With spring and daylight savings right around the corner, you may be thinking about all your summer dresses and skirts. They are fun, flirty and keep you cool in warm weather. Why not try a wedding gown that has a shorter hemline? Think it won’t be stylish enough, check out these fabulous images from our Northern friend, Seattle Bride. I absolutely love the bold dashes of color in the tights, shoes or hair piece!

For more information about these super cute wedding dresses, visit Seattle Bride.

Wearing a white dress makes most of us look good. What if your skin is very pale and has some uneven coloring to it? Then you may want to think about adding some color in the form of tanning. But you never tan and are very conscious about what you put on and in your body. You don’t want to spend time baking under light lamps and you’ve seen way to many orange people after a spray tan; what to do?

You now have another option, Organic tanning. It’s oderless, non-streaking, non-orange, dries instantly and all natural! What’s even better is that the color you want can be customized. The paraben-free solution is made with organic ingredients which include walnuts, anti-oxidants and pure botanicals.

It last 5-7 days so if you are thinking of doing this for your wedding day, be sure to go in at least a month early to do a trial run to find the best color.

Where do you go to get this fabulous glow? Head down to Portland Spa and Boutique to make an appointment. Even better, go to the Organic Bronze Bar grand opening party this Thursday, March 4th at 7pm.

Free tans for the first 10 guests.

Happy hour tans all nite, $30!

Just received word of an interesting combination. The Blazers will be hosting a Brides Nite at the Rose Garden Arena. On April 12th, the doors will open early (at 6pm) so you can walk around and see wedding vendor booths before the game starts. On top of that, any bride will be able to get a ticket for the game for only $15! This is a really fun and unique way to get your man more involved in the wedding planning.

The game will be the Trailblazers vs. Oklahoma City. Mark your calendar for April 12th where planning your wedding will turn into a sport! Funny thing is you don’t even have to tell your fiance that there will be wedding vendors there, you can just invite him to the game and surprise!

Here is the website for Brides & Basketball to find more information and to buy tickets.

Today’s post is to share a wonderful local business with you. We’re in love with Punch Floral and Design Studio. Their services include floral design, event styling, venue and layout of your space, typography and program design. What does this all mean? They can help you design the overall look of your event all the way down to the tiny details. What’s great about this is that you may have a general idea of how you want your event to look but they can help you take it to the next level by juxtaposing modern and vintage decor. Working with one vendor that can do multiple things for you can eliminate trying to coordinate multiple vendors to envision your idea.

Their display at The Art of Weddings was beautiful and so creative. Looking at their website will give you a good idea of their work. Here are some images of their past work. For more information visit their website at Punch Floral and Design Studio.

If you live in the city of Portland than at some point you have taken the Broadway bridge and seen the transformation of the large brick building on the corner of N. Weidler and N. Broadway. It has been sitting vacant for as long as I can remember. Over the past year it has been carefully updated and restored, keeping it’s original architecture in tact. This building is home to a number of small businesses but it also has a large event space that is ready for parties.

The Leftbank Annex has over 6800 square feet available to transform into your perfect party. With an industrial feel with it’s concrete floors, exposed beams and metal railings, you would think that it was missing the essentials to host a gathering. When designer the building they consulted event professionals, sounds engineers and more to make sure the space was high tech as well. You’ll find programmable lighting, a robust electrical system and quality A/V.

If you are having a large wedding with 150-300 people, be sure to check out this new event space. It may be the one you have been looking for! For more information visit Leftbank Annex’s website.
