A Romantic Bridgerton-Inspired Del Mar Villa Wedding in Dundee, Oregon
Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s wine country, Del Mar Villa is the epitome of European-inspired elegance. With its rolling vineyard views, Tuscan-style architecture, and intimate ambiance, this breathtaking estate provides a picture-perfect setting for a romantic, Bridgerton-themed wedding.
A Venue with Timeless Charm Del Mar Villa blends Old World sophistication with modern luxury. Its beautifully manicured gardens, grand archways, and warm terracotta tones transport guests to an enchanting European escape, all while embracing the natural beauty of the Willamette Valley. A lilac-infused color palette, inspired by the groom’s favorite color, enhances the regal elegance of the venue, creating a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere. The wedding featured lush floral designs that perfectly complemented the villa’s opulent setting, elevating every space with romantic blooms.
Custom Hand-Painted Stationery & Artistic Touches One of the most breathtaking elements of the wedding was the custom hand-painted watercolor stationery, featuring a liner painting of Del Mar Villa. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, including dog portraits subtly woven into the invitation suite, a nod to the couple’s beloved pets. A stunning, hand-painted welcome sign banner greeted guests upon arrival, setting the tone for the elegant celebration.
As guests arrived, a photographer was stationed to capture their portraits, creating a personal and memorable entrance experience. Unbeknownst to them, a live painter was secretly using those arrival portraits as inspiration, creating stunning hand-painted favors for guests to take home later in the evening—an exquisite and deeply personal keepsake of the celebration.
The Ceremony: A Scenic Exchange of Vows Couples can say “I do” on the back patio, with the villa’s striking architecture serving as an elegant backdrop. As the bride made her long walk to the ceremony with her father, a trumpet and pianist played a breathtaking rendition of Clair de Lune. Vintage-inspired décor, delicate floral arrangements in shades of lilac, and a fabric welcome sign set a regal and inviting tone.
The Reception: A Celebration Under the Stars The villa’s courtyard offers a seamless indoor-outdoor experience, ideal for elegant dining and lively celebrations. Though originally planned for the courtyard, the ballroom served as a refined Plan B when weather required an indoor option. Guests enjoyed a Pacific Northwest-inspired meal, complete with local flavors that celebrated the region’s bounty. Elegant tablescapes featured lilac-hued linens, delicate china, and bow-detailed menus that added a whimsical yet sophisticated touch. Guests were touched by thoughtful details, including custom monogrammed logos and wax-sealed menus.
Dessert was a highlight of the evening, with the couple’s favorite cake brought up from Sweet Life Patisserie in Eugene, Oregon, ensuring a sentimental and sweet moment. Later in the night, guests indulged in a late-night treat from the Mobile Scoop Ice Cream Cart, delighting in handcrafted flavors under the stars.
Throughout the evening, Wags & Garland, a dedicated dog babysitting service, ensured the couple’s beloved pets were well cared for, allowing them to be part of the special day without worry. As the night progressed, the dance floor became the heart of the celebration, with guests dancing under twinkling lights, embracing the romance and joy of this unforgettable event.
