A Backyard Wedding With The Bride In Blue – Curtis & Bailie

 “We wanted the entire wedding to really focus on the fact that our relationship existed with the constant nourishment of our family and friends”

Firstly, Bailie is in a gorgeous blue Betsey Johnson dress. Secondly, Curtis is wearing chequered Vans. Thirdly, these gorgeous photos were taken by One O.A.K Photography! What else is there that can make this wedding more awesome? Their reception took place on the roof of the Lincoln Centre!

My husband, Curtis and I met when he tattooed me.  After spending numerous hours together, we found out that we had a lot in common.  We ended up running into one another every single night for two weeks straight after that, so I guess our relationship just naturally formed from that.

The highlight of our wedding day was riding a borrowed tandem bicycle with my husband from our home to the reception in my wedding dress. It was a special time that we were able to enjoy as a couple before being surrounded by everyone again, and was a funny sight to see I’m sure.

“We kept things true to who we were… From the decorations to the custom invitation to the vegan food, it was all things we loved.”

The morning before the wedding, my husband and I decorated the yard and house with different items I had made using vintage ribbons, tablecloths and antiques of my grandmothers as well as lots of paper and flower bunting. I had the most fun setting up oversized paper flowers around the backyard…it looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

This little kitty is Sir Stuffington, who looks like a pirate. The reason he looks like a pirate is because he has a jaw fracture and has been left with only one eye. He was cleaned up by the Multnomah County Animal Services and treated while the two brothers that he was found with were also given care. You can read the full story here and check our more pictures on his own Facebook page!
