Sarah + Cameron's Portland Oregon Wedding at The Riverview Restaurant

I absolutely loved the color palette for Sarah and Cameron’s wedding. Blush, burgundy and navy with gold accents makes for a very beautiful combination.

Riverview Restaurant was a perfect backdrop for their wedding day.

Sarah’s bouquet was chock full of beautiful summer blooms -including Cafe au lait dahlias, burgundy dahlias, scabiosa, chocolate cosmos, garden spray roses, garden roses, nine bark, geranium and more.

Mixing dark and light blooms together can be a difficult task. You don’t want to have a polka dot effect. It takes practice to blend the contrasting tones together seamlessly -basically like painting.

I cannot say enough about our local Oregon flower farmers who grow all the amazing floral varieties for us to work with. Almost every single bloom used here was American grown. We love supporting #Americangrownflowers

I always pin on the boutonnieres to make sure they are pinned on properly and facing the right way.

Kristen and Michael Mt. Hood SkiBowl Wedding by Powers Photography

Peter Chee with Powers Photography did a phenomenal job capturing the wedding photos. Dark color palettes are some of my favorites to work with. However, they tend to be difficult to properly photograph to get the true sense of color and dimension.

Bridal bouquet featured some of my favorite dark blooms, including: dahlias, roses, cymbidium orchids, scabiosa, peonies, ranunculus, carnations and plenty and texture.

Kristen and Michael were truly an adventurous couple and choose to get married at the top of Mt. Hood at Mt. Hood Skibowl.

Can you imagine taking a ski lift and having your first look with a mountain in the background?

Yep! That’s exactly what they did.

Laurence + Ranjit {A Modern Indian Wedding at The Resort at The Mountain}

I loved creating the flowers for Laurence and Ranjit's fall wedding at The Resort at the Mountain in Welches, Oregon.

The bright colorful fall blooms included dahlia, zinnia, roses, coxcomb, ranunculus and lots of lush foliage. The bright colors, gold lanterns and vessels were a nod to the Indian heritage.

I absolutely loved designing the "henna" style swirl rose petal aisle design featuring thousands of rose petals in coral, burgundy, yellow and orange.

The asymmetrical style floral arbor was a perfect statement piece, and a great way to frame the bride and groom during the ceremony.

The fabulous dessert table and cake was created bu Lux Sucre. The detailing on the cake was just amazing.

Thank you Fritz for catching me in action while designing the ceremony flowers.

Mary and Alejo Oregon Wine Country Wedding

I am finally getting around to blogging this gorgeous wedding captured by Kari Renee Photography.

Mary and Alejo got married at the beautiful Methven Family Vineyard in the Oregon Wine Country. There is something about working out in the wine country that I really enjoy. The rolling hills and the casual relaxing atmosphere is everything.

Mary's wedding flowers featured mostly locally grown blooms including dahlia, scabiosa, nigella, lady mantle, seeded eucalyptus, mini green hydrangea, lisianthus, succulents, dusty miller, roses and larkspur.

Veronica + Elijah {The Sentinel Hotel Portland, Oregon Wedding}

Veronica and Elijah had a beautiful mid September wedding at the exquisite Sentinel Hotel in Downtown Portland, Oregon.

The bride chose rose gold accents and shades of blush pink as her main color palette. That theme carried into her lavish blush toned gown from Ania Collection.

Bridal party flowers consisted of the most luxurious local cafe au lait dahlias, ranunculus, garden roses, sweet peas, snow berry, dusty miller and blushing bride protea.

Thank you MAXM Studio for sharing those beautiful images with us.
