Babes Brunch- Celebrating the Success of Women

Babes Brunch- Celebrating the Success of Women in Portland, Oregon 

Babes Brunch is created by Mae and Co Creative 

Letting your local wedding community know you're offering wedding consulting services along with your party styling means networking and telling every one you meet how EXCITED you are about the services you're offering.  When the Babes Brunch came up, I had to go!

Held at The Evergreen in SE Portland, an event space with circular windows to let the light stream in, beautiful brick walls above and white wood paneling below make this space versatile for any wedding theme.  Maple flooring adds a touch of warmth.  There's a mezzanine above with a staircase leading down to the event space for couples wanting to make a grand entrance, a place to get ready for the wedding or a cozy space for guests to relax from the partying below. The space doesn't feel big, it feels intimate, even though it can host 445 people on the main floor.

The theme for this Babes Brunch was day light disco. I can get down with that. I've never been a night owl. And I had the perfect dress for it that I picked up at Target a few years back on sale. I KNEW there would be an occasion for that dress.  If you've been a fan of Fizzy Party for awhile, you know I love to dress the party theme. If you hire me as your wedding consultant and want me there on the day of your wedding, I'll totally dress your wedding theme.

Oregon Wedding Venue- Vernonia Springs

Oregon Wedding Venue, Vernonia Springs 

A few weeks ago I got to attend a wedding styled shoot in a town I'd never been too. I've lived in Oregon all my life but I've never been to Vernonia.  Even though it's only about 40 mins from my house I've never been because there's just never been a reason to.  Going to this styled shoot was spur of the moment and I'm glad I went.  The drive out was beautiful.  Tree lined windy country roads took me into the small town and on to my destination of Vernonia Springs.   As soon as I stepped out of the car, crickets.  No really, I heard nothing but crickets.  It was fabulous.  So peaceful. I just wanted to stay there all day and soak up the sounds of nature. 

Ceremony site 

There are several spots you could choose for your wedding site. The pergola area is a great quiet little spot.  There is SO much you could do with that pergola.  You could decorate it with a few flowers to keep it simple and let all the trees surrounding it do all the talking.  Or you could bloom it out with flowers hanging from the top and climbing up the sides.  You could drape it in fabric.  Add some twinkling lights for an evening wedding. Oh the possibilities. 

Inside the lodge is comfy couches and chairs and a big space for hosting your reception if the weather isn't great for an outdoor reception.
