COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES: BOLD COLOR PALETTES
Ditch those predictable pastels! In 2025, we're embracing bold, vibrant colors that pop, just like the vibrant hues of a Portland sunset. Think jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red – or mix and match warm and cool hues for a modern twist. Let your wedding be a canvas for your favorite colors and create a visual feast for your guests.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLOR: INSPIRATION FOR YOUR BOLD CELEBRATION
This vibrant styled shoot, orchestrated by Abernethy's own Coordination Manager, Kassandra, and the talented Jodi Iverson Florals, is a testament to the power of a bold color palette. Kawaiala and Blake, a couple with an innate sense of style who will celebrate their chic, minimalist wedding at Abernethy in 2025, brought this vision to life with their infectious energy. Cascading blooms adorn the gazebo, while captivating centerpieces featuring coral charm peonies and playful pops of orange and pink grace each table. Trellis Creative's invitation suite perfectly echoes the vibrant hues and delicate floral accents. Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate affair, let this styled shoot inspire you to embrace bold colors and create a wedding that's as unique as your love story.
SIMPLE ELEGANCE: LUXE MINIMALISM
Less is more! Luxe minimalism is the perfect blend of opulence and simplicity. Focus on high-quality materials, clean lines, and a few statement pieces that truly shine. It's all about creating an atmosphere of understated elegance that's both timeless and chic. Think of the natural beauty of the Columbia River Gorge – sometimes, the most stunning settings require minimal embellishment.
UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE: JADE & CHRISTOPHER'S MINIMALIST DREAM
Jade and Christopher, a couple with an eye for refined elegance, embraced the "less is more" mantra for their Abernethy Center celebration. Clean lines and a muted palette defined their aesthetic, from the chic stationery to the minimalist welcome sign. Kay, the floral virtuoso of Flowers For You, adorned the tent with delicate greenery and crafted breathtaking centerpieces of white blooms, a study in understated luxury. The result? A serene oasis of sophistication, where natural beauty took center stage. This, dear readers, is luxe minimalism at its finest.

Forget those cookie-cutter weddings! Here in the Pacific Northwest, we're known for our independent spirit, and your wedding should be no different. This year, it's all about infusing your big day with personalized touches that scream "you." Imagine signature cocktails named after your furry best friend, interactive food stations showcasing grandma's secret recipes, and favors with special meaning to your love story. It's all about creating an unforgettable experience for your guests – one they'll be raving about long after the last dance at your Portland wedding venue.
BARBIE, BLOOMS & BOHO VIBES: AUBREY & KEVIN SAY "I DO"
Aubrey and Kevin's Abernethy Center wedding was a masterclass in personalized style. Wildflower Portland's Chas crafted a bohemian dreamscape, weaving pampas grass, vibrant blooms, and playful touches like a golden Barbie doll into the décor. Unique centerpieces with glitter accents graced each table, while Aubrey's dried floral bouquet complemented her shimmering silver gown. Lawn games, live music, and a tarot card reader entertained guests, while Kevin's white suit added an unexpected twist.
