Jewel Tones Adorn Dreamy Wedding Day Paying Homage to Oregon's Wine Region

Jacob and Maged had come from opposite ends of the country to settle in Oregon when they were introduced by a mutual friend in Eugene. (The same friend officiated at their wedding!) Jacob has worked in the Oregon wine industry for more than 10 years, and the couple now lives on their own vineyard and farm. Their relationship is rooted in a deep love of Oregon—something Jacob and Maged wanted to impart to their guests on their special day. “Living on our vineyard and working farm in McMinnville, we wanted to ensure we could share everything wine country offers with our venue, flowers and catering selection,” notes Maged of their wedding celebration. On a glorious sunny September day, as guests sat under white umbrellas, the outdoor ceremony took place surrounded by the rolling hills and greenery of the famed wine region. For cocktail hour, the charming Bee’s Knees Vintage Bar offered local pours and mixed custom cocktails, all while drag queens performed renditions of ABBA hits. The couple’s close friends Jeremi and John of Pollinate Flowers fulfilled their one and only floral request—color, color, color—with jewel tone flowers adorning the chuppah, the elaborate head table and the wearable florals adorning the grooms’ gray suits. Other iconic moments of the day included a lovely three-tiered confection decorated with real flowers mingling with buttercream “painted” blooms, peacocks strolling around the venue, and guests dancing the traditional hora.
