A Modern Fairytale Wedding at a Portland Winery
This plum and fig-inspired styled shoot is perfect inspiration for a spring wedding and couples who want a unique tablescape, appreciate the finer details and want to live a modern fairytale. This soft and earthy color palette with mauve, blush, taupe and sangria came together even better than we imagined.
We love creating designs that compliment the venue we're working with. Amaterra Winery is an architectural beauty, and when it opened in 2022, we couldn't wait to work inside their indoor/outdoor event space with its floor to ceiling triangular windows, the stunning wood and concrete pillars and and it's views of the Willamette Valley. We couldn't have done it without this stellar team of PNW vendors!
The Details
Details were important for this design. We wanted every aspect to feel luxurious but delicate, airing on the side of minimalism. The torn-edges and thin curling script of the invitation suite created by The Lettering Bee really set the tone for the design, which you'll also see continued on the reception table. And those Bella Belle shoes... they're the luxury wedding shoe you just might be looking for.
The Ceremony
For ceremony, we wanted guests to be able to see all the beauty of the rolling hills and city lights - Rachael Meader created a simple and airy floral semi-circle and candle-lit aisle. Our model bride and groom were soon-to-be weds at the time of the shoot getting excited about married life and wedding planning. Luis wore a tan suit, perfect for the spring and a Hellebore boutonniere, and Jasmine wore a dress fit for a fairytale and held a delicate bouquet of blushes, mauves and ivory.
The Reception
This table and cake table are from our modern fairytale dreams. The reception table is simple yet a statement, luxurious yet organic, colorful yet soft. We loved the idea of having the fruit be the main ingredient for a runner, flourished by an airy mauve runner and light eucalyptus to fill in the spaces. Other than the statement runner, we wanted to maintain a certain level of softness of the design with minimalistic pieces with luxurious details and textures: the off-white textured linen, the detailed silverware, monochromatic menus with deckled edges, and dainty script place cards. And the cake table... we're in love. We mentioned that details were an important part of this design, and the cake was no exception. Rachael created these beautiful airy arrangements with moss at the base to frame the all-white cake piped amazing details, baked by Papa Haydn.
