Soft Greens, Vintage Swans, and Handmade Details at Château Lill

Megan and Jake Rogers married on September 20, 2025, at Château Lill in Redmond, Washington — a venue whose European lines and formal gardens set a quiet, architectural tone from the start. Photographed by @cityandsoul, the day unfolds in a palette of soft ivory, muted green, and warm neutrals, with styling that feels tactile and collected rather than decorative for decoration’s sake. For couples planning a wedding in the U.S. and looking beyond the obvious, Château Lill offers a perspective that feels considered and visually calm.

Details from the morning set the tone early. Megan’s ivory Prada heels, arranged alongside pearl accessories and soft green paper fans, introduce the colour story with subtle confidence. There’s a gentle rhythm to the materials — smooth leather, pleated paper, polished wood — echoed again and again throughout the day. Rather than leaning on contrast, the styling relies on repetition and restraint, allowing each element to feel connected without becoming predictable.

Megan describes their wedding as “a beautiful combination of elegance and timelessness with a hint of vintage,” and that sentiment comes through most clearly in the handmade details. Her canvas signage, painted by hand, brings an art-led quality to the day, while curated vintage swan motifs appear throughout the décor — from tables to the cake display — offering moments of personality without tipping into novelty. “We loved playing with the color palette and textures for our wedding,” she explains, and the result feels layered, calm, and visually coherent.

Florals play a central role, anchored in whites and soft greens. Arrangements feature full white blooms — including roses and rounded, textured florals — mixed with fresh greenery and delicate stems that soften the château’s structured spaces. At the head table, florals spill gently across linen-draped surfaces, framed by trailing greenery and tall candles, creating depth without excess. The compositions feel generous but controlled, designed to sit with the architecture rather than compete against it.

The cake continues the same visual language. Finished in white with intricate, vintage-inspired piping, it feels sculptural rather than ornate. Displayed alongside glassware, florals, and — once again — the swan motif, the cake table becomes a still life rather than a standalone feature. Nothing is overstyled; everything feels placed with care, as if it has always belonged there.

Captured with a quiet, observational eye, Megan and Jake’s wedding at Château Lill is defined by consistency rather than spectacle. Each visual choice builds gently on the last — colour, texture, material — creating a day that feels cohesive from start to finish. For couples exploring wedding venues across Washington State, or searching for U.S. locations that balance European references with a modern sensibility, Château Lill stands out as a space that rewards thoughtful design.
