When it comes to timeless romance and modern sophistication, few venues compare to Waverley Country Club in Portland, Oregon. Nestled along the banks of the Willamette River, it’s a venue that perfectly balances classic architecture with lush, picturesque grounds, and Andréa and Julian’s wedding with Bridal Bliss showcased everything that makes it so special.

Andréa and Julian exchanged vows on the sweeping lawn overlooking the water; an iconic backdrop for a Waverley Country Club ceremony. The scene was effortlessly elegant: gentle summer light, soft florals in muted tones, and the tranquil reflection of the river setting the tone for a heartfelt and beautifully personal ceremony. Throughout the celebration, Andréa and Julian infused meaning into every design choice. From custom stationery and curated tablescapes to their modern-meets-romantic color palette, their wedding was a reflection of refined taste and genuine emotion. The day felt cohesive and intentional; each element contributing to an atmosphere of warmth and understated luxury.

A few of my favorite details were the “Sex and the City” inspired wedding cake and an incredible hanging floral installation over the dance floor, which brought movement and depth to the space. The couple also honored Julian’s Persian heritage with a Sofreh; an added touch that was equal parts meaningful and beautiful. As the sun set and speeches concluded, the night sky was lit up with a spectacular fireworks display over the river. It was an unforgettable finale to a day filled with joy and meaning. Thank you for choosing me for your wedding day, Julian & Andréa!
