Kristina, who planned the wedding from San Francisco, scripted the most intricate details down to the specialty ribbons used for tying the flip flop favors. Her colors (burnt orange, chocolate brown and avocado green), theme, design element and personality were present in each and every aspect – clean, simple elegance and chic.

The not-so-ideal weather did not deter the out-of-town guests nor dampen spirits. Tents were erected and a magical environment was created under canopy with floral elements of Flowers by Cat, rentals from The Party Place, gourmet cuisine from Art of Catering, and lively music entertainment of Design Band. Sweet tooth cravings met the delicious creation of Dream Cakes in a white, simply elegant, four-tiered cake and a full candy bar with assorted orange candies.

When the night came to an end Kristina and Jon were whisked away in a 1947 Silver Wraith Rolls Royce to their honeymoon suite at The Nines Hotel. In true Kristina fashion, ensuring that final details were not to be forgotten, each guest received a box containing two freshly made sliders as they entered the bus (provided by Raz Transportation) for their final ride back to their hotels in downtown Portland.
