the Silver Creek Youth Camp at Silverfalls State Park near Salem Oregon was perfect for the joining of these two hearts. We had acres and acres and acres to your selves, our loved ones stayed the entire weekend, no one told us what we could and couldn't do and the staff who stopped by every morning to make sure we had everything we needed was very nice and respectful of our space.
Here's a few photo's of our decorations. I'll post more once I get the professional photos back =)
This door was at the end of the trail that went to the ceremony site, a large open amphitheater like setting.. "A door to a new life"
These hearts all had little love notes Levi and I wrote to each-other over the last two years and kept in a box where we could not read them until our wedding day.
My friend Becca painted this lovely tree, guests were asked to "Leaf their finger prints"
This is the dinning hall. Already equipped with tables and benches from the 1800's. I made the garland out old sheets. It turned out beautiful!
The day before the wedding my girlfriends and I picked Dahlias to fill all the antique medicine, mason, and milk jars I had collected
My sister-in-law made our cakes! White cake with butter-cream, stuffed with fresh peaches!
I ended up renting a few vintage items from Danner & Soli out of Salem. I loved the way this Victorian furniture looked out in the open field!
Our ceremony was very intimate. We laughed and had fun the entire 15-20 minutes.
Surround by old growth
There were 38 of these cute little cabins on-site for all our overnight guests
Handsomes!
The dinning hall looking in
Truman and Tucker = Best pals!
Did I mention there was a swimming pond?
All in all it was a pretty good day!
