Pacific City Oregon Coast Micro Wedding {Molly + Blake}

Getting married in 2020 was no easy task, but thankfully the couple chose Carisa with Adornment Events to handle all the little details.

After downsizing the guest list and changing the venue, Molly and Blake finally tied the knot at the private residence on Oregon Coast.

Oregon weather is always unpredictable, the rain was a part of the wedding ceremony. Thankfully Lindsay Blake Photography was able to capture some amazing photos..

After the ceremony, the couples and their closest friends and family changed into their jeans and custom printed hoodies. Celebrating the night away in ultimate comfort.

Thank you Chris from Goodco Studios for yet another amazing video coverage.

Enjoy!

Portland Wedding at Oregon City Private Property Boho Garden Party {McKell + Mike}

Lets take a minute and really appreciate all the beauty at this private property. Mckell’s family worked hard and really knocked it out of the park for their big day. With 300 guests in attendance it was a great space to spread out and really enjoy this August day.

The Ceremony took place in the garden while the Reception was out on the lawn. They also build a large silo which served as a bar. The property featured a few lounge set ups as well as a kids area.

Here is another wedding where Carisa and her team with Adornment Events really made it happen. While private properties are great for events; every single items must be sourced and brought in.

It was a team effort to get all the items set up and ready in time. Never underestimate the power a great Wedding Vendor Team has. It truly takes a village to execute an event.

Mckell chose to focus on bold jewel tones to perfectly accent the green surroundings, while really elevating the Boho decor style through out the wedding.

Jenn Byrne Creative did a wonderful job capturing all the photos and video for this couple.

Enjoy!

Portland Wedding at Scholls Valley Lodge {Rose + Zeb}

Scholls Valley Lodge is one of my favorite outdoor venues. Its close to Portland yet tucked into the wine country. It’s a great option with covered patio to accommodate the unpredictable Oregon weather.

We love to plan on nice weather, but sometimes in the spring the rain is just part of the deal. That did not put a damper on Rose and Zeb’s big day. Thank you Rachel Lecrone Photography for braving the weather and capturing some amazing photographs.

I also cannot stress enough that a Day of Coordinator is a must! Carisa and her team with Adornment Events were literally cleaning off the rain water from the cement pad to get it ready just in time for the guests to arrive for the ceremony. This is not a job for a family or bridal party members. They came to the wedding to spend the time with you.

The ceremony was originally planned to be out on the lawn but had to be moved under the covering. All said and done, the wedding turned out beautiful none the less.

I really loved the dark wood arbor that we adorned with mixed greenery, which then doubled as a head table backdrop. To go along with the wood theme, we used dark stained wood boxes as centerpieces. Featuring the most beautiful locally gown spring peonies, spray roses and variety of foliage.

Rose choose a bright pop of coral color for her bouquet, floral crown as well as the cake flowers.

Bridal bouquet consisted of the most gorgeous coral charm peonies, locally grown garden roses, succulents, ferns, berries, spirea, lisianthus and the brides favorite-Succulents.

Speaking of the cake-Dream Cakes never disappoints. I always enjoy accenting their cakes with our beautiful flowers.

Enjoy!

Portland Wedding at Riverview Restaurant {Grace + Rob}

Grace and Rob had a gorgeous wedding at Rivierview Restaurant. Its a hidden gem that’s located on the way to the Gorge in Troutdale, Oregon. They have several options available for both ceremony and reception layouts- both indoors and out.

The ceremony took place outside in the gazebo/garden while the reception was indoors. The large beautiful windows look out on to the Sandy River.

I really loved the reception set up with long tables and gold chivari chairs. It absolutely transformed the space.

The rest of the photos took place at the nearby waterfalls as well as around the property.

I loved Graces’ unique yet modern 2 piece gown from BHLDN. It suited her quite well. It was fun incorporating orchids as a nod to brides Hawaiian heritage.

Portland Modern Minimalist Wedding at The Bell Tower Chapel- Holly + Mason

Holly was so fun to work with. Being a military wedding, we had to plan everything relatively quickly but since its spring time -there was no shortage of gorgeous blooms. I really loved Holly’s trendy design aesthetic. She wanted to have a lush greenery installation over the ceremony area-which also doubled as the backdrop for their sweetheart table.

The centerpieces, guest book table, sweetheart table and other design elements had a minimalist modern approach to it. I really enjoyed using our gold geometric terrariums and gold votives to play up the minimalistic all foliage designs.

Its always a pleasure working at the newly remodeled The Bell Tower Chapel in Boring, OR. Its a blank canvas for various wedding styles and color palettes.

Congratulations Holly and Mason-it was a pleasure designing for your wedding day. Many Blessings on your new life together.

Thank you T. Lucas Photography for capturing those gorgeous images.

Portland Wedding at Waverley Country Club - Morgan + Chad

Morgan and Chad’s elegant wedding was held at the classic Waverley Country Club in Portland, Oregon.

The weather was absolutely perfect for this early June wedding. Both Ceremony and Reception were held outdoors on the lawn overlooking the beautiful Willamette River.

I build a lush floral installation to mark the ceremony area-which was inspired by a beautiful mantel piece.

We all know June means local peonies!!! I literally used over 300 stems of perfectly blush peonies in centerpieces, bouquets and installation. Many thanks to my wonderful farmer friend who grows those beauties especially for our wedding clients.

Some of my favorite pieces from this wedding would have to be the fun yet classy bridesmaids rompers. Absolutely gorgeous cake from Lux Sucre -mimicking the detailing on the brides gown. And the delicious Charcuterie Table spread by Waverly Country Club.

Congratulations Morgan and Chad it was a pleasure designing for your wedding day.

Thank you Lauryn Kay Photography for capturing those gorgeous images -it absolutely reflects their wedding day.
