Rainy Start to a Romantic Chateau de Michellia Wedding Reception
When spring rain made its appearance early in the day, we began the shoot inside the Chateau de Michellia music room—a space full of character, warmth, and soft light. It set the perfect mood for the classic and refined couple portraits to come.
Elegant Attire to Match the Chateau Setting
The bride wore a sleeveless cream gown from Dalliance Gown Rental, with hair and makeup by The Wilde Flower Co. The groom opted for a black suit and bow tie, timeless and sophisticated—perfect for a small intimate wedding.
Round Wedding Table Inspiration
The reception featured a unique design, styled for an intimate guest list. Cream scalloped tableware, brass candelabras, and florals in red, green, and cream brought the design to life. WildFlower Portland added charming details like cherry tomatoes nestled among the blooms.
