Tracy, better known as “Ace” to her friends and family, & Evan were married on a glorious summer day of August 2019. House on Metolius was their wedding venue, which features epic views of the Cascade mountain range and provides a private, elevated vibe. 

Their hand-crafted welcome sign mimicked a national forest sign and was the perfect way to welcome all their guests to their hidden oasis for the weekend. The ladies kicked off the day with hair by Gold and Arrow Salon and makeup by Kaelin McDowell Beauty at one of the on-site adorable vintage cabins. The bridesmaids were dressed in mixed designs, sage green dresses. Ace wore a flowy, lace dress, and her beautiful brunette locks were adorned with a eucalyptus floral crown created by Woodland Floral Design. Evan and his groomsmen wore navy blue suits with floral ties. 

The ceremony set included an octagon-shaped wooden arbor with fresh eucalyptus, a view of the crystal blue Metolius river, snowy mountain peaks, and white garden chairs. As Ace’s father began to escort his daughter to the aisle, he stopped and had a “proud-dad” moment. He took a selfie with the stunning bride and all their guests prior to walking her the rest of the way to her husband-to-be; this cracked all the guests up and they struck a pose for his unplanned group selfie. Victoria Carlson Photography captured this moment flawlessly and provided her phenomenal photography services throughout the celebration. After exchanging their handwritten vows to each other, Ace & Evan smooched, and then that is when the party started!

After enjoying more photos and cocktail hour, the guests were invited to dine al fresco with a delicious dinner provided by Bleu Bite Catering. The reception tables were set with sea foam linen napkins, hand-cut wooden drink coasters and centerpiece risers, and fresh floral arrangements. Each guest seat featured a future note for the couple, which had “Love Libs”, well wishes and predictions for the guests to fill out. The evening was topped off dancing the night away with a live band and Sisters Bakery donuts on a wall! 

We were thrilled to provide our Day-Of coordination package for Ace & Evan to ensure all the details were taken care of and to allow for them to truly enjoy themselves on their special day of celebrating their love.
