Mt Tabor Ceremony + The Evergreen Wedding Reception, Portland, Oregon Wedding Florist

Caitlin + Paul | Mt. Tabor + The Evergreen Wedding

It’s no secret that you are never *truly* safe from the threat of rain when having your wedding in Oregon.

Caitlin and Paul were married last September (my husband and I now share a wedding anniversary with these two!) on a very wet, stormy Portland day. These two live right at the base of Mt. Tabor park and decided that this beautiful wooded area would be the perfect place to say “I do.” Despite the steady rain that day, Caitlin and Paul went forward with their original plans. Their family and friends were all great sports about the weather, and I think the gloomy conditions created some of the most beautiful imagery I’ve ever seen.

The reception was held indoors at a newer venue in Portland, The Evergreen. This space is clean, modern, and hip. It really is a blank canvas, making my job as a wedding florist much more fun!

Caitlin wanted a classic white and green palette and our signature lush, organic style.  I chose to create with many seasonal flowers such as dahlias, snowberry, autumn clematis, ferns, and lysmachia.

Ok, seriously, how cute is this bride with her sweet pup?!

I loved Caitlin’s bouquet. A classic palette with Northwest flair. Her bouquet included dahlias, snowberry, garden roses, ranunculus, ferns, anemone, lysmachia, and autumn clematis.

Portraits in the rain. So romantic!
