We’re excited to share that Silk & Shadows is now a preferred vendor for planning and coordination at Surf Sand Resort in Cannon Beach. After an incredible wedding there, it quickly became one of our favorite spots for coastal celebrations, with ocean views, a magical hidden path to the beach ceremony, and the kind of atmosphere that makes weddings feel unforgettable.

We attended the Portland Wedding Show this year as observers, exploring the latest from Portland wedding vendors and connecting with creatives across the local wedding community. While the event felt a bit underwhelming in inspiration, it sparked meaningful conversations, new friendships, and clarity about how Silk & Shadows wants to show up in the Portland wedding industry next year. From surprise run-ins with our own couples to magical encounters and bold balloon installations, here is our honest recap.
