Elegant and Classic Wedding in the Rose Garden



“Come out here where the roses have opened. Let soul and world meet." – Rumi

There is something undeniably magnetic that makes us feel alive when surrounded by the “Queen of Flowers.” It's a charm that captivated Gabriela and Tyler, leading them to choose the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, OR, for their wedding. Their day was marked by a vibrant array of roses and a peaceful atmosphere, providing a perfect setting for both their ceremony and photos. As they walked through the garden and exchanged vows under the gazebo, surrounded by the colorful blooms, it was clear why this location is a top choice for many couples.

The garden’s location within Washington Park offers not just beauty but also a sense of tranquility, despite being close to the heart of the city. The lush pathways and diverse rose varieties create a visually stunning backdrop that is both elegant and inviting.
