International Oregon Wedding at Youngberg Hill Vineyards and Inn

A man from England met a woman from America while hiking in Scotland. They fell in love and decided to get married in a gorgeous, travel-themed Oregon wedding. She wore white, and he wore a kilt. Lauren Brooks was there to document the special nuptials, which Blush Bridal Consultation Group had planned and executed to a T. Sounds like a fairytale, right? This wedding is chock-full with oodles of our favorite kinds of details – sweet, meaningful, and unique. And there are even more of those noteworthy details over at Lauren’s blog, so journey over there next!

We wanted a casually elegant wedding that incorporated elements from Charles’ Scottish heritage, including a bagpiper, a handfasting ceremony during the wedding ceremony and a sip from the MacGregor quaich to seal the marriage. Sandy Shipley, our officiant, was very accommodating to all our requests. We went with the travel motif because not only did our relationship span the globe, but so did our guest list. Compasses, globes, postcards and maps were a few of our favorite details.

We felt so blessed to have perfect weather, friends from all over the world there with us, and wonderful vendors that worked seamlessly behind the scenes to create a truly magical day for us. I relied so heavily on my wedding planner, Amy of Blush Bridal. She was like a member of my family after all was said and done. She helped us create our dream wedding by listening to us tell our stories and weaving it all together into our special weekend.

I didn’t want to take away from the beautiful vineyard and venue so I opted for a natural palate of greens, browns and creams with the pop of purple. Our amazing florist, Adria from Lavish Floral, did a great job of incorporating my eclectic floral wish list into the understated elegance of the ceremony and reception. I was able to take several hydrangeas and rose bushes home and plant them in our yard as another way to remember our wedding day. And remember it, I always will!

   The beautiful weather on the day had been preceded by weeks of incessant but not unexpected Oregon rainfall that simply cleared away and revealed the stunning softly rolling hills of the Willamette valley with the Cascade Mountains in the distance, not entirely unlike my home ground in Scotland. A special thanks from me to Amy Nuttman and Lauren Brooks, and of course to my beautiful wife. It could not have been more perfect.
   Regards,
   the Groom

   Beautifully and tastefully done. I am also a mature bride and getting married in a couple days. I am thrilled to see that another couple my age went all out to create their picture-perfect and personalized day. You can be a bride (well) over 25 and still feel the excitement of a new and perfect love! Cheers to you both. May your lives together be long and full of happy chapters...
