Take the Leap: Eclectic Outdoor Fête at Cedar Blooms Ends in Spontaneous Night Swim

College sweethearts Amy Villella and Hans Reitan met while attending school in Wisconsin, and after graduation, they made Portland their new home. For their wedding celebration, they knew a camping wedding was a must, and they chose one of their favorite spots, Cedar Bloom—named by Hipcamp as the number-one campground in Oregon in 2023—for just that reason. The popular area provided an intimate setting together with dreamy vistas for the outdoor festivities. The design scheme centered around a jewel-toned palette, accenting the venue’s natural beauty, while the floral design incorporated shades of yellow, ruby red, white and pink. Committed to sustainability, the couple chose 100% organic and locally sourced florals from southern Oregon and used pine cones for their table-number holders, with each table also named after a place the couple has adventured to over the years. Amy wore a charming V-neck lace dress, while her bridesmaids donned earthy and floral-colored dresses of various styles. After the reception, Amy and Hans spontaneously jumped into the river in their full wedding attire, along with 50 of their guests, to top off the exhilarating day, making for one unforgettable moment.
