Real Weddings in the PNW

Sydney had an absolutely STUNNING vision for her wedding day. The colors alone were romantic and vibrant. Add in a carefully hand-picked team of talented vendors and you've got a winner. 

Up the mountain and in the middle of the forest sits Noble Ridge Tree Deck. Let me tell you... this venue is EPIC on it's own, and even more epic with the striking artistic florals crafted by Fleurs Versailles, Anna and her team absolutely transformed the deck into a fragrant forest oasis.

Abby and her team at Bellyful catering enhanced the experience with a delicious family-style meal and service that was second ot none.

Sydney looked absolutely gorgeous wearing a bridal gown and cape by Ines Di Santo, and had flawless hair & makeup done by Kayla Nicole Beauty.

They finished off the party with smore's and a lively dance floor instigated by DJ Crum Entertainment.

The day was captured (exceptionally, I might add) via photo by Madeline Rose Photo and video by Interstellar Films.

Every year we will go back to recreate this day.... 

JK! 

But I think we all wish that!

Genevieve & Jonathan's wedding exploded with modern chic romance! 

Local florist Simply Elegant Events absolutely delivered on this style with their rentals and floral designs.

Guests were ecstatic sipping Hot to Trot PDX Beverage Buggy's yummy craft cocktails while overlooking the Columbia River at scenic venue Black Pearl on the Columbia

Genevieve was exquisite in her wedding gown, and showed us her sporty, sassy side when she changed into her reception dress. 

Gosh, I love a big bow!

Schwab Creative Weddings

Haley & Patrick had a charming wedding at the beautiful winery, Aurora Colony Vineyards. 

Colorful and vibrant florals were perfectly curated by Flowers by Almanac, mouth-watering food and dessert bar provided by Two Chicks and a Rooster Catering, and a lively dance floor kicked into gear by Aquamarine Productions.

One of the highlights of this wedding for me (and I think everyone else too) was Pacific Pours Mobile Bar.  Yajaira, the owner, crafts delicious cocktails and mocktails and everyone was impressed by her boba bar setup!

Haley & Patrick were an absolute dream of a couple and showed their love for each other effortlessly.

Lauran & Jake had a gorgeous classic wedding at Cape Horn Estate along the Washington Gorge. I primarily worked with Lauran & Didi, the mother of the groom, to finalize all details regarding their gorgeous day. 

Each and every vendor they chose was carefully chosen to make this day come alive. Their florals by Sarah Dickerson Flowers were an absolute dream! 

Madeline Rose Photography Co. is so talented at what she does and each photo was perfect and flawless. 

Jake and Lauran started their guests with a welcome cocktail upon arrival. Their ceremony was sweet, and cocktail hour followed with Gorgeous Grazing Board charcuterie and drinks. Their reception flowed smoothly and everyone tore it up on the dance floor! They laughed, they cried, and they partied so hard that Jake's pants ripped! Luckily, it was at the end of the evening, and now it's just a great story. 

Jake & Lauran and their families were able to relax and soak in every special moment because they chose a fantastic vendor team they could trust.

Allison & Shanahan had a rustic and elegant wedding at The Empress Estate. There was not a dry eye in the crowd when these two said their I do's to each other. Their love was so apparent and everyone saw it.

The outdoor ceremony was followed by a gorgeous cocktail hour on the patio in front of the most beautiful outdoor fireplace. The reception was held inside the Woodland Chateau on the property. 

Nothing can come close to the enthusiasm this bride had when they cut the wedding cake. It was probably one of my all-time favorite moments watching her cut the cake and let loose!

Ana & Matt had a beautiful vision for an outdoor garden ceremony at Shakespeare Gardens and an intimate reception at CH Northeast.

Chas at Wildflower Portland delivered an absolutely gorgeous tablescape, Life in Letters curated the signage, and I once again got to work with the amazing Casi Yost Photography whose work is shown here. 

Ana & Matt's love for each other through so many obstacles shone through in their vows and the way they interact with each other. It was such a joy to be a part of their planning process and one of those weddings that even the vendors didn't want to leave when it was time to end!

Did someone say garden party wedding? 

Serena & Jacob did! They celebrated their love with private vows, a short and sweet ceremony, cocktail hour on the patio, and a lively evening of dinner and dancing. The polaroids were taken all evening and captured the day so perfectly.

Every touch was chic and elegant, and delivered an absolute masterpiece of a wedding! They were an absolute joy to work with and didn't take themselves too seriously (scroll for fun photos).

The talented Casi Yost delivered with photos to match the elegant occasion and Linens & Fleurs worked tirelessly to create all the gorgeous florals to elevate the amazing patio at McMenamins Edgefield.
