Portland Surprise Wedding Proposal with Spotted Stills Photography

It started out with a fun couples Bridal Styled shoot and ended up with Nick proposing to Carlie.

Jen with Spotted Stills Photography was right there to capture this one in a lifetime memory for this sweet couple.

I absolutely loved created this modern ranunculus and textured floral crown. Although I design a lot of floral crowns and wearable hair accents {aka head wreath, halo, floral combs} this one was a top favorite for 2019. It was inspired by the stunning detailing on this gown from BHLDN / Brides for a Cause Portland.

It was fun incorporated a small pop of coral-orange-bronze tones into the bridal bouquet as a nod to fall/October.

Enjoy!

Oregon Columbia River Gorge Elopement with Rue Photography

I am loving the sunset images Rue Photography took at the Columbia River Gorge.

Although it was a cold fall day the images look soft and warm based on Rue’s editing style and the warm color palette of Trisha’s bouquet.

Trisha happens to be a hair and make up stylist and did her own hair and make up here. I love the loose and organic style of the braid.

The dry pods, preserved grassed and textures are truly making a huge comeback right now in the world of weddings and design. Its a perfect boho element for the bride who is looking for a minimalist yet impactful and unique design.

Bridal bouquet consisted of lunaria, pampas grass, eucalyptus, wax flower, bronze ferns, hypericum, roses, bunny tails, magnolia leaves, ranunculus, garden roses and more. Accented with mustard yellow silk ribbons that blew softly in the wind.

The absolutely gorgeous lace gown was from Bridal Exclusives. I always have a soft spot for them, since this is where I purchased my own gown from 14 years ago.

Columbia River Gorge Sunrise Shoot with Simpler Images Photography

This was a fun collaboration with one of my favorite Portland area Models -Alexandra Hagel.

Simpler Images Photography captured some beautiful shots. The early sunrise, fog and the cool colors provided a beautiful backdrop to this ethereal look.

The lace gown was a perfect way to accessorize this boho styled look.

I used the last of the season’s purple dahlias, paired with berries, garden roses, succulents, seedum and silver dollar eucalyptus, accented with a soft flowy ribbon.

Portland Spring Couples Shoot with Spotted Stills Photography

Amy and Ryan looked amazing on their spring couples shoot with Spotted Stills Photography.

I absolutely loved created this ranunculus floral crown. Although I design a lot of floral crowns {aka head wreath, halo} this one tops the list of my all time favorites. Luxurious Italian Ranunculus, roses, jasmine vine and texture in blush, white and green compliments this dusty mauve dress very well.

Trend Alert: Floral Hoop wreath bouquet-non traditional alternative

Boho trend continues on into decor and weddings are no exception. I love the more soft and elegant side of boho.

I created this floral hoop wreath bouquet to showcase a fun yet elegant alternative to a traditional bouquet. This past summer we had the opportunity to create several more hoop style bouquets for both bridesmaids as well as flower girls.

Many thanks to Whitney for being such a wonderful hair and make up artist as well as model. Whitney is the owner of Make up by Whit here is Portland. If you are looking for hair and make up services -look no further. I have had the opportunity to work with her on many occasions.
