Happily Ever After: Rachel & Chris' Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast Wedding

January 09, 2014 by Ara R. in Weddings

On the last Saturday in September, Rachel & Chris were married the Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast in Hood River, Oregon. The weather was perfect for a late summer day–warm with a stunning blue sky and light breeze. They both got ready in beautiful houses in Hood River, joining up for the first look before we all headed up to the bed & breakfast. This is easily one of our favorite wedding venues in Oregon, with so many atmospheric corners and a ceremony site dominated by Mount Hood.

Bloomsberry Floral did an incredible job with the arbor/Chuppah above the ceremony, the table settings and all the glorious bouquets. We loved the startling oranges–perfect for the golden afternoon and tall gold grasses surrounding us. Rachel’s gown, a corset-backed Blue by Enzoani number, looked amazing with her auburn curls.

Dinner, toasts and dancing took place outside under a sapphire sky and full moon. The stars glowed so brightly. Chris sang with their band, surprising us all with a fabulous voice.

Congratulations, Rachel & Chris! What an unforgettable day!
