Juniper Preserve lies tucked in a juniper forest with expansive views of the Cascade Mountains, luxurious amenities and elevated experiences—where no detail is overlooked, every crevice is photogenic and exquisite service reigns. And for a wedding, it is that and beyond. Juniper Preserve offers a stunning array of indoor and outdoor venues, endless entertainment for guests and so much more to make hosting your nearest and dearest memorable and effortless. Perhaps the coolest part of the property is its ancient lava cave, a one-of-a-kind backdrop to exchange vows, which served as the inspiration for a lovely design by Ponderosa Planning.

A demure color palette of white, cream, light pink, green and soft blue played with the natural surroundings, and outstanding floral installations from Summer Robbins Flowers stole the show. “Summer Robbins was the perfect fit to bring epic architectural beauty to this editorial shoot,” says the Ponderosa Planning team. “The 'partners in glam' Kate Hana Artistry and The Garrison Collective always bring a positive presence. All the vendors involved in this shoot are experts in their field and meet our high standards for our couples, so by focusing on logistics and big picture design, we give them space to shine!"

Inspired by Juniper Preserve’s NATURAL cave, we designed this shoot to lean into Central Oregon's natural tones and TEXTURES.

We wanted to showcase how to reinvent SOFT neutrals with dreamy florals, soft linens and subtle textures that bring DECADENCE and elegance to a rugged backdrop.

An intimate reception table was light and airy, juxtaposing against the dark rock of the cave. Light blue stoneware, soft blush linens and wild florals made this a gorgeous spot to gather.

A textural masterpiece from Crumb Cakery sat among bursting branches and emulated the stone façade in the background.

Our approach to building a vendor team is to focus on our clients' PRIORITIES and let the creatives do what they do best! We feel so lucky to work alongside INCREDIBLE artists and professionals in their craft.
