Cannon Beach Oregon Wedding Charlotte's Weddings Featured Bride Lillie + Isaiah

HOW DID HE PROPOSE?

Isaiah planned the most perfect and intimate proposal for his long-time love, Lillie. At the time, they were expecting their first child and had planned a "babymoon" before her arrival just one month away. Coincidentally, or cleverly planned by Isaiah, their friends were also in town and they all spent a wonderful day by the seaside.

Lillie recalls reminiscing with her girlfriend about their long-term relationships, saying how excited and ready she was to take the next step with Isaiah.

As if he had known, Isaiah was planning to ask for Lillie's hand that evening...

After we finished dinner, he told me he had forgotten to bring an adapter and asked if I could help search the room with him for something similar. While I was looking around, he got down on one knee out of nowhere—I thought he was hurt! It was intimate, sweet, and funny.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE FINDING THE ONE AT CHARLOTTE’S?

After visiting one bridal shop in Portland with no luck, Lillie was excited for her appointment at Charlotte's. With her ideal style in mind, she was certain she'd find her dream ball gown princess dress with us! It only took one appointment for Lillie to fall in love, and say yes to the dress!

I always knew what I wanted, but I still had to try on some different styles, just to be sure!

Lillie said yes to Justin Alexander "88093” a clean and classic ballgown with voluminous layered skirt, supportive yet delicate straps, and a plunging V neckline.

DID YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MOMENT DURING YOUR WEDDING DAY?

Lillie and Isaiah had no reservations when it came to choosing their venue. Cannon Beach is one of their favorite spots on the Oregon coast; they frequently vacationed there and got engaged there, so they felt the Surfsand Resort was the perfect place to tie the knot.

Plus the all-inclusive amenities the resort offered, such as catering and the beach-side ceremony, were definitely a bonus! The pair cherished being able to celebrate their love alongside their closest friends and family at a place that was so special to them.
