Yili and Dan’s Wedding in Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden

Yili and Dan were married in the beautiful serene surroundings of Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden.  The Asian themed wedding was accentuated by the beautiful red oriental bridesmaid dresses that matched perfectly with with the lovely bouquets from Passionflower Floral. Their ceremony was held on the Moon-Locking Pavilion in the center of the koi and lily pond.  After the ceremony, their guests departed the gardens on one of many PDX Pedicabs to their reception destination, Portland Embassy Suites, Queen Marie Ballroom.
