After almost two decades of wonderful events, we're turning the wheel. It's with bittersweet excitement that we announce that this February we sold our business and closed the doors to Ella Events.

It's been a wonderful adventure, and as everyone knows, wonderful adventures are formed by the wonderful people you meet along the way. A big part of being a planner is knowing that you are only as good as your team. We've been privileged to have the opportunity to work with so many talented Portland vendors over the years and have been lifted up, professionally and personally, by our relationship with each of them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's been a joy and an honor.

Currently, Carmen is using the wisdom of the akashic records to help entrepreneurs and individuals to take action from a place of purpose and alignment with their soul gifts and to energetically clear karmic patterns that limit us through her soul-realignment and health coaching practices.

Jocelyn is expanding her family at the end of April, with plans to return as a venue and interior design consultant in 2021. She can be reached at [email protected] in the future!

Sara will be giving her full and powerful attention to her staging and design company, Sara Bergqvist Style. She's available for product, video and interior styling, with a special focus on home staging in airy, minimalist, Scandinavian style.

Hallie will still be producing stylish and proper paper goods under her own company, Hallie Creswell. Please reach out to her with any paper goods, web or logo design needs!

Our wonderful partnership with the Suttle Lodge will now be under the capable leadership of Kerry Bergler, owner of Events by Mint in Bend. We think you'll find she brings an A-Game of warmth, talent, and professionalism.

With much love and gratitude,
Carmen + Jocelyn

We're taking part in a private registry event that Crate&Barrel is hosting on Sunday, October 15th at their Bridgeport Village store. The event will feature fun interactive stations with some of our favorite vendors, including a .gif photo booth with Robert J. Hill Photography, bouquet "try on" station with Starflower, 1st dance consultation with DJ Aquaman and more! Of course there will also be a table styled by us with the help of Starflower and Studio Olivine.

These are all the added bonuses, of course. The main event is getting to register with the help of the C&B registration advisors on hand. Its so nice to have it done! Also - White Pepper will be there doing snacks and sips.

To prepare you for the onslaught of gifts, Studio Olivine will be there showing you how to write the perfect thoughtful (and brief) thank you notes! I hope you can make it!

We are so happy to do this little feature on one of our favorite floral designers, Camille Shu, who now has a new keepsake option post wedding day. Camille is an illustrator and florist based in Portland. Growing up next to her mom in the garden, she draws constant inspiration from botanical subjects. After starting her work at Fieldwork Flowers, she couldn't resist drawing the funky bouquets that were being whipped up at the shop as a momento for the Brides. Since then, she has been commissioned by many to draw bouquets so that the flowers can live on and on. "I draw flowers so they will not die." - Frida Kahlo
