Caitlin Burkhart is currently in the curatorial practice program at California College of the Arts. Her husband, Mackenzie Schubert, is an illustrator and graphic designer who draws comics on Plain Comics. The couple has recently started selling wedding decorations and design work at Like Fun.
After dating for almost seven years, Mackenzie and I got married on July 14, 2013. We had been living in Michigan while Mac attended graduate school, and he proposed during our drive back to Oregon. We knew we wanted to tie the knot in Oregon, surrounded by family, so we didn’t waste any time in the planning stages.

Mac and I love the outdoors, and we wanted the wedding to feel easy, warm, and summery. We chose our venue – McMenamin’s Cornelius Pass Roadhouse – for its huge octagonal barn, which was built in 1913. The property is hidden away in the suburbs and functioned as a family farmstead until the late ’60s.

We tried to aim for clean and simple decorations and let nature do the rest of the work. Everything started with our color palette (red, yellow, and grey) and evolved from there. When it comes to design, Mac and I tend to have similar taste, which made the process not only painless but also incredibly fun!

Mackenzie illustrated, designed and printed all of the invitations, while I worked on the little flags that we wrapped around them. Mac also designed and built all of the signs and centerpieces (with help from his father and friends) in the basement of his grandparents’ house. We borrowed some of the vintage decor from our parents and grandparents, and my mother sewed all of the striped table runners.

The decorations inside of the barn were also all DIY: I made the bunting out of coffee filters and twine; Mac’s mother crafted the flowers on the walls from tissue paper, and and his sister hand-lettered all of the names for the seating chart on paint chips. In keeping with the aesthetic of the paper flowers, we ordered dried flower bouquets and boutonnieres from Danielle Marie of Three Little Birds.

My maid of honor Alyssa and I made over a thousand sea salt caramels in my mom’s kitchen, and all of the cakes were made by Papa Haydn bakery in Portland, Oregon. Mac designed the cake topper to match the table numbers and centerpieces.

The wedding was a huge labor of love and we couldn’t have done it without all the friends and family who pitched in to help!

Penny Birch-Williams from PennyBirchWilliams said 7 years ago
Really nice to see an unpretentious, heartfelt wedding. So many go so far over the top & at some point it feels more like a stage show than a personal event that is shared with family and friends. I love the handmade quality, the family and friends helping, and the comfortable venue. Interesting color choices too. I'm sure it was just as romantic as it looks in these photos, and I wish the happy couple a lifetime of happily ever after.

Bev Garrett from HeyLittleSister said 7 years ago
My god daughter was married at this McMenamin's location as well. In fact, I officiated the ceremony. It was in late May under a beautiful awning late in the afternoon next to the octagonal barn. The reception itself was in the barn.Gorgeous. Then, 2 1/2 months later, my son's wedding reception was held on the side yard of the mansion for 250 people. (They were married at Timberline Lodge the week before) It went well into the night and the atmosphere was amazing and is as always ...simply stunning. 10 years ago, our daughter's best friend was married at the McMenamin's school house location on the Columbia Gorge...... Oregon is a great place for destination weddings......
Wolf from DantesSpirit said 7 years ago
Lovely wedding, but I'm not getting the plaid connection? I see strips, checks (looks like gingham) and ombre but no plaid? Was it a play on words or something? Anyway, congrats!

Frankie Banke from fschapiro said 7 years ago
I know that venue so well! You did an amazing job of decorating it and making it your own! My husband and I actually got married at the Roadhouse in 2012. I was too terrified to do the barn (I was DIYing almost everything, and that space was just too much for me to figure out), so I'm glad someone took the challenge and made it shine. You took the charm of the Roadhouse and multiplied it. Congrats on your wedding and for holding a beautiful wedding and reception!
