From Rebekah of A & B Creative… The design of this inspiration came from a love of Oregon winters. A downside to Northwest winters are that they’re often very wet, however the lush colors and beauty that can still be seen in the winter are because of all that rain. A winter in Oregon is one that’s filled with fir trees, chilly air and lots of firewood to keep warm. A & B Creative splits our time between Oregon and Northern California, so I often find myself having a tug of war with my native Oregon and the sun that seems to often be missing from my home state. This shoot is a tribute to love in my homeland. Both the bride and groom wear vintage Pendleton (a classic Oregon company) and are layered in wool, and the couple can be seen among native Northwest pines and firs, and the wood, deer elements and pinecone accents all culminate to show what love in an Oregon winter looks like.
The cake is a wintry blue with chocolate drippings topped with pine cone rosettes. The dessert table features seasonal sweet treats like red velvet hot cocoa, egg nog-covered almonds, chocolate moose, snowy powdered doughnuts, peppermint bark and rich chocolate mini cupcakes from vintage serving ware with fun details like the small vintage plaid suitcase. The main table is one of our farm tables made from reclaimed Oregon barnwood with a colorful red and white vintage textile as the tablecloth. The centerpiece is made up of a wintry silver leaf garland, vintage serving pieces, antlers and other vintage deer decor with bright pops of color from the pomegranates and red Bartlett pears. A seasonal brew and champagne is available to warm guests. Vintage reindeer figurines act as place cards atop vintage plates with rustic French flatware. I designed the bride’s wintry bouquet with rose hips, millet, hypericum berries, caspia and balsa wood flowers. While most of the design elements in our shoot evoke a timeless feel, there are also fun details like the marshmallow snowy curtain I made to juxtapose the classic designs. This shoot is all that a winter wedding is about; textures of winter: wool blankets, coats and sweaters, smells of peppermint and pine, incorporating elements from nature and keeping warm by holding the one you love close.

The juxtaposition of colors is exquisite.
It's called Coelho Estate Vineyard and Coelho Winery, two seperate entities. The photos were taken at the estate vineyard property. Coelho is spelled incorrectly.
Thank you,

Fantastic! The beauty is in the details! Such a gorgeous couple as well. Thanks for sharing another great shoot from Erich and A&B!
I'm glad I just ate earlier, or I'd be pretty upset that these are just photos of amazing desserts and not the real things, in front of me where they can go in my face. But concerning the styling and beauty, good freakin' work. I've been to hundreds of weddings and think I've seen about four that look this good.
Utterly beautiful! The details on this shoot are amazing!!
What an amazing wedding shoot! The bride is gorgeous and the styling is amazing! I love the image of the little girl!!

Ahhh, so pretty! Such great ideas for a winter wedding!
Such a fun photo shoot! :) The bride looks so sweet!
Delightful design and photography. Beautiful!
Amazing use of colors, design, and the models are perfect! I recently saw a layout for a similar season in Town and Country Magazine...this one has it beat by a very long mile! Not only do you have original ideas, you have blended them all beautifully! I want to be invited to the next party!!
Such a unique, beautiful wedding! I love the marshmallows; what a great idea!
