The Scoop is coming to the Willamette Valley!

Yes, the 2011 NW Wedding Scoop is just around the corner of the Willamette Valley, and our local Bridal Pros are very excited to use their expertise to help brides and grooms plan for their special day.

The best thing about the Scoop is that it is the first of its kind: no sales pitches are allowed. This way, the couple and their entourage can comfortably and informally ask questions and get tips from Bridal Pros. On top of that, there is a Man Cave for the grooms, so they can relax and enjoy the planning in their own way. There are also many bridal goodies that will be given away, as well as exclusive discount booklets for wedding services, not offered anywhere else.

This is certainly a bridal event that should not be missed. After all, making informed decisions when planning such an important event can save you a lot of time, stress and overspending. The Scoop is essentially like having a wedding consultant for a day — except the ticket to the Scoop is a considerable amount cheaper. The tickets for both Scoop shows (in the Willamette Valley and Portland) are going fast though, so make sure you get yours in time (you can find them here).

We will be there, and hope to see many of you there too!

Just for the Groom and Groomsmen

This one is for the gentlemen!

To those of you who thought that wedding services are only for the bride, here is an awesome website that will prove you wrong: TheManRegistry.com. A website exclusively for grooms and groomsmen, with tricks, tips and awesome gift s aimed to please only the male groups of the wedding party.  If you had questions on how to pick the perfect ring, the best honeymoon plans you can have, and how to get what you want during the wedding planning.

Written by grooms, for grooms. As the creators mention on their website: “The Man Registry was conceived and built as the place where grooms and brides could register for wedding gifts they could put to use in the backyard, garage, or basement bar.” Great resource!

The giving of gifts is back in style!

If you are going for a 2010 wedding or event, you should know that the giving of favors is, well, coming back into ‘favor.’  Gifts this year are coming back into style and are being seen as important to give to guests as a thank you for spending the money to attend your soiree.   Many guests travel, and with the challenging economy, a small token of appreciation for your guests is something that is seen as classy, respectful, and very thoughtful.

Since metallics are being paired with jewel tones this coming year, we recommend something like this…. A metallic frame that can either hold a picture of the couple, a logo, a thank you, or serve as a place card.

For weddings, one should also consider parents, and of course your groomsmen & bridesmaids!!

Favors? Why! They just get stuffed in a drawer.

How many times have you been to a wedding or party and wondered what you were going to do with the ‘token of appreciation’ sitting beside your glass?  You know that party favor we’re talking about, the one that everyone left at the table when they went home or the one sitting in the drawer at home with all the other trinkets and gifts you have received at parties.   

 

More and more couples are opting not to do wedding favors or party gifts because they know that they will be left with a couple dozen (or hundred) of them at the nights end, and it does not seem to be a valuable investment when weddings and other events already cost so much.  However, we know plenty of couples who want some way to thank their guest for coming with class and style.
