Portland Wedding Coordinator

Here's to new beginnings!

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful day, enjoying the promise that the future holds for us. Whatever your political leaning, I hope you'll be reminded that we all have much more in common than we have that is different.  Here' s to an inspiring year! And if you are engaged, may you be just as blissed-out and happy at the end of your wedding as these two looked at theirs. Thanks to Gangsta Bride for the pic!

Art of Weddings Recap and Roundup

The past week was plenty busy with our participation in the first wedding show of the year - The Art of Weddings.  We had so much fun and saw all kinds of cool things that we just have to tell you about. So today's Saturday Roundup will have a lot of content, hang in there!

First off, we were so lucky to be placed near Annette from Swanky Tables Event Design.  Her business centers around getting all the little details on the table just right, from linens to place cards, and she even has a candy buffet setup service!  Her table was all decked out in pink and silver, and it was hard to resist the pink rock candy swizzle sticks! We can't wait to do an event with Annette.

Next up is Karren's Specialty Cakes. They were handing out full-size samples of their chocolate orange and pear cake and both were fabulous.  I am really picky about cake so take my word, it's great! I heard tell that Karren only does one cake a weekend, so if you're interested, get on it! Pictured below is the Porceline cake from her website:

quick poll!

I'm always curious about what you hip brides and grooms are reading these days, won't you take my poll?  If there's a source I haven't mentioned below for Portland wedding planning inspiration, can you comment below and school me?  Thanks!

Haute looks from Emilia Kaye

Our friends over at Event Cosmetics recently did a high-fashion runway show with Emily Sunnell, the designer of the Emilia Kaye clothing line.  The looks are startling, very Marie Antoinette!  Not necessarily what you'd think of for a wedding, but I love the mood that this look inspires.  Great job EC team!
