aine wed-dings are not all about barns
and wooded backdrops! To create “Contempoary Cool” we brought together a dream team of fantastic wedding pros to create an inspiration shoot that blends the raw historical elements of Portland’s water-front with modern and tradi-tional elements. The Portland Company was the perfect backdrop to inspire a setting for a contemporary wedding celebration. A wedding party would surely enjoy saying cheers around a table set with a mix of stylish, crafty, and textural elements. We includ-ed a decadent sweets table and a cozy place to lounge while rocking out with a cool DJ.

nitially inspired by the texture of a Swiss dot wedding dress, this
design began with a palette of robin’s egg blue, peach, and gold. Props such as gold-framed mirrors, cake stands, and plates came together with yards of pale blue and raw muslin, which were sewed into fluffy ruffles to adorn the tables. Against an heirloom estate backdrop, the gold ballroom chairs, a crystal chandelier, and crystal stemware add glamour and sophistication to the tablescape. Luscious flower arrangements and bouquets by Flora Fauna include the spring’s best picks, arranged in a mix of gold and pale blue glass containers. Custom letterpress stationery from Gus and Ruby adorned with hand-painted edges, tulle posies from Paper Posy Designs, and a ruffled tiered cake from Nothing Bakes Like a Parrott complete the look.
