This Portland wedding, coordinated by Soirée Special Event Planning, blended the Indian and American cultures of the bride and groom for a beautiful outdoor September wedding held at the bride’s parents’ home.

WCEP provided the rentals, including our Fire Orange Pintuck Linens for the cocktail tables, Turquoise Shantung Linens for the dining tables, Orange Gilded Votive Holders, and Hanging Moroccan Lanterns that provided a centerpiece for the Clear Top Tent.

Thanks to Altura Studios for sharing their beautiful images of the wedding. Click here to view more images.
