The Forest
The first, and perhaps most important, aspect of a wedding is the location. At Treehouse Point, celebrations are held on our gorgeous forest property, surrounded by towering trees and nestled among our treehouses.
Spring weddings are also known as our “forest fairy weddings” because of how whimsical the property feels during this time of year. While the evergreens stay vibrant year-round, our deciduous plants make their grand return in spring, bringing the rest of the forest to life with color!
Notice how the ferns take on a brilliant shade of green, signaling new growth throughout the property. Flowers, such as the beautiful rhododendron, Washington’s state flower, begin to blossom in gorgeous shades of reds, pinks, and purples.

The Flowers
Our favorite flowers are in full bloom during the springtime! Peonies, tulips, daffodils, sweet peas, spring roses, lily of the valley, and lilacs all make their appearance, offering endless inspiration for bouquets that feel lush and beautiful.
Imagine your enchanting wedding dinner with each table featuring a beautiful floral centerpiece like this for your guests.
Take advantage of spring’s natural abundance and cut costs by choosing your favorite in-season dream florals.
Feel inspired by this whimsical arbor, adorned with fresh, hanging roses!
We adore these beautiful roses placed delicately on a spring elopement cake.

3. The Weather
Spring in Washington State is ever-changing in the most romantic way. Some days feel moody and overcast, wrapping the venue in that classic Pacific Northwest charm, while others are bright and sunlit, bringing the colors of spring to life.
Temperatures are mild, which makes the season perfect for outdoor ceremonies tucked beneath the trees or by the river.
Picture you and your one true love posing for romantic portraits down by the river.
If rain does threaten to make an appearance, we have cozy indoor options like the Pond Room, or a collection of charming umbrellas for a cinematic moment on the lawn.
Western Washington is known for its gentle drizzle, but it’s rare for the sky to turn dark with a heavy storm. These soft, rainy moments feel the most romantic.

This photo was taken in late January, but I had to include a moody umbrella shot so you could see it in action. Now imagine the same scene bathed in the soft glow of a springtime forest. Utterly magical.
The Advantages of Good Timing
Early spring is often considered the “off season,” but we like to think of it as one of the Pacific Northwest’s best-kept secrets.
Booking in early spring offers more flexibility in securing your ideal wedding date and vendor team, as it’s a quieter time of year for bookings.
Spring also brings clear, crisp air and bright, sunny days, with fewer bugs than in the height of summer.
These are the woodland paths you’ll follow to spend your wedding night tucked away in a treehouse, high among the canopies. Truly, this time of year adds a special type of magic to the venue.

And there you have it—some of our favorite reasons to book your wedding during this season of magic and renewal. Spring brings breathtaking beauty to the Pacific Northwest, and offers a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a quieter, more intimate season.

Chase the Cherry Blossoms
Late March through early April marks peak cherry blossom season in the Pacific Northwest. For a picture-perfect afternoon, head to the University of Washington’s Seattle campus and settle beneath a canopy of soft pink blooms. Bring a good book, a warm drink, and something to snack on—it’s the kind of place you’ll want to linger.
Looking for something a little closer to home? Just five minutes from Treehouse Point, Fall City offers its own small town charm. In spring, soft pink cherry blossoms line the main strip, with views of Mount Si rising in the distance. Right across the street is the Fall City Art Park, with a few cozy benches and beautiful cherry blossom views.
While you’re there, stop by Pete’s Treefort at Aroma Coffee Co. It’s a playful handcrafted structure built by the team at Nelson Treehouse & Supply. Though small, Pete’s Treefort is an unforgettable piece of the magic. You’ll find people sipping their drinks on the stools up top, soaking in the sunshine and elevated views.

Spring Hiking Nearby
Some of our favorite nearby trails are open year-round, but they feel especially magical in the spring. Lower elevation hikes begin to bloom with wildflowers during this time of year, while higher elevation trails, like those at Mount Rainier National Park, wake up a little later, with peak blooms arriving in the summer months.
Some of our favorite nearby trails For Spring include:
Poo Poo Point, which offers sweeping views over the city of Issaquah all year round. In the summer, you’ll see people paragliding from the top in tandem with an instructor.
Dirty Harry’s Balcony via Birdhouse Trail for a more adventurous climb. At the top, you’ll reach a rocky ledge overlooking the valley below, showcasing expansive views of the evergreens.
Ira Spring Trail to Mason Lake, a gorgeous seven-mile trail with sights of the valley, wildflower meadows, and lake.
Rattlesnake Ledge, an extremely popular hike in North Bend (for good reason), with a breath taking panorama of Rattlesnake Lake from the top.
Twin Falls at Olallie State Park, a nearly three mile hike with views of the Lower Falls and Upper Falls. You’ll find gorgeous wildflowers early May to early June.
Visit the Kirkland Water Front
Spring is also the perfect time to slow down and soak in the beauty of the region.
When the sun finally shines in the Pacific Northwest, Washingtonians are quick to escape to the outdoors. We recommend doing the same by taking a stroll along the Kirkland waterfront, or bring a book and sit at one of the numerous parks along Lake Washington. You’ll likely see families basking in the rays alongside you, friends playing frisbee in the parks, and bikers blazing through the trails. Kirkland is a people-watcher’s dream!
If you’re craving a deeper reset, treat yourself to a wellness experience at Von Sauna—a peaceful escape designed to help you fully unwind. This unique experience invites you to spend time in the sauna’s heat, then plunge into the frigid waters of the lake. Repeat a few times for maximum rejuvenation. Make new friends by signing up for a social session, or book the entire floating sauna for yourself!
Exploring Small Town Charm
Spend an afternoon wandering through historic downtown Snoqualmie.
Pop into cozy, artsy cafés like The Black Dog, known for its warm atmosphere, vegan options, and weekly open mic nights. Grab an ice cream cone from Snoqualmie Ice Cream and walk past the Historic Snoqualmie Depot, or even go inside the museum and look at the exhibits for free!
Just a short drive away, North Bend offers another iconic stop. Fans of Twin Peaks will recognize the town’s familiar feel—and you can even sit down at Twede’s Café, a beloved filming location.
