Colorful Garden Wedding Inspiration

January 31, 2018

Last summer, I came together with Ashley Cook Photography and Ali Briskey Designs to create this super colorful, garden-inspired shoot. This idea had been in the works for a long time, and although the vision changed quite a bit from the greenhouse vibe we were initially planning, I love how it all came together and I had so much fun collaborating with these talented ladies!

Hey friend! Thanks for stopping by.

This is the place where you’ll find my past weddings and events, planning tips and advice, ideas and inspiration for your wedding, and a glimpse into my own life here in Eugene, Oregon. I hope you enjoy my little slice of the web. Happy planning!

Wedding season is here. ❤️

So excited to kick things off on Friday to celebrate M&A in Bend! 🎉 It’s so fun getting to work with the same families more than once and this is one of those situations. 🙌🏼

Now if the weather could just cooperate, that’d be great! 😂😏

It seems that every year I go through some sort of phase where I am not on this account much… reasons vary and the time of year varies but clearly right now is that time. 😂 Part of me feels guilty for not “showing up” enough but the other part of me knows that I am pouring my energy in to my work and my family right now and it’s okay for IG to take a backseat.

There are seasons where I have my feed planned out for weeks at a time and I’m brimming with reels ideas and constantly sharing on stories. And there are seasons where it appears that I am MIA for weeks at a time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Can we normalize this? Unless you do social media for a living I have no idea how someone can post consistently week after week for years on end. If that’s you… HUGE props!! 🙌🏼

Anyway. Just popping in to share this lovely photo that @fivefourteenvineyards shared with us. We love bringing our chairs out to their beautiful winery and they have been such a wonderful repeat client for us. We are so thankful to every one of our clients for trusting us and helping our little biz grow! ❤️

Definitely wouldn’t have made it this long in the industry if it weren’t for badass women like these who have had my back! I am so beyond thankful for the relationships I’ve forged over the years with vendors in our local community as well as those across the country from me.

If I could give one piece of advice to new wedding pros getting started in the industry — seek out community!! Find your people and love them hard. 💛

If you are interested in part-time work in the wedding industry, send your resume to becky@eventcrush.com and let’s connect! 🙌🏼

Happy Monday! The last week has been a whirlwind… celebrated my bday in Portland, drove up to Medford to celebrate @eventswithbecca ‘s precious baby on the way, and now I’m heading back to Portland to fly out to Austin to meet up with a few wedding planner friends I’ve been leading a mastermind with over the last year! 🎉 I can’t wait to finally hug them in person. See you soon @strevents_darcy @honeyandlavenderevents @amandablueevents !

Oregon coast weddings will always hold a special place in my heart. 🤍 Planning a wedding on the coast holds many unique challenges so If you are committed to saying your vows amidst the salty breeze, here are some tips:

▫️There is a good chance it’s going to be windy… this could mean a light breeze or big ‘ol wind gusts. Make sure your hair style is conducive to this! Also any lightweight details like paper place cards or menus are a no-go unless you can affix them to something. Be mindful too of your veil and the style or your dress when it comes to the wind
▫️Speaking of weather, just like with any other outdoor venue, make sure to have some sort of backup plan. Weather on the coast can be unpredictable and you probably don’t want to get caught in a downpour. If you’re right on the beach a tent may not be an option, but there are lots of great coastal venues that have indoor/outdoor options as well.
▫️If you have your heart set on a true beach wedding, you’ll need a permit if it’s on a public beach. Check with Oregon State Parks or ask your wedding planner to help with this!
▫️It’s going to be loud. The roar of the ocean can drown out the most well-meaning officiant, so having a sound system is always recommended. Which brings me to my next point…
▫️Obviously there are no outlets at the beach! You will need a generator to power your sound system or a battery-powered speaker.
▫️Be flexible! The logistics of a coastal wedding can certainly be more unpredictable than a ballroom wedding, but if it’s the dream backdrop you’re envisioning then just remember to go into it with an open mind and plan for the unexpected. 🤍
