Wendy and Skylar – Lincoln City Oregon Beach Wedding

Wendy and Skylar were married this March on the beach in Lincoln City, and I’m just finally blogging it. I have to admit, when they first told me they were planning a sunset beach wedding that early in the year (in Oregon!) I figured we’d be dealing with rain, but when I arrived in Lincoln City that weekend, we were so lucky to experience unseasonably great weather, and, although it was a bit windy, the skies were sunny and clear on their wedding day.  The ceremony took place on the beach, but the reception was held at the beautiful rental home Gables by the Sea.   I loved that Wendy had her bridesmaids dress in their choice of dress or skirt, and just kept them to the same purple, grey, and sea foam green color palate.  Most of the food and decor was put together by a friend of the bride and groom (a VERY impressive feat), and some of the bridesmaids helped assemble the bouquets of beautiful cream roses with purple flower accents.  I really liked the starfish cake topper, and the brown sugar that was used as a garnish on the cake plates to mimic sand.  Wendy made a great choice in wearing a satin pair of cream Toms shoes for the  wedding (much easier to walk on the beach in than heels), and the bridesmaids all wore Toms as well in their choice of colors.  The evening moved on to some dancing (you’ll see an impressive toe touch by a friend in one of the pictures below) and I was able to steal the couple away during the reception for some sunset photos.  I also loved the paper lanterns that they lit and released at the end of the reception, a really beautiful end to such a wonderful day!
