Updates
Written By Ava Darcy

We have some happy news to share: Silk & Shadows is now on Zola! 🎉

This one feels really special to us. Zola is where so many couples in Portland and the Pacific Northwest begin planning their weddings, and we’re genuinely excited to show up there and say hello. Planning a wedding is a big, emotional, sometimes chaotic moment, and we love being part of it right from the start.

Silk & Shadows is a Portland-based wedding planning, coordination, and event design studio. We work with couples across Portland and the surrounding areas who want a wedding that feels thoughtful, personal, and not overwhelming. Opening our Zola storefront gives us another way to connect with couples who are just getting engaged, deep in planning mode, or somewhere in between.

What we love most about wedding planning isn’t the checklists or timelines, it’s the people. We love hearing how you met, what matters to you, and what you actually want your wedding day to feel like. Being on Zola makes it easier for local couples to find us, learn about our approach, and see if we might be a good fit.

You’ll find us on Zola offering full wedding planning, partial planning, day-of coordination, elopements, and event design throughout Portland and the greater PNW. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a full celebration, our goal is always the same: help you feel supported, organized, and excited, not stressed.

If you’re planning a wedding in Portland or nearby and browsing Zola, we’d love for you to stop by our storefront and say hi. Even if you’re just gathering ideas or figuring out what kind of help you need, we’re always happy to chat, answer questions, and share what we’ve learned along the way.

We can’t wait to meet more local couples, make new connections, and be part of many beautiful weddings across Portland and the Pacific Northwest. 💫
