We love everything Westcoast Event Productions has to offer.  Their design ideas and rental options never fail to create spectacular environments for any wedding.  We were just on their website the other day looking for some new wedding ideas and noticed they have a product catalog posted.  It’s so nice to be able to browse through their selection online!  This is an extremely busy time of year and anything that saves us time is a real plus.  They also have a “What’s New” section with some great examples of products they use to create stellar atmospheres at various events.  We encourage you to go see for yourself, but take it from us, your wedding guests will feel like they’re at the party of the year if you select Westcoast Event Productions for your wedding design and rental needs.  Here are just a few shots of what Westcoast can provide in addition to the typical tables, linens and vases:

Don’t forget — If you want to see Westcoast Event Productions at work, get your tickets to the 2012 Art of Weddings bridal show on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 from 6:00 – 9:30 PM at Pure Space.  WCEP will be there with examples of their displays.  They work hand-in-hand with Pure Space to provide design and rental services.

Whew, it’s been busy over here getting ready for the holidays, family coming to town and of course, The 2012 Art of Weddings event! We couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming show that will take place on January 19th, 2012 at Pure Space Portland. There are going to be so many amazing vendors participating, from cakes to flowers to coordinators to caterers. We just found out that for the first time ever there will be a men’s lounge area brought to you by The Groom’s List. Now your man will also be able to enjoy a wedding event and find ideas for him and his groomsmen. If you haven’t heard of The Groom’s List, let your man know about it. It’s a great online resource for groom’s to be.

Ok, I almost forgot, the special holiday gift for all of you newly engaged couples. We just found out that if you enter the special code: congrats  you will be able to get a VIP ticket for $10 off it’s normal price! There are a limited amount of VIP tickets available so it’s first come first serve. Once they are gone they are gone! Treat yourself and your maid of honor or groom to a special treat.
