Boy do I love Hood River. It’s an idyllic place for weddings. The scenery is classic Oregon with beautiful mountains, gardens, and water. If you have a summer wedding in Hood River, you’ll get the brightest blue skies that make the entire day look like a painting. It’s beyond dreamy and it’s exactly what we got for this June event at The Orchard in Hood River.
Looking through these photos has me scrambling to come up with a favorite element from Amanda and Ray’s day. I honestly don’t think I could pick just one. So many things made this day special and unique. Personal touches and thoughtful planning made this day next level amazing. You’ve got bold color, live music, flamingo party favors, and the couples’ favorite dessert brought in from out of state.
The Dress(es)
Let’s start with Amanda. SHE WORE A PINK WEDDING DRESS! Not to mention, she had three different outfit changes throughout the day. She started in a sleek and simple white dress, changed into her pink chiffon wedding gown, and then ended the night in fringe and sparkles. Absolutely iconic.
The Vibes for this wedding at The Orchard
This couple is FUN. They both share a great sense of humor and a knack for entertaining. Ray started the day at an epic Airbnb in downtown Hood River. There was whiskey, scenic views, and a competitive game of dominoes. The table was littered with snacks (think gushers) and the music set the scene for the party that laid ahead. The perfect prelude to a fun filled wedding at The Orchard in Hood River.
Wedding Color Palette
A summer wedding in Oregon calls for playful colors and blooms. Especially when you’re at a venue like The Orchard where fresh flowers abound. Amanda and Ray opted for vibrant pinks and oranges and blues. As soon as I walked in and saw the flowers, I melted. My favorite wedding designs feature vivid florals like the ones featured below.
