Everyone loves to joke about the amount of rain we see but fortunately July is typically a beautiful, rain-free month in Portland. It will likely be very warm (possibly even reaching the high 90s) and dry (not as much humidity as the East Coast). We recommend coming prepared for anything (it has been known to rain once or twice during the season) but generally you should plan for summer climate.
Cocktail, please. But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose! Keep in mind our ceremony is planned for outdoors as well as our cocktail hour. It does not have much cover and could be rather warm in the direct sunlight. Our reception is indoors with AC and guests will have access to the space during the entire wedding should you need to cool down.
You are absolutely welcome to bring your kids! We love 'em! However, if you are bringing your cutie pies with you to Portland but would prefer to attend the wedding sans kids we know a lot of great gals with childcare experience that can babysit during the festivities- just let us know and we'll get you the hook up!
