With many a mountain and woodland to choose from, Washington state is the perfect location for any adventurous couple who want a rugged, earthy feel for their wedding. The varied landscape of the state means you can often experience mountain overlooks, lakes and forests within walking distance of one another. Mount Rainier is one of those places, with mountains, fields, streams and woodlands all right next to each other: think of The Shire where Hobbits live because it’s that sort of idyllic vibe.

Of course, the summer months offer the most chance of sunshine for your ceremony, but spring and fall also offer mild weather and fewer tourists. Winter weddings can be gorgeous too, with snowfall in the mountainous areas. However, the winter is rainy and combined with heavy snowfall can make the mountains inaccessible so be prepared with a backup plan!
