An Early Reveal from Our 2026 Bingo Card
Behind every business goal is a few personal ones. At Silk & Shadows, we've been quietly keeping a 2026 Bingo Card filled with milestones we'd love to achieve, and while we're not ready to reveal the whole thing just yet, we couldn't resist sharing one special square. Coordinating a wedding at Victorian Belle, where we got married ourselves, has been on that list from the very beginning, and this June, we finally got to cross it off.
What We Do in the Shadows
We’ve been a little quiet lately, but for a very good reason. Wedding season arrived faster than we ever expected, and the limited number of 2026 dates we opened when launching Silk & Shadows has almost completely sold out. Between serving our couples, building better systems behind the scenes, planning for 2027, and working on a visual refresh for our brand, there has been a lot happening. Here’s a quick update on where we’ve been and what’s coming next.
Hilton Downtown Portland, Here We Come!
We’re excited to share that Silk & Shadows is now a preferred vendor at Hilton Downtown Portland. With an incredible team and a versatile ballroom that can transform to fit any vision, it’s a venue we’re truly excited to work in. We can’t wait to create some beautiful weddings there.
Peace of Mind When Tying the Knot
Silk & Shadows has been selected to beta test The Knot’s new Peace of Mind program, designed to give couples extra reassurance when booking vendors. Here’s what it is, how it works, and why we’re excited to be part of it.
