From Kat Braman Photography... The Bride and Groom met in the Bride's little farming town, Heppner, Oregon while she was home visiting her parents. The groom had just become a recent resident. It seemed that their paths crossed every time she returned home until he got the courage to ask her out on a date. It was only fitting then that the couple should pick a new venue in Eastern Washington that was surrounded by wheat and was reminiscent of the Bride's farm upbringing as well as the place it all started for them.
"We wanted a destination wedding but also wanted it to be a drive away for all our family and friends, so the wine country of Walla Walla seemed like the most natural location for us and then we found Eritage Resort and we knew we found our venue. The vineyard and intimate resort for our guests' cut out of the wheat fields of Walla Walla was a magical combination for us."
The couple embraced the natural beauty of the venue's surroundings and went with a soft and neutral color palette with warm hues to play up the golden wheat fields. The Bride wore a classic lace Monique Lhuillier while the Groom donned a custom burgundy suit with a velvet jacket. The bridesmaids wore Jenny Yoo Dresses in the color "Whipped Apricot" in the Liana, Vivienne, Inesse and Jacqueline styles. The groomsmen looked dapper in navy suits as the navy was carried out in pieces of their day-of papery.
The bouquet featured soft and feminine florals with a variety of garden roses, sweetheart spray roses, astilbe, and snapdragons. The bride's father walked her down the aisle to a lush circular arch atop a mound overlooking the surrounding landscape. After the couple officially became husband and wife, they snuck away for a moment to themselves and popped their own bottle of bubbles before joining their 250 guests. They had a family-style feast featuring a Pacific Northwest-inspired menu including slow roasted Chinook Salmon, grilled corn risotto, Culotte of Washington Wagyu. A Shigoku oyster bar was the focal point during the cocktail hour. A live band kept the energy high for the rest of the evening as guests danced under the stars.
