Why Portland Weddings Are Special

Make your Portland wedding feel personal and luxe. I create live watercolor fashion portraits and engraving calligraphy (glass, metal, fragrance) that transform cocktail hour into an unforgettable, gallery-worthy experience—elegant keepsakes your guests take home the same night.

Perfect for city-meets-classic celebrations across Pearl District and South Waterfront, and a natural fit at iconic venues like Portland Art Museum and The Nines (also frequently at Waverley Country Club and Lan Su Chinese Garden). From black-tie receptions to intimate soirées, Bowtie & Brush delivers that timeless, fashion-forward touch Portland couples love.
