Exclusive First Look with The Knot: Taryn and Alec at Roche harbor

Writer's picture: Genevieve de La CruzGenevieve de La Cruz

Nestled in the serene beauty of the San Juan Islands, Roche Harbor Resort served as the picturesque backdrop for Taryn and Alec's intimate yet luxurious wedding. On July 24, 2024, the couple exchanged vows amidst the historic charm of this seaside venue, renowned for its beautiful garden and chapel ceremony settings.


From our initial meeting, Taryn and I developed a deep friendship that made planning her special day an absolute joy. She would FaceTime me, we would send pictures back and forth, and we would laugh about all our grand schemes, it was so fun! I learned a ton about the two of them and things that were meaningful to them and curated a wedding that reflected her and Alec's unique love story, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned and thoughtful.


EBG worked very closely with Emerald City Flowers, our premiere floral design partner to choose blooms special to Taryn like the peonies her and her mom grew together and lily of the valley, the epitome of classic luxury, to match the Dior cake plates we used in the design. BT, their founder, has an incredible eye for design and creates the most beautiful arrangements. We also worked nearly in tandem for months with Taylor from Honest Calligraphy, choosing the best textures, fonts, and paper to best create the details that conveyed our aesthetic. Taylor helped make this custom toile pattern featured on their menus, bar wallpaper, and champagne wall that featured special details to T&A.


The wedding's design embraced a classic aesthetic, featuring all-white floral arrangements that exuded timeless elegance. The garden at Roche Harbor, a charming flowering space nestled between the historic Hotel de Haro and the bustling marina, provided the perfect setting for the ceremony. We angled the ceremony to get a view of the iconic hotel in the background and it was perfect.


With 75 of their closest friends and family in attendance, Taryn and Alec's celebration was both intimate and grand. The evening was serenaded by a live piano performance by Aaron Buckner, adding a touch of sophistication and creating a romantic ambiance that resonated throughout the night.


Our team was thrilled to bring Taryn and Alec's vision to life. The combination of a stunning venue, elegant design, and heartfelt moments made this wedding truly unforgettable.


We are proud to share that Taryn and Alec's wedding was featured in The Knot, highlighting the beauty and significance of their special day.
