stunning wedding at the evergreen PDX
When it comes to planning a wedding that encapsulates the essence of a couple's love story, consider me contracted! This was precisely the case when I had the privilege of planning Amanda + Bryant's unforgettable wedding day at multiple locales in Portland, Oregon. Their celebration was a perfect blend of mid-century modern design, craft beer love, vinyl vibes, and stunning florals that left everyone in awe. Not to mention, their impeccable decor earned them a coveted feature in Oregon Wedding Day Magazine.
Charming as ever, Oaks Pioneer Church provided the ideal backdrop for their dreamy ceremony. The rustic charm of this historic venue, nestled among towering oak trees, complemented their vision. Their two sweet dogs, Luna and Aspen, even joined us courtesy of their VIP Pet Sitters, Wags and Garland.
Beer lovers at heart, Amanda + Bryant wanted to incorporate their shared passion into their wedding. Their florals were a true testament to their shared love for craft beer, with hops artfully woven into the arrangements.
Post ceremony, all guests headed to Loyal Legion in SE Portland to imbibe and enjoy appetizers from Devil’s Food Catering. After a short trip upstairs, the celebration continued at The Evergreen in Portland, where Amanda + Bryant's day truly came to life. The venue's contemporary design was the perfect canvas for their mid-century modern-inspired decor. The combination of sleek furniture and carefully chosen details transported guests into a world of vintage elegance.
One of the standout elements of Amanda + Bryant's wedding was the music. They didn't settle for your typical wedding playlist. Instead, they hired DJ Aquaman (Eric Hedford) who spins actual vinyl records, adding an authentic touch of nostalgia to the atmosphere. As the sun began to set and the vinyl spun, it felt like stepping back in time, creating an unforgettable ambiance for their guests.
Amanda + Bryant's dedication to their vision paid off when their wedding decor caught the eye of Oregon Wedding Day Magazine. Captured beautifully by Rithy of RTFaith Photography, it was easy to see why these photos caught the eye of the editing staff. Rithy’s photos and Amanda + Bryant’s unique take on the mid-century modern theme, combined with the hops-infused florals and inclusion of their two pups earned them a feature in this prestigious publication. (Read more here!) It was a well-deserved recognition of their creativity and attention to detail (and I’m always so thrilled to see AME’s couples featured!)
