Minimalism in your wedding design is always a good idea. As we’re working on our 2019 clients’ designs, minimalism and repurposing are key in everything from ceremony backdrops to centerpieces, and decor items that can be used everyday in your home. Small personal sized cakes with a few fresh florals, with a wide range of small pies and other single-serving treats for your guests to eat for dessert. Less is often more. Minimalism isn’t a sacrifice, when done right, it’s art. #minimalism #minimalist #vareusevents #portlandwedding #minimalistwedding

If you missed SNL Saturday, you missed a fantastic SNL Wedding Venue ad. That’s ok, we shared it in our latest blog post. We talked earlier this week about planning weddings at private estates, the least cookie cutter weddings there are; this new blog post has advice to help you avoid hiring a venue or planner who might provide cookie cutter results. .

Golden hour + field of gold = the best bride and groom photos. The latest numbers on the average wedding price came out yesterday from The Knot. .. Are you ready for this? .. $33,931 .. That said, you can get a very good wedding photographer for anywhere between $2500 and $3500, depending on your needs and the number of hours of coverage. After your venue and caterer, this will likely be your biggest expense for most couples. My advice is do not cut back in your budget under the line item “Photography”. When your wedding is over, the pictures and the marriage are what remain. . . Remember, $33k is a lot. To put it in perspective, the average new car is $36,113 - and while this is the biggest day of your life and your marriage will last longer than your car, it’s still a lot. . . #weddingplanner #goldenhour #portlandwedding #vareusevents #oregonwedding

Hands down a wedding with amazing quality pizza and salad served family style is going to be better tasting, better received, and 100% more enjoyed as an overall experience than a buffet. Long tables, passed plates of delicious foods, and flowing drinks at the bar are the essential ingredients for happy wedding guests. The most important thing you should do while planning your wedding is be true to yourselves. Do you have an ideal menu for your wedding? Ask your caterer what that would cost. It’s your wedding eat and serve what you like!

Weddings in Oregon are so much fun! While not everyone in the world has a friend or family member with a large private estate, in Oregon it’s not unusual. Private residence weddings are common here. For starters, your dream venue can be hard to book, and while I have often directed a bride looking for the exact right place to the exact right place, that sometimes means waiting a whole year and a half to get married. I don’t know about you but I waited long enough to get engaged, I wasn’t waiting another year and a half to get married. The huge plus with a private residence wedding is you can get married exactly when you want. The thing to remember about a private residence wedding, it is not something you opt to do because it’s cheap or easier to plan. In fact, you have more to decorate, plan, set up, rent, and coordinate than a venue. Check out my latest blog post in my bio links for more about planning your private estate wedding. #weddingplanner #privateestatewedding
