Elizabeth and Matt’s Misty Bridal Veil Lakes Wedding

Nestled in the heart of Oregon's lush greenery, Elizabeth and Matt's October wedding at Bridal Veil Lakes was a dreamy affair wrapped in mist and magic. The morning mist added an extra layer of enchantment to the surroundings, giving their outdoor celebration a fairytale vibe. But here's the best part – the rain cleared just in time for the ceremony, making it all the more mystical!

Their day wouldn't have been possible without the incredible coordination of Weddings By Elise. Elise's attention to detail and passion for creating unforgettable experiences ensured that every aspect of Elizabeth and Matt's wedding went off without a hitch. From coordinating vendors to managing the timeline, she was a true lifesaver, allowing the couple to relax and soak in every moment of their special day.

Before the big "I do," Elizabeth and Matt opted for a private moment to exchange vows during their first look. Talk about setting the mood! It was an intimate sneak peek into their love story, setting the tone for the day ahead. I always keep about 20 clear umbrellas in my car during wedding season, so we had those available while it was drizzling during their first look.

Their celebration continued with a whimsical cocktail hour nestled in the woodlands area, where guests were invited to wander amidst the towering trees and soak in the serene beauty of Bridal Veil Lakes. With glasses clinking and laughter echoing through the forest, loved ones strolled along the tranquil lakeside, taking in the breathtaking vista of rolling hills and mist-kissed waters. It was a moment of pure magic, where nature's splendor provided the perfect backdrop for heartfelt conversations and cherished memories to be made.

Now, let's talk more about details! Instead of boring old escort cards, guests were greeted with individual bells – how cute is that? Each bell, decked out with ribbons and personalized tags, symbolized unity and harmony, ringing in the joy of their union.

But what really stole the show? The film photography and Polaroids, of course! Elizabeth and Matt wanted to capture every magical moment in the most whimsical way possible. From candid snapshots to dreamy portraits, each frame told a story, preserving their fairytale day for years to come.
