A Light and Airy Oregon Wedding
I first spotted this wedding on Olivet, and immediately contacted the photographer and the bride to hear all about it. You may have seen bits and pieces from their wedding, but it’s so fun and creative that I asked Midori to share it with us today. If you like what you’ve seen so far, wait till you hear about their details…their wedding is chock full of amazing DIY projects, including the bridesmaids gorgeous gray dresses. Not to mention her wedding dress which was inspired by Dior’s 2007 Origami Collection and handmade by a local artist. In another words, taffeta and “poofy” never looked so good in a wedding.
Midori made her bolero and hair flower! I died and went to DIY wedding heaven.
Heard about the venue from a friend about a magical place called Hornings Hideout. Family owned land. Chose the location for it was close enough in proximity to Portland for family and friends from near and far to join us for the event as well as it’s outdoor scenery that encompasses Oregon for its beauty. Upon driving in, it’s wooded. Driving down into a canyon, it opens up to fields of peacocks and a large lake. We also chose the location for its activities – paddle boat rides and fishing for guests, hikes and camping.
Midori listed some of her DIY projects: logo and invitation in fold out map style; green silk bow ties and ties for the groom and groomsmen ; bridesmaids dresses; big paper flower pom pom decorations; picnic blankets; event board and menu board; collection of classic and contemporary china and silverware; collection of mason jars in various sizes used as flower vases and cups (logo stamped and attached to cups and giveaway paper fans airbrushed with designs.
Their wedding flowers consisted of locally grown dahlias and other in season blooms.
Any advice for brides planning their weddings now? Let loose and enjoy the ride! Prepare for anything. And only chew what you can handle. We were overloaded with DIY projects.
