The Dream Book
Enchanted Forest Wedding
The Pacific Northwest does this better than anywhere on earth. We find a grove where the light falls in shafts, build an aisle out of petals and fern, and let the rain be part of it instead of the thing that ruined it. Dinner happens at a long table under the trees with candles that keep blowing out and nobody minding.
What it could include
The shape of the day.
- Old-growth grove scouting with permits handled
- Aisle, altar and candle styling built from the forest itself
- Clear-umbrella and rain-plan kit for everyone
- Long-table forest dinner coordination
- Ceremony and portrait direction through golden hour into dusk
- Full planning support from first idea to packing list
Everything above is a starting point, not a fixed package. Tess plans it and photographs it; you book the vendors she lines up, so you hold every contract.
The practical part
