Two event vendors that Hitched has been able to work with in the past and highly recommends where featured on AM Northwest, Eric with All Wright Music and Katherine with Event Cosmetics. Katherine’s segment is about “how to achieve the perfect look on an unforgettable day.” Eric’s segment talks about how “the bride and groom can customize their playlist.” Clink the links below to watch their interviews and to receive discounts on services.
This versatile flower is a true rival to peonies and roses when it comes to their eye catching size and beauty. They are native to Southern Asia and are also nicknamed “buttercup.” A bouquet of ranunculus says, “I am dazzled by your charms.” They come in an array of bright and deep rich colors. Once they are cut, they can be used for up to a week which makes them prime candidates for wedding florals. What is so fun about this flower is it can be used in 2 ways for completely different looks. Ranunculus when in bud size can look so delicate next to other flowers in bloom. The 2nd look is when ranunculus are in full bloom it has a completely different feel, the many layers provide outstanding texture and grandeur.

Our monthly flower happens to be the official flower of March, tulips! The meaning of tulips is perfect love, which is a wonderful choice for a wedding flower. There are a wide range of tulip varieties and colors available which help tie in your chosen wedding colors. Like many other flowers that come in different colors, the colors also have meaning. Yellow tulips for example originally represented hopeless love while white tulips were used to send a message of forgiveness.

Oh Spring is delightful! For Oregonians Spring means that sunshine is soon approaching us.
Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal which is a perfect theme for a wedding! One fabulous thing about planning a Spring wedding is that if falls short of the popularity of the summer and autumn wedding dates. Great news for the Spring Bride & Grooms as more top-notch vendors will be available, and you may be able to get discounted rates, especially on sites and travel. There is also school Spring Breaks which allow for out of town guests to travel to your wedding that otherwise may not have been able to attend. Keep in mind when planning events in Spring that high school PROMS can really compete with tux rentals and limousines, so book those early in the process. Don’t forget the importance of “The Back-up Plan” as they are essential for Oregon Spring weddings as our weather is always unpredictable. You know who is great with a Plan B…? Hitched is, give us a call and we can help make Plan B as great as Plan A!
