I wanted this blog post to really focus on those fellow creatives I have had the honor of working with over this past year.  Many of these creatives gave blind trust in me on creating and planning events and styled shoots.  Many may ask why I do styled shoots, and I truely have many reasons.

I have grown to LOVE a styled shoot, it has allowed me to grow in my own creative abililities as well as improve my ability to plan and coordinate. A styled shoot allows us creatives to put a sincere focus on the design, planning, and details of what we would envision as a perfectly styled event, where no detail is missed.

It allows not only myself but others to grow relationships, build trust, build a referral system, and well just have fun .

Our only purpose isn't to just grow as creatives, but to also inspire you, our client, our friend, and our family member to create the most majestic, beautiful, detailed and personalized day ever.  A day that is focused on YOU, and that is why I named my business YOUnique Events & Design.

So, my passion has become COMMMUNITY over COMPETITION, and I highly recommend any of these amazing creatives as a member of your wedding or special event team.  Happy Planning...

XO,
Trixie

And of course all of the wedding venues, DJ's, mixologists, couples, models, and caterers we have worked with.

Wendy & David are high school sweethearts. They met each other through the Cross Country team of Umatilla High School. Wendy was a Junior and David was a Senior, and well they stole each others hearts.

There relationship began on January 26, 2013 and exactly three years to the date, David asked Wendy to be his life partner.

Wendy & David both come from large Hispanic families, and as they began the wedding planning process, their guest list grew so large, that they found they were losing the focus of this special day, a day and moment that should be focused on each other.

With their families blessing, they began to plan an elaborately styled elopement wedding. They reached out Mo Aguilar of MOH Photography as they knew they wanted her to capture this special day.  With the assistance of Mo on seeking the perfect location, they decided on a gorgeous, semi-private location, high above the Columbia River, Twin Sister's nature area.

Mo reached out to me asking if I would be interested in working with her and her clients on planning and styling their elopement. I of course, couldn't say no, and the planning process started immediately.  We worked together to select the color palette, style, and theme.   They trusted me with their vision, and trusted me on their floral designs and designer.  Kris Bennett of KRISanthemums did an amazing job on creating this brides florals.

We were truly blessed to be a part of Wendy & Davids special day.

XO,

OUR ADVICE: Don't be afraid of doing things differently.  Splurge on the things you think are worth it.  This couple didn't spend very much on their attire or the location (free), but they splurged on what mattered to them, their photographer and their florals.
