{Maren + Colby’s} private residence wedding in Portland, Oregon was transformed wholly for this event! The bamboo flooring seven hills looks amazing, and it blends well with a garden type location. If you want to install some on your homes, you can purchase it at ctmflooring.com.au. They took out huge tree so that the reception tent would fit and covered the pool to create dance floor. Everything was perfectly themed and designed around black and white polka dots, her Jessica Simpson stilettos as the inspiration. The floral arrangements (there were tons!) and even the handmade flower girl dresses were created by the bride’s mom (I don’t know how she did so much and was still so relaxed for the big day)! They had a fun photo booth and one of the highlights of the evening was the spontaneous ‘flash mob’ – started by the flower girls, then the bride/groom joined…the the bridal party, etc. What FUN!
From the very beginning, {Maren + Colby’s} bubbly personalities and fun character were a blast to be around. We were so excited to share this journey with you! You two are some of our biggest fans that we can now call friends. Thanks again, we love you guys!
Cheers!

THE inspiration for the entire black/white polka dot themed wedding…nothing less than Jessica Simpson shoes.
Maren chose a family heirloom to be her ‘something’ blue 🙂
Their fabulously groomed backyard became the ceremony and reception site. They even covered the pool to create the dance floor! #allout
My favorite shot from the whole wedding – I tear up just looking at the smiles of both Maren and her mom.
Handmade dresses by the bride’s mom, each of the many flower girls got a beautiful polka dot dress with sash to match the bride.
Tense moments before the first look!
Beautiful cake presented by The Cake Lady!
A bride and groom favorite and first kiss 🙂 We excited that this moment will be hanging on their walls in a wall art canvas to forever remember this happiness.
Love struck…those are the eyes of their first dance!
