JESSICA AND KENT'S RUSTIC WEDDING
Inspired by their romantic waterfall engagement, Jessica and Kent planned a rustic orchard, mountain view wedding at Mt. View Orchards located in Mt. Hood, OR. “We wanted our guest to see some of the beautiful views we get to see all year long of Oregon and feel the amazing vibes from it” Jessica says. “The palette we chose consisted of light gray, dark blue, and blush, which are very simple and summer-esk but very elegant and stylish.” Around 100 guest joined the couple for the ceremony and reception.

The bridal party prepared for the wedding at the venue's cottage. The bride chose to wear a London ballroom gown made by Hayley Paige. "It was the first wedding dress I tried on and it made me feel so beautiful, I couldn't stop thinking about it after" Said Jessica. The bride's bolera jewelry piece from Anna's bridal and Keds X Kate Spade new york champion glitter tennis shoes had her glowing from head to toe.

The groom
The groom went with a less traditional look. His suave blue suit blended well with his earthy environment. Let's not forget his sultry, suede blue slippers that matched his suit to bring together a more personalized look.

The ceremony
The ceremony took place under the venue pavilion to shade guest from record high temps that day but also gave them a breathtaking view of Mt. Hood. "It's always a risk choosing an all outdoor venue but that is the decision we made, it's important to always have a backup plan, the pavilion was ours" says Jessica. The ceremony site didn’t need much decor—wooden chairs, and floral arrangements is all it took. After Jessica and Kent exchanged vows, guests sipped celebratory cocktails and ate as they listed to a string quartet play romantic and top 100 hits. During the couple’s tented pavillion reception, a list of their favorite songs were played. The reception was full of warm words, crazy dances originated from the couple's home state (Florida) and good music played by a DJ.
