I'm a big fan of the Green Wedding Shoes blog, and I really like the wedding spotlight they do each month. I just got back home to California (!!!) yesterday, and as a last homage to the last four years in Oregon I thought I'd share this month's GWS wedding spotlight: Portland.
The Sarah Seven store showcases the designer's entire collection, but If you're looking for a little more variety, you may be interested in The English Department. The English Department carries a select few designers, including the owner Elizabeth Dye's collection, and Twigs & Honey, where you can find elegant hairpieces. For the groom, check out Duchess Clothier.
GWS recommends the creative team at Punch Floral Design for amazing arrangements.
Portland has some amazing photographers to choose from, including Blue Window Creative, Brandon Witzel and Kelty of Steep Street. Steep Street also provides invitation design.
Hotel Deluxe is a glam downtown hotel close to the Pearl District and Nob Hill. This gorgeous venue is a contemporary tribute to the Golden Era of Hollywood, with a rooftop location and amazing city views. If you are looking for a more rustic and outdoorsy venue, Camp Lane Park, located just outside of Portland, is a unique and pretty option.
Portland has an endless supply of catering possibilities, as it is home to some of the culinary greats. GWS recommends Vibrant Table, or mixing it up with of of the Portland Food Carts, like Koi Fusion, to cater your wedding.
I hope this is a good start for anyone planning a wedding in Portland. If you have any other great PDX venues or vendors, send them my way! Happy planning!
