in serynna and erica’s case, they scouted out wahclella falls and thought it’d be the perfect outdoor elopement location for their spring wedding. taking several wedding photos in front of the rushing river, on bridges and boulders, and even in front of a waterfall, the diversity of the falls’ wedding backdrops was truly stunning.

sleek satin wedding dress for forest elopement
serynna discovered our vagabond bridal collection at a&bé portland during her bridal appointment. originally wanting a wedding dress with tulle and detail, serynna surprised herself when trying on ‘aquarius’ by vagabond.
this crisp a-line wedding dress had the perfect mixture of modern and traditional details. the thin spaghetti straps felt on-trend, while the gown's wide waistband and dramatic skirt were classical in style.
styling her wedding dress with layered gold necklaces, serynna’s bridal look was both timeless and on-trend. wearing her hair down in loose curls, we loved serynna’s relaxed bridal look and how much her satin wedding dress stood out among their forest backdrop.
post-ceremony wedding dinner and pizza party
after saying ‘i do’ everyone gathered to celebrate the newlyweds on a cozy backyard patio. sitting at a long farm table with greenery fabric as their table runner and taper candles with brass holders, their wedding tablescape had the same colors as the forest.
bunches of baby’s breath decorated each vintage glass and their golden flatware was tied together with a silk, forest green bow. simple and chic, their green and white wedding colors added to their moody neutral color palette.
ending the evening eating slices of pizza with their closest loved ones, serynna and erica’s wahclella falls wedding was a dream come true. .
