointed trying something new!

Color Inspired: Cherry Blossom Wedding

Bridesmaids / Inspiration / Katie / Pink / Uncategorized / White

Spring is in full force and so are all the beautiful cherry blossoms! I recently have seen the pretty little pink flowers blossoming on trees while on morning runs and was inspired to create a cherry blossom palette. I especially am in love with the beautiful earrings and heals on this palette!

Vendor Spotlight: Country Elegance

Logan / Vendor Profiles / Venue

Vendor: Country Elegance, owner Jeneen Barrett

Country Elegance Owner Jeneen Barrett

Location: Off of Spokane’s South Hill, near Farris High School

Address: 4407 E. Jamieson Rd. Spokane, WA 99223

Phone: (509) 220-3797

Email: countryelegance@hotmail.com

Price Range: Only $3500 for the location and use of all amenities on site. Also includes a $500 deposit. Does not include tables and chairs, however, vendor will chip in $500 towards rentals for up to three days.

Just when we thought we had seen all Spokane had to offer…

We only had to drive a few minutes out of the South Hill to be proven wrong.

Compared to downtown Spokane, we were in another world — a world tucked inside a green valley, cozily surrounded by tall pines, a three-story, fiery red barn, off-setting the lush green fields, filled with the sounds of a faithful waterfall beneath a large weeping willow. But don’t let us forget to mention the ducks, geese, chickens, deer, and horses. Sound like bustling downtown Spokane to you?

This classy working farm has so much to offer, we can’t put it on paper. It’s perfect for those do-it-yourself brides who know what they want. Want to walk down the aisle of horse stalls rather than a church? You can. Want your reception under the stars without the light pollution of the city? It can happen. Want a barn dance? You got it. Want pictures of your wedding party in a field full of horses? Take them. Want authentic cow skulls from Montana as part of your decorations? Perfect…she’s got you covered. There are so many beautiful, unique places to take your wedding photos, the overwhelmed photographer won’t know where to start. You have the location — now you have the freedom. “Just do what you need to do,” says [owner’s name].

Pictures speak louder than words, however.

Color Inspired: Purple and Violet

Bridesmaids / Chambray / Flowers / Inspiration / Invitations / Katie / Plum / Purple / Trends

This color palette was inspired by all the various shades of purple I found when looking at wedding details. A combined mixture of different shades can make for a beautiful wedding theme anytime of the year. I especially love the purple heels in this palette that either the bridesmaids or bride could wear on the wedding day.

Color Inspired: Black and White

Black / Dresses / Flowers / Inspiration / Katie / White

Black and white can be classy anytime during the year. This inspiration came from a striped and checkered black and white suit combination. I had never seen this sort of combination before and thought it would add a little flare to a black and white wedding.
