One forgets how many leaves actually do come down as the days get shorter and shorter and the temperatures sudden drop taking our breath away. The question then is asked “how does it all get done?” The answer comes as soon as the sun comes out and the dew glistens white on the different gardens around the venue reminding us how truly lovely this time of year at Stepping Stones Garden really is… just as it is.

Yep fall, or rather late fall, is the time for reflections and many many thanks; I just can’t help myself. Or possibly because I just had shoulder surgery and am now being forced into taking some time off and alas having the opportunity to think back on all of the wonderful vendors who helped make the perfect northwest weddings at Stepping Stones Garden venue. I hope everyone checks out these wedding professionals, all located in Skagit County (except two as noted), and look at some of the pictures showing off their creativity and skills.
