Romantic Summer Wedding at The Orchard in Hood River

Nicole and Kevin’s wedding was a masterclass in style, heart, and thoughtfulness. Every detail—big and small—was carefully considered, ensuring that not only was the event visually stunning, but that each guest felt welcomed and cherished.
Set against breathtaking views of Mt. Hood, their design blended the lush beauty of the Pacific Northwest with romantic garden florals and modern architectural elements. A dreamy palette with touches of lavender, cranberry, mustard, black, and blush to compliment the seasonal flowers and produce, while nods to their Chinese heritage added depth and meaning. Nicole, an illustrator, infused whimsical hand-drawn details throughout, from custom signage to a charming newspaper filled with fun surprises for guests.
The weekend was filled with unforgettable touches: a bubble tea welcome bar, a photo booth bus, a dance floor lit by glowing Chinese lanterns, and a soundtrack blending live music, karaoke, and Chinese pop hits. Their beloved dog, Panda, had a starring role as ring bearer, even appearing in custom illustrations throughout the event.
With heartfelt surprises, stunning scenery, and a deep sense of joy, Nicole and Kevin’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love—warm, inviting, and beautifully unique.
