Keep Portland weird! That’s the motto! Portland is known for being unique, offbeat, and totally cool and weird; let’s keep it that way. Today we’re showing you how to plan a Portland themed wedding with the coolest Portland, Oregon inspired finds on Etsy + beyond!

So, grab your favorite Portlandia one-liners (love that show!) and let’s get started! Enjoy!

For the best Portland themed wedding ideas, we turned to a few sources: Portland artists, Etsy, and Amazon. Let’s see what we found!

And before we get started, here’s a few pointers: to keep Portland truly weird and plan a unique wedding at the same time, plan a wedding:

-in and around Portland, Oregon
-support local Portland artists (many are listed here in this post!)
-give Portland themed wedding gifts to people you love as souvenirs
-give away Portland favors as a way to send guests home with a fun token of your appreciation
-map out a few fun local places (maybe to see these 12 Signs from Portland?)
-Portland has 12 bridges: here’s a list of the bridges ranked from bad to worst — ha! Apparently there’s so many bridges in Portland and also not enough, so check up on them!
-visit the largest independently owned (yay!) bookstore in the world in Portland, as well as the world’s smallest park! You can find out about these fun things here
-did you know? The city of Portland’s name was decided on a coin toss. Weird, but true@
