Apparently it’s national pet day so of course I have to post these two… Mr. Frankie Snuggles (or some days Cranky Frankie) and Palmer (Pom Pom).
Do you have nicknames for your pets?

Taking a little day trip tomorrow for a venue site visit before one of my clients upcoming weddings… any guesses where I’m headed?
While I adore Bellingham, it’s not Lairmont Manor!

Choosing your wedding venue is one of the first big investments you’ll make during the planning process. It’s incredibly easily to get overwhelmed from the very beginning… it’s all so new, you think about all the special moments you’ll have at each specific venue, and you have no idea what your budget should be. Even for myself this was an overwhelming decision to make.
But, why start off planning your wedding this way? Trust me… hire a planner first. Enjoy reviewing a customized list of venues that match your venue and estimated budget. Ask your planner all the pros/cons and make an educated decision that won’t leave you spending more on other items you didn’t know were needed.
Below is a helpful list of my go-to venue questions when I’m touring a new venue with a client. Hope this helps you find your dream venue ❤️
What’s the max capacity at your venue?
What rentals (chairs, tables, etc) are included or are an additional fee?
Discuss contracted hours of the venue. What time can you arrive? What time does everyone need to leave including vendors?
Are you able to store or ship a few items to the venue beforehand?
Do they provide valet services or parking attendants?
What permits are required or what insurance documents are needed?
Do they have a preferred vendor list?
Do they require a wedding planner to be on-site?
Do they have any restrictions to be aware of (florists can’t hang pieces from XYZ, noise restrictions, etc)?
Are we able to setup an additional walkthrough with our planner?

Does this suit make me look like a Mr?
Proud to be a Black Tux preferred vendor. Our clients get access to our discount code + a personal concierge service. For wedding parties of 6 or more, the groom gets $200 off their order and the wedding party even gets $$$ off their suit.

Elegant jewelry for moments of beauty ✨
Feeling overwhelmed trying to find the perfect jewelry/accessories for your wedding day? Me too. And then I started looking for my bridesmaids earrings as I want to gift them… I think I’ve scrolled through every earring photo on the internet 😳
Sharing some of my favorites below so hopefully you save some time!!

Absolutely love how many of my clients are choosing to walk down the aisle with both of their parents lately. Some even circling back to pick up their step mom/dad just to make sure they feel special too. I 100% plan to do this myself 🥰❤️

Officially big fan of Bellingham!
I feel so grateful to have expanded my vendor network this year. I have met some really hard working, professional and talented vendors. Looking forward to networking more this fall! I swear this industry has some of the most special and kindest people I have ever met 💕
If you’re getting married in Bellingham… highly recommend checking out Lairmont Manor]

Brunch at Ben Paris right now sounds way more fun than unloading my car from last night’s wedding…
I’ll just daydream and share this photo from a few weekends ago of the sweetest bridal party grabbing a drink at Ben Paris before the rooftop ceremony The State Hotel] 🥂💛

About Ivory & Evergreen
We believe in the power of occasion and the necessity of celebration.
That’s why we work with our clients to approach their event with intention, strategy, and the not-so-radical belief that planning an event can actually be fun.
After working in the event industry, we began to notice a problem: over and over, this exciting and meaningful event planning experience was reduced to a mere transaction, a confusing business deal, or an overwhelming mess of options that left people feeling like a bystander in this whole process. Not fun.
That’s why we decided to smash that particular cake and do things a little differently. We want to invite you into the planning process alongside us, helping you get to know our talented vendors, bringing clarity to the more complex details, and giving your input the value it deserves, all the while still creating the space for our clients to feel rested and at ease as they enjoy their celebration. Because they deserve to enjoy it - and that’s where we’re here for.
