Blockhouse Portland, Oregon Flower Shoot

Portland, Oregon has a lot of talented florists and last month we were honored to be asked to take some photos by Annie of Floral Sunshine of a few bridal bouquets she made. It was the perfect mini styled shoot which had a dress from Brides for a Cause and was shot at Blockhouse at Pomarius Nursery in SW Portland, Oregon. We love working with Annie as she is super creative and really caring. She has been in the wedding industry for over 10 years and has a cute studio in SW Portland. The stunning venue is Blockhouse which is the perfect venue for your Elopement, micro wedding or medium sized wedding. The venue is nestle in the middle of a plant shop. (How cool!!)

We know that people love to give back and Brides for a Cause is the perfect way to give back and get an amazing wedding dress!  Brides for a Cause is more than a bridal store – it’s a bridal store to raise funds for charity! They are a nonprofit organization who collects donated wedding dresses and resells them to raise money for charity. This is a great way to give back to others while finding your dream wedding dress. This is also a very sustainable way to acquire a wedding dress.

If your already married and want to help out you can donate your wedding dress to Brides for a Cause where they will resell it to another bride and donate the cash amount a variety of women-focused charities (click here for current list). In the past 8 years they have collected over 15,000 wedding dresses and donated over a million dollars to charity! If you have always wanted to give back and work in a wedding dress shop they are always looking for volunteers. They also have locations in Tacoma & Seattle, Washington.
