Use this blog for inspiration for your upcoming wedding. It features an elegant Oregon venue, linen welcome sign, custom watercolor invitation suite, a beautifully designed table scape, dessert table & sweetheart table. this day was full of charm with dainty lemons, blue tile details, venue pond and lush landscape.

Nestled in the lush hills of Oregon wine country, **Villa Catalana Cellars** transported us to the Mediterranean for a day of artistry, inspiration, and sun-soaked romance. With its old-world stone architecture, thriving gardens, and timeless charm, it was the perfect backdrop for a styled shoot rich in European textures and modern details.

The creative direction embraced the colors and textures of a summer afternoon in the Mediterranean—**but through an Oregon lens.** Blue-and-white tile details, lemon accents, and natural greenery created a fresh, romantic look that balanced elegance with warmth.
The **tablescape** featured soft linen runners, hand-lettered menus, gold flatware, and taper candles in shades of sand and olive. A mix of textures—ceramic, linen, stone, and watercolor—made the table feel layered and lived-in.

Paper Goods & Signs
As the stationery designer for this shoot, I wanted the paper details to feel like a natural extension of the space and story.

The invitation suite included **watercolor lemons**, tile-inspired patterns, and calligraphy touches that paired beautifully with the venue’s stone textures and lush foliage.
Each piece was designed to feel keepsake-worthy—personal, artful, and rooted in place.

I created a **linen welcome sign** that felt soft and organic—like something you'd find hanging in a breezy Italian villa.

Sweetheart Table + Dessert Display

A sweetheart table tucked beneath a climbing wall of greenery created an intimate, romantic moment for the imagined couple. Minimal, modern chairs and overflowing florals grounded the scene, while blue glassware brought in a subtle pop of color.
