Raindrops, Roses, and Retriever Kisses: A Cozy September Wedding at Pine Creek Nursery

There’s something undeniably magical about a September wedding in the Pacific Northwest. The air is crisp with the first hints of fall, the gardens are still bursting with blooms, and when you add in a greenhouse, a golden retriever in a bow tie, and a couple deeply in love, you get a day that feels like a scene straight from a storybook.

A Venue that Feels Like Home
Nestled among the lush trees and winding paths of Pine Creek Nursery, this wedding was the perfect blend of rustic charm and cozy elegance. The venue offered an intimate atmosphere with warm wood interiors, vintage leather furniture, and stunning greenery—an ideal setting to wait out a little rain and create unforgettable memories indoors and out.

Love in Every Drop
While many couples might worry about rain on their wedding day, these two leaned into the romance of it. The greenhouse at Pine Creek became a dreamy, rain-kissed sanctuary for portraits, as the soft patter of droplets danced on the glass above them. The bride’s gown flowed effortlessly over the gravel paths, and her bouquet of muted blush, navy, and ivory tones looked as though it was gathered fresh from the garden.

A Furry Guest of Honor
Stealing hearts (and the spotlight) was the couple’s golden retriever, who donned a navy bow tie to match the groom’s suit. Calm, loyal, and always camera-ready, he lounged on the couch with his humans, offering snuggles and grinning for the camera. His presence was not only adorable but also deeply personal—a symbol of the little family already built with love.

Details that Warm the Soul
From the “Eat, Drink and Be Married” sign welcoming guests to the delicate macramé wall hanging and dried floral arrangements, every corner of this wedding felt curated with intention and warmth. The couple’s laughter echoed through the barn, and their joy was tangible in every touch, every glance, and every golden retriever cuddle.

A Love that Glows
As the rain slowed and golden hour peeked through the clouds, the newlyweds stepped outside hand in hand. Their faces glowed not just with the light of sunset but with a love that radiated warmth and gratitude—a perfect reflection of the day itself.
