FOURTH OF JULY BACKYARD BASH

Will and I are going to be in Portland for my cousin’s wedding on July 4 this year so I decided to gather some talented friends and put together a festive backyard bash a couple weeks early. If you’re planning a patriotic get-together for the holiday weekend, I hope you’ll be inspired! From the calligraphy place cards and the pink and red florals to the fruit skewers and strawberry champagne, I was head over heels for every last detail. I had so much coordinating this shoot and hope to bring you tons more entertaining features in the months to come! Enjoy!

{Cheers!}
