One might think that Jen and Brady got married at an outdoor, Italian bistro, but in reality it was on their family's property out in Lake Oswego. They came to us with the idea of creating a laid-back, organic, but beautiful wedding where guests felt welcomed and comfortable. The result was magic. It was simple, yet intentional; high-end yet laid back. And the setting was full of memories, both old and new.
Jen and Brady held an intimate ceremony at Brady's family's lake house, where they spent summers and 4th of July's filled with friends and laughter. Fast forward to their wedding day, and now they get to say that the dock is where they saw each other for their first look and said "I Do" in front of their close friends and family!
The reception was just as sweet, held in the backyard of Brady's childhood home. We helped them select a layout and rentals that fit the space and added visual interest - simple but intentionally selected items - and they hand-selected and even made some of their table decor. Jen designed the menus to give dinner that Italian Bistro feel, and together they crafted and poured the candles. Their dad even installed all the lighting! It's a perfect example of DIY done right - little touches that didn't feel like work, but added to the fun of the planning process.
There's a reason we love planning Private Residence Weddings! If you're also thinking about hosting a wedding in your backyard or on family property, read our blog: Planning a Backyard Wedding in the PNW.
