Weddings look different for everyone, and that's what we love so much about what we do. Often, we're helping couples find a blend between two religious backgrounds, and others we're helping them incorporate their own spin on traditions. Christine and Gregory's magical and ethereal forest wedding was anything but traditional, with numerous different rituals and ceremonies to celebrate their love. It was important for them to incorporate meaningful celebrations, and they took inspiration from various backgrounds. Guests were greeted with cacao, and blessed with whimsical live harp music while they said "I Do" under their artfully made chuppah. Guests also enjoyed a tea ceremony and elixirs, and Indian food by Swagat.
With so many moving parts, we were more than happy to be a part of their day and assist with designing and coordinating their ceremonies. Not every participant in weddings come from a wedding background, and that's where having a planner or coordinator can help connect all the dots. Camp Colton, nestled in the Mt. Hood National Forest, is the perfect wedding for an ethereal and magical wedding day.
