Event Highlight: The 1st Portland NotWedding

Rainy days don’t stand a chance against you, Portland. Despite the drizzle, the atmosphere at was warm, cozy, and a little magical. The Barn at Flanagan Farm provided the most beautiful, intimate shelter from the sprinkles, and we wouldn’t have had it any other way for our very first Portland NotWedding. Prepare to get lost in your daydreams as you take a peek into this delightful night — we hope you enjoy!

Inspiration

“How can you use classic beauty to create an abstract, dreamlike atmosphere?” This is the question we posed to our Portland vendors, and they blew us away like a cool New England breeze. Using inspiration from the tension between romance and drama in Wuthering Heights, the impressive team of vendors took guests to another reality — and we sort of wanted to stay there.
