Category: We have fun

Madam Tussauds, Hollywood

So, I’m no Marilyn Monroe, but while in Hollywood, it’s fun to pretend. I’ve always wished I could carry off the color red, and short hair, and showing cleavage. I cannot.

This is what it looks like when your bride and groom pose with their twenty grandkids! When we say custom tailored every type of wedding, we mean it, hence our name “Vareus (pronounced various) Events. For this wedding I served as personal attendant to the bride, helped her get in to her dress and set up all the details as usual with the team. But every wedding is different, every menu, style, type is different. We don’t have a feed full of the same style because our couples, their story and their style is different. #weddingplanning #vareusevents #portlandwedding

Tiny little things - I found these little pieces of wood at the floral market one day so I decided to use them on a sweetheart table to give some more height and character to the collection of small flowers I had to spread around the table and they turned out perfect.
Wedding signs they give people direction, set expectations and are pretty. If you plan to make your own signs, hopefully you have a plan for them afterward. Your welcome to our wedding sign will look nice somewhere in your home, but what about all the others? Many local calligraphy artists will rent these to you and do the artwork. If you plan to buy, use chalkboard markers so you can clean off the ones you don’t want to save and reuse them to write notes in your kitchen, etc. they clean easily with rubbing alcohol FYI.
Today we celebrate the men who are always by our side. Those who raise powerful women and caring men, with strength, love and awesomeness- to all the dads who are there for us every day, Happy Father’s Day!
Saturday at the park with a giant fish.
Happy Friday! Here’s hoping your weekend is filled with love and joy! #portlandweddings #vareusevents #weddingplanning
If you are unsure what type of seating you should have at your wedding, here’s a basic guide. 1. Assigned seating is best for very formal, intimate weddings, or weddings where your catering staff will be serving plated dinners. The place card is how you note meal type, so your servers don’t have to ask each guest. 2. Escort Cards with assigned tables are best for all other weddings. This gives everyone guidance on where to sit, but allows them to place their own name card at the seat they choose at their assigned table. This weekend we had assigned seating, so each guest could find their table in the table chart, the tables were set with a placecard at each chair, and because this was a wedding with 29 grandkids in attendance, every table was covered in paper for guests to draw on. The couple kept the masterpieces after the wedding. To save in floral costs, they used their centerpieces as aisle decor during the ceremony, we moved them to the center of each table during the cocktail hour. #portlandweddings #escortcards #tablechart #weddingplanning #vareusevents
A new blog post up now. Link in the bio, in which I discuss a lot about desserts. Just remember one important thing, “Delivery” does not mean “set up”. A lot of couples don’t know or truly understand the difference, but there is a difference. Make sure you know who will set up your dessert table. Will your baker drop off to deliver, or deliver and set up? These are different services. Is your florist delivering or setting up the cake flowers, if the baker will decorate with the florist’s flowers did you confirm this with both? This dessert table includes cupcake stands handmade by the groom, a menu sign made by the bride’s son, the handmade honey comb and bee chocolates made by the bride’s other son, and displayed/set up by me. #weddingplanning #portlandweddings #vareusevents
