PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE //

When the invitation becomes an experience ✨ We worked closely with our couple and their stationer to design a custom wine box invitation suite that reflected their love of wine, travel, and sharing their authentic story. From start to finish, their weekend celebration began with this first presentation to their guests.

The monogram was elegantly stamped onto the wine box, a miniature bottle of wine was adorned with a custom invitation label, and the suite—watercolored to perfection—emulated the charm of aged parchment with a painted map, details card, and weekend itinerary. Sealed with a wax monogram, every detail set the tone for a luxurious destination summer weekend at Domaine Serene.

Because every extraordinary wedding begins with an invitation that tells your story. 🍷💕

Let’s craft a distinctive experience for your dream wedding.

MICROWEDDING //
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to intimate celebrations, a reduced guest count doesn’t mean a reduced sense of occasion. 🌊✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This black-tie microwedding on the cliffs of the Oregon Coast redefined unexpected elegance. Surrounded by the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean on all three sides, guests dined under a canopy of lights on a beautifully plated dinner, serenaded by a live five-piece band.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The black-and-white dance floor set the stage for unforgettable moments, while a champagne tower and chic lounge spaces elevated the evening to pure sophistication. A custom-designed chuppah stood as a symbol of love, framed by the endless horizon.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Proof that even the most intimate gatherings can create the most unforgettable memories.

DAYDREAMING //
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As homes fill with the warmth of cooking and holiday cheer, we know many of you are dreaming about your upcoming nuptials… and trust us, we’re dreaming right alongside you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve been reminiscing about one of our most distinctive collaborations—a true labor of love with and her incredible team. What began as a vision for a floral-covered chuppah quickly transformed into something extraordinary.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From a custom chuppah designed by , to elevating it on a platform by , to bringing in for a flawless finish, and finally illuminating it perfectly with lighting from in Seattle—it was a masterpiece in the making. Every detail was intentional, from positioning the chuppah to provide shade for the couple to creatively blocking a large art structure in the background.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result? A breathtaking centerpiece that was a work of art in its own right. Photos can’t do it justice, but the memories it created will last forever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can’t wait to step into 2025, collaborating with our talented vendor partners and bringing even more beauty, magic, and unforgettable moments to life for our amazing couples! ✨

BEST FRIENDS // What’s better than celebrating the best day of your life with your ride-or-dies? This sunshine squad of stunners brought the fun and the laughs—surprising their Queen B with thigh tattoos of her face. Yes, you read that right. A moment as iconic as their yellow dresses, captured perfectly. 🐝💛 After the giggles, these 14 goddesses rallied around their babe as she said “I do” to her forever.

Are you team wedding party, support group, no wedding party? We’re seeing it every which way but are personally big fans of seeing the wedding party sit (regardless of size), giving the moment to the couple. 🤍
