Kam Kam Dunes, Sahara Desert, Morocco

Styled Wedding Shoot

For all you adventure seekers and big dreamers.. this earthy Sahara Desert elopement is for you!

We designed this stunning elopement tablescape with the desert climate and colors in mind. Dried florals by Brier & Ivy, organic, tile place cards by Seek Paper Co and an earthy, muted palate with a soft, flowing canopy above. We love how this simple and minimal elopement design has such a strong impact against the rolling hills of sand.

Planning an elopement abroad is no easy feat, but is a challenge that brings us SO much joy! If you and your adventurous babe are thinking about eloping, read more about our elopement services here!

Babes Brunch Disco

Babes Brunch started out as just a fun idea.. 20 industry girls, an intimate brunch & a beautiful design. Today, Babes Brunch is an event encompassing all creative women; spoiling them and letting them unwind and connect with like minded ladies in an exquisitely designed space.

We hosted our most recent 90 person Babes event at the stunning Evergreen venue in Portland, OR and we could not be more thrilled with how it turned out!

From the fun guest attire to the disco ball photobooth backdrop, our ‘Daylight Disco’ theme was brought to life in so many ways!

For the tablescape we chose modern black chairs and beautiful, stark white tables from Vintage Meets Modern. Each setting was adorned with a tiny disco ball and custom place card and menu from Seek Paper Co. Suspended over the tables were incredible cloud like, baby’s breath installations by Brier & Ivy.

The guest pampering entailed a lash bar by Styled by Mal, as well as numerous local pop-up shops selling unique, curated items! The spoiling continued with a cotton candy machine, speciality cocktails by Public Provisions and a full dessert spread by The Hungry Hero!

The love, support and community within these events is something super special. Both, the guests that attend and the incredible vendors that contribute truly make Babes Brunch what it is.

We are so excited to be taking this amazing event on the road this year, making Babes Brunch accessible to ladies all across the country! Keep an eye out for new release dates and locations and send us a message if you think Babes Brunch should come to your city!

Babes Brunch Morocco

Babes Brunch is a special time for creative women in the industry to gather in a beautiful space to brunch, laugh, connect and encourage one another! It’s so important to us to bring together a group of inspirational, hard-working girls and spoil them the way each of them deserves!

Our November Babes Brunch at The Bindery in McMinnville, Oregon, was a dreamy, Moroccan inspired event like no other! 60 amazing, creative women joined us for an afternoon of pure pampering and fun. We wanted to provide a space where women could just show up, relax, indulge and enjoy.. something that is so rare for those working in the creative industry! Kore Herbals setup a DIY Sugar Scrub bar and with Union Wine Co. bubbles in hand, everyone lined up to snap fun group photos with Smirk Photobooth Co!

The Moroccan inspired design was brought to life by an incredible group of vendors! Bowerbird events draped the room with textured, tan fabric to give a sort of tent feel. Marisa of Revel Petals decked out the space with pampas grass, hanging tumble weeds and large dried installations, suspended over the tables! We hand selected all of the rentals from Classic Vintage and set up large lounge areas for the ladies to sit and chat with one another! The edible table runner by Savour and Graze was one of our favorite aspects of the bunch… seriously a work of art!

Emily & Adam’s Wedding

The inspiration behind this glamorous, industrial wedding, came from the couple’s desire to create a 1920’s, classy, minimal vibe.

The elegant and modern color scheme of rust tones and emerald green appeared everywhere from the couple’s custom paper goods by Seek Paper Co to the cozy corner lounge we designed using Archive Rentals. The green velvet vintage settee and sleek black leather chairs are just another way the couple’s modern, yet classic, style comes through in the design.

For the tablescape, we selected a traditional champagne coupe glass for that classic feel, but lined the tables with edgy, artistic floral centerpieces, flowing out of sleek, terra cotta vessels, created by Sarah of Selva Floral Design.

We knew we wanted their ceremony backdrop to be absolutely stunning, but also understated. We worked closely with Selva to make this amazing, muted, floral wall come to life. After the ceremony, the floral wall was repurposed to be the backdrop for the photo booth and was enjoyed by the couple and their guests for the entirety of the evening.

After the ceremony, the couple proposed a thank you toast to their family and friends in quintessential, Gatsby era style - a champagne tower stacked six coupe’s high.

We weren’t sure it was possible to create an “over the top” yet minimal vibe, but for this couple’s special day, we achieved exactly that.
