A Hood River, Oregon Wedding on a Tomato Farm
Lauren & Dallas’s love for live music, Phish, and travel helped inspire their floral design direction. Eclectic, whimsical, and almost electric; the flowers were vibrant and funky for their windy and chilly summer wedding on a tomato farm.
Wedding Flowers at Killer Tomato in Hood River
If you're searching for a Hood River wedding florist, Killer Tomato is one of the most gorgeous venues I've had the opportunity to design at. Set among working farmland with incredible mountain views, it has an effortless Oregon feel that pairs beautifully with abundant seasonal flowers and natural textures.
Lauren and Dallas wanted their wedding to feel eclectic, colorful, and inspired by live music and travel. Instead of traditional white wedding flowers, we designed vibrant arrangements full of movement, unexpected color, and playful texture that complemented the relaxed atmosphere of their Hood River celebration.
As a destination wedding florist, I love creating floral designs that feel connected to the landscape, and Oregon offers endless inspiration.
Lauren & Dallas have a once in a lifetime kind of love.
When I first met them 6 years ago, they already had years of adventures together under their belt. From California to Asia, their adventurous spirits somehow landed in the same place at the same time.
Dallas and I met at a winery party, I had just made the move to Oregon and I knew one person. He asked me if I would be friends with his girlfriend and I was instantly on my feet ready to meet Lauren. I remember that moment so clearly because I could tell after five seconds with Dallas that he loved his person so much that he was scoping people out in the hopes that she would start to feel at home in their new home.
If ever there were soulmates,
these two are it. In spite of all their travel adventures, they were raised in similar parts of the states, worked in the wine industry, carry a deep love for Korean food and fried chicken, and jam to the same music. Those two are always seeking out live performances, never missing an excuse to see Phish or drive into Portland for a new favorite.
Oftentimes, the hardest thing is to find a partner who wants to grow with you.
For years, Lauren & Dallas have been side by side pushing each other, learning new things, growing in their careers, and striving to be the best versions of themselves. They have both experienced massive losses and health scares, never finding a crack in their foundation. When I met them 6 years ago, it was as though they had already been married for a decade. So it was no surprise that a sentiment echoed throughout the evening was “its about time!”, but everything has been able to unfold in their own time. Which to me, makes it feel that much more special. It wasn’t for the fanfare, pressures from society, or a false timeline. It was always just about what was right for the two of them. Being a part of their wedding day is something I’ll always hold dear and I know the two of them will continue to create the most thoughtful and vibrant life together.
Planning a wedding at Killer Tomato?
After designing Lauren and Dallas's wedding there, I fell in love with this venue. The setting encourages floral designs that feel abundant and natural rather than overly formal. The open landscape, changing light, and relaxed atmosphere make it one of my favorite places to create colorful wedding flowers in Oregon.
