Taylor and Kevin's Oregon Coast Intimate Wedding/Elopement

Taylor and Kevin came here from Oklahoma to get married at the Oregon Coast. This was a special location to both of them, since this is where they got engaged.

Taylor wanted a lush, organic, free form bridal bouquet featuring white flowers and lots of foliage and textures.

I created her bouquet to include peonies, spray roses, ferns, seeded eucalyptus, blushing bride protea, lysimachia, olive branches, ruscus, camelia foliage, calycina and oregon grown blackberries for that added texture.

What Taylor had to say:

"Lora is incredible. I could not have dreamed of more beautiful flowers to make my wedding day feel so incredibly magical. I had a destination wedding on the Oregon coast, and many of my details about where I needed the flowers and what time I needed them changed several times throughout the planning process. Lora was always so quick to respond and to accommodate whatever changes I needed to make. She was so helpful, so sweet, and seriously could not be more talented. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! "

Mary and Alejo Oregon Wine Country Wedding

I am finally getting around to blogging this gorgeous wedding captured by Kari Renee Photography.

Mary and Alejo got married at the beautiful Methven Family Vineyard in the Oregon Wine Country. There is something about working out in the wine country that I really enjoy. The rolling hills and the casual relaxing atmosphere is everything.

Mary's wedding flowers featured mostly locally grown blooms including dahlia, scabiosa, nigella, lady mantle, seeded eucalyptus, mini green hydrangea, lisianthus, succulents, dusty miller, roses and larkspur.

Venue: Methven Family Vineyards

Lacey + David {Bohemian Portland Backyard Wedding}

Lacey was the sweetest and most laid back bride ever. The overall wedding was very casual and understated. She wanted a bouquet of wildflowers and a dainty floral crown to match.

I really enjoyed designing flowers for Lacey and David's wedding at their Portland home. 

Bridal bouquet consisted of all locally grown/American grown flowers including: Dahlias, nigella blooms and pods, seeded eucalyptus, craspedia, fewer few daisies, olive branch, scabiosa, gooseneck, thistle, snapdragon, yarrow and queen annes lace.

Winter- Valentine's Day Editorial Shoot

This beautiful editorial shoot took place during the craziest snow/ice storm here in the Portland metro area. It was extremely cold and snow was everywhere. 

The wonderful team of talented wedding professionals made it happen.

My favorite little surprise was the sweet baby pig named "Matilda" who took part in our shoot.

She was quite fond of the bridal bouquet and kept smelling and trying to eat it. Must have been those fragrant pepper berries.

Photo Shoot with Erica Ann Photography and Village Ballroom

I can't say no when one of my favorite photographers asks me to collaborate on a photo shoot.

This was one of my all time favorite shoots. I got the full creative freedom to design and style all the floral and decor elements.

The overall look and feel was rustic -elegance with a large emphasis on garden style.

Enjoy!

Katie + Brian -The Resort at the Mountain Wedding

Katie and Brian had the most gorgeous wedding in red "marsala" with gold and champagne accents. What a way to stay ahead of trends ;)

I really enjoyed working with all the fun textures and flowers to bring out the rustic elegance of this wedding. The Resort at the Mountain was the most perfect back drop for this event. 

I was honored that Katie totally trusted me to create her florals with just a color palette for inspiration and I took care of the rest of the details and all floral choices. 

Katie's bouquet included piano garden roses, hearts garden roses, cymbidium orchids in white and red, hypericum berries, eryngium, dahlias, scabiosa and scabiosa pods, sahara roses, caramel antike garden roses and blackberries. 

The two Flower girls carried birch cone with flowers and birch basket with petals. 

Table centerpieces were designed in our beautiful wine boxes. 

Here is what Katie has to say about her experience:

"I highly recommend Sophisticated Floral for any event! With the unique designs and creativity they are the perfect addition to make your day that much better. SFD executed my vision for flowers and went above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed up!" ~Katie
