Day started off fairly slow with only a few people rolling in then the coordinator arrived and the action began. Red overlays were placed over BeckenRidge's white linens. Then the white plates, silverware, mirror tiles (rented from BeckenRidge) water goblets, floating candles and the floral centerpiece done by Denice from Distinctive Designs www.distinctivedesigns.com where placed next on the tables.
Denice put together the floral arrangement on the arch and the end chairs lining the aisle for the ceremony. The room was stunning in the contrast of red and white. All the groomsmen jumped in and helped Erin the coordinator of the day set the tables. After assisting her they were dismissed to the Belvedere Room to enjoy their refreshments and start getting ready.
Alyssa Jul www.alyssajul.com and her husband Cory were photographing all the moments throughout the day and those that occurred in the Belvedere room (hope to see some of those great pictures soon). They also brought with them a photo booth along with some great accessories that people could use while taking pictures (ie hats or a feather scarf). Photo booths are always fun and fun to see the pictures that come from it.
Pictures were taken all over and with the cloud cover the red bridesmaid dresses really popped against the greenery of the lawn and vineyard.
Outside you could every once in awhile catch a little whiff of Mike's cooking from Abagail's BBQ 503-434-2179, oh boy did it make you hungry. With having the ceremony on the patio and every last inch of space was used inside for guest seating, we had to place the buffet on the covered patio after the ceremony. Leading us to a really quick transition from the ceremony, the groomsmen helped BeckenRidge staff remove the chairs after the ceremony and then place the buffet outside.
Guests still entered through the North patio the bride and groom decided to rent the 10x10 tent to cover the gift table and guest sign in book. Doing this left enough room for all the guests to seat under the covered patio.
For the ceremony the baby grand was used by Kim Ralph from Dancing Penguin www.adancingpenguin.com and afterwords he turned into the DJ for the evening (great combo).
The dance floor was well used as was the patio for additional pictures and just to hang out.
