Years before meeting her husband, Amanda Tuttle had happened upon Oaks Pioneer Church in Portland and knew immediately it was the place she was one day meant to say “I do.” Fast-forward a few years and her premonition came true as she tied the knot with Bryant Felton in a loving affair that put friends and family at the heart of the celebration. Amanda and Bryant love Portland’s breweries, their loved ones and, of course, their two beloved dogs—all of which were on full display during their nuptials. The couple worked with Jodi Iverson of Jodi Iverson Florals to craft vibrant displays of yellow, tangerine and white blooms that complemented the bold accents of the midcentury-modern-inspired design. Working with Alston Mayger Events, Amanda and Bryant curated a palette of warm Pacific Northwest greens, ivory and copper. The reception took place at The Evergreen, which just so happens to be located above Loyal Legion Beer Hall, one of the couple’s favorites. When envisioning the food for the event, Amanda and Bryant didn’t want to give guests “normal” wedding fare. Instead, they went through several rounds of tastings in order to create the perfect palate-pleasing menu. When all was said and done, family was the ultimate focus of the night. In honor of Amanda’s late father, the couple had their first dance to a song he had composed, bringing his presence into the room for all to sense and appreciate.
