{Inspiration} Winter warm-up in Spokane

In continuation of the Wed4Less first birthday celebration, I get to share with you our second inspiration shoot, which was done in Spokane at the Montvale Hotel. (If you missed our first shoot from Portland, click here to check it out!)


For this shoot, we wanted to bring a little bit of joyful color into the drab winter that we've all been facing here in the Pacific Northwest. Like the Portland shoot, we also wanted to make sure to keep some very northwest elements in this one. What better than coffee for a Washington shoot?

I am so excited with how the colorful winter images, captured by Lacey LaDuke Photography, came out!




Soiree Event Design had a huge hand in making the shoot beautiful. We worked together on design concepts, and then they were a big part in making the whole thing a reality. (Jessica from Soiree even lent us her husband to act as a "groom" for a few shots.) I really couldn't have done it without them!




Dawn from Allen & Green Floral created this lovely natural bouquet for us, to which we added a few bright colored poms to keep everything bright and warm.



 


The food delights were created by Couple of Chefs Catering. They did an awesome job of keeping everything within our cheerful yellow, pink and teal color scheme. (And, let me tell you, it was all very tasty.)




This gorgeous (and, might I add, under $1000) dress was provided by Storybook Bridal in CDA, which is a great source of many low-cost bridal gowns, with most of their gowns being under $1200. The dress fit our model, Jenaye Adams, perfectly, and Jenaye had the personality to pull the whole thing off.

The jewelry was all thanks to Veda Lux, a boutique that sells unique and creative funky jewelry. The look was pulled together with hair by Heather Washburn and makeup by Shasta Hankins.


The absolutely lovely and whimsical invitations and paper goods were designed by Caili of Casala Studio. I just love how she plays with typefaces to get the funky look!

 

Blowing out the birthday candle! That's one year, my dearies!

{Inspiration} Rustic & nature-inspired in Portland

Today's the most fabulous day because I finally get to share with you our inspiration shoot in Portland that we did in celebration of Wed4Less's first birthday! (We did one in Spokane too! See that one next week!)

 

We wanted the shoot to be distinctly northwest. We took inspiration from nature, beer and rustic colors. I'm so pleased with the beautiful images from RedFred Productions and Heather Fitch Photography!


Panache Weddings & Events perfectly styled the rustic moss-covered tables with items provided by Something Borrowed {Portland}. I love how the mason jars and various bottles and vintage books all work together to make a beautiful tablescape! And the Hoyt Arboretum served as the perfect background!


Would you take a look at that sweet rustic-style cake from Dolce Cake Shop?!


The super rustic-chic menu was designed by Pacific Miles Creations.









I just love how this rustic bouquet, created by Lora of Sophisticated Floral Designs, has the muted colors classic to the rustic look, but brings in pops of oranges and purples. Absolutely perfect!

 

Our model was dressed up with the most lovely hair and makeup styling from Janelle Hayden.



And a birthday cupcake for Wed4Less's birthday! Yay!
