We both love wine and really enjoy going wine tasting with family and friends. Since several of our guests were coming from all areas around the country, we wanted to find a location that would showcase what the Pacific Northwest had to offer. We stumbled upon Gorge Crest Vineyards on our quest to find a new and different wedding venue. The vineyard featured a barn with a room perfect for dinner, a courtyard perfect for cocktails and dancing, and a stunning view of Mt. Hood that was perfect for the ceremony. A pear orchard lines the long driveway up to the property, an unexpected natural element that we ended up incorporating into our décor.
The ceremony was especially personal to both of us. In 2005, we both experienced the loss of Kyle’s dad to melanoma about a year after we started dating. Then again, in 2007, we lost my grandfather to lung cancer. Both were a huge part of our lives. One of Kyle’s dad’s best friends, also a Pastor at their family church, performed our ceremony and incorporated both of their memories into his remarks.

Love the wine table markers! This wedding is a dream :)
This wedding is simple but in the most stunning way! Bravo!!
Wow, this wedding is very similar to what I'm planning for mine! Can you tell me where you made the wine bottle labels?
Thanks,
Barbara
absolutely stunning. i love the wine labels!
i love the wine labels too
Would love to know where the ties came from!?
So lovely! Love the flowers and her dress are so beautiful!
I love how sweet and understated this is! And I also love the hammock.
I love the idea of using wine corks for your escort card holders, especially in conjunction with the wine bottle table numbers! How did you achieve such a smooth flat edge on the cork?
I am planning to use wine bottles as table numbers too and have been searching for labels like that! I would love to know where/how they were done!
WOW! I love the white's in this wedding!! :D I want to use lots of white's and lace for mine!
The wine labels were designed by my stationer, Stacy Dutton (www.stacydutton.com). She printed them onto regular Avery labels and we attached them to each bottle. To get the original wine labels off of the bottles, we had to soak them in hot water and Avery dish soap for 30 min. After washing them off and letting them cool, we attached the labels. It was a bit of a process but really worth it in the end.
The ties are Tommy Hilfiger - purchased at Macy’s.
I actually purchased the wine corks from Deidre at Corkey Creations. Her products are featured on Etsy (seller name: corkeycreations). We collect wine corks and I wanted to use the ones that we had collected, but after a bad mishap with a knife and the ER (I still have a scar), we decided to purchase them. :)
Beautiful wedding, but the hammock takes the cake :)
I echo the Bride! Creating your own cork place card holders can be really dangerous and not worth it!
Lots of etsy shops sell premade cork holders at very affordable prices :)
Ladies,
I made my own wine cork escort card holders. I had the winery where we are having the wedding donate them and my dad sanded them down and used a saw to cut the slits for the cards. SANDING is the key as corks don't cut well...
