Libby and Sal's Portland Oregon Victorian Belle Wedding

Libby and Sal had their first look photos taken at the St John’s Bridge and then headed over to the Victorian Belle in Portland for their ceremony and reception.

I loved the blush and ivory bridesmaids bouquets against their pale blue dresses. That was a popular bridesmaids dress color for 2018.

Libby’s bouquet featured locally grown dahlias, blush lisianthus, garden roses, blush hypericum, queen annes lace and more.

Christine Dong Photography captured all the colors so beautifully.

Dream Cakes provided the gorgeous wedding cake that I had the honor of accenting with foliage and textures.

Floral Crowns are the perfect accessory for girls of all ages. 

They are so popular and I have created them for weddings, photo shoots, maternity photos, bridal showers, Birthdays, Proposals and many other special occasions. 

I have quite a few to share, so I will make several blog posts to feature crowns. This is Part 1 of 5.
