A culmination of a years-long relationship built on deep friendship, shared values and genuine connection, Emalee and Josh’s colorful wedding day at Youngberg Hill Inn & Winery was a direct reflection of the pair’s laid-back nature and true love for their community. Aiming for a celebration that wasn’t overly polished, the beauty of Oregon’s Willamette Valley provided the perfect setting for an organic, story-driven experience. Emalee’s classic A-line gown, adorned with a touch of lace, stood out against the array of summery colors and textures worn by her bridal party. The groom and groomsmen leaned into complementary tones, dressed in refined, cream-hued suits. In a unique and modern altar space, a variety of vases, each holding colorful bouquets, were scattered at different heights among rectangular podiums. After witnessing an authentic exchange of vows against the winery’s sweeping views, each guest was gifted a handwritten note of thanks that also guided them to their tables. The indoor reception was brimming with whimsical details, including pops of orange and pink florals. A linen embossed with the phrase “Just Married” was draped over the edge of the newlyweds’ sweetheart table, while the grand floral vases from the ceremony were repurposed into a one-of-a-kind backdrop. In lieu of traditional aesthetics, their mini wedding cake was decorated with orange frosting spelling out, “Go Beavs!” A tasty nod to the couple meeting at Oregon State University, bringing Emalee and Josh’s love story full circle.
