Ecotrust, Portland, OR
Styled Wedding Shoot
This industrial rooftop wedding was defined by effortless elegance. Every element of the design for this sleek rooftop ceremony reflected the couple’s modern, sophisticated style. Set above the city skyline, we wanted to create a design that celebrated the bold height of this wedding location, a modern wedding design that incorporates the tall, sleek lines of the city.
Instead of diminishing the striking city skyline, we wanted our design to really capture the experience of a place; being part of the city’s heartbeat, recalling the feeling of watching the sun spill over the rooftop as you say your vows, it’s so significant. And by creating a design that augments the dynamic height of an urban rooftop wedding and frames the city, we designed a unique venue that is so much richer and bolder in the memories of our couple’s wedding day.
To create a sophisticated rooftop celebration that really captures the feeling of a trendy, chic city wedding, we honed in on the details. We designed and built a custom arch, knowing that we needed to create an original piece to frame the city backdrop. At Mae&Co, we specialize in being able to bring custom backdrops from concept to creation. The arch where you say your vows frames an everlasting moment, and we bring value to our couple’s by incorporating structures and elements that reflect the couple’s style. And for this modern rooftop wedding, we knew we wanted to create a custom frame with strong, architectural lines that would create a timeless, high fashion feel.
While our custom arch may be the biggest part of our design, we made sure every detail captured the opulent feel of this wedding. The custom invitation suite by State of Reverie features modern, elegant typography and the muted tones match the sophisticated feel of this elegant event.
The lush tablescape design incorporates tall floral installations by Good Seed Floral, creating a dynamic shape that plays in conversation with the rooftop terrace views. Touches of gold flatware, smoke glassware, and cream florals create a timeless, elegant feel. And the modern lines of the centerpieces and tablescape chargers elevate the design to blend perfectly with this unique, urban space in NW Portland’s charming Pearl District.
Every detail worked in harmony, as cascading blooms intertwined with brushed metals and soft fabrics fell gently on modern table settings - mirroring the way the bride’s soft pink veil swirled around her modern, structural gown on the top of this rooftop wedding venue. And when the couple descended to the city’s core, the sophisticated setting on this modern rooftop lingered.
