Street parking will be available throughout the neighborhood and surrounding blocks, including up and down East 39th Avenue, East 38th Ave, Knob Hill Lane and West 39th Avenue (parallel to Rest Haven Cemetery). If you plan to drive, please note that you may need to walk a few blocks, as close street spots will likely fill up quickly. Ubers are very accessible to and from the Selven's and a great alternative if you don't want to have to park your car or worry about driving! Just note that East 39th car access to the house will be closed from Willamette Street, so plan to be dropped off on Willamette street, or on the other side of East 39th!
The address is 3885 Willamette Street, but the house sits on the corner of East 39th Ave and Willamette. The wedding entrance will be on East 39th Ave. East 39th Ave directly in front of the house will be closed to cars, so here’s the easiest way to arrive: Coming from Willamette Street? Park on West 39th Ave and walk across, or turn one block early onto East 38th Ave and find street parking nearby. Coming from East 39th Ave? Feel free to park along the surrounding neighborhood streets. You can walk in from either side of East 39th Ave and enter the garden through the white gate :)
We're going for "Elevated Cocktail Garden Attire", but make it festive and garden friendly! Floral patterns, bright colors and pastels encouraged! Midi, maxi, cocktail dresses or chic jumpsuits. Lightweight suits or blazers and trousers. Tie optional. See "Wedding Attire Inspo" page for inspo ideas :)
Our ceremony and reception will take place on a grassy lawn, with brick pathways (slightly uneven) throughout the property, so plan accordingly! If you plan to wear heels, think lower style wedges, block heels, platforms, etc. If you're planning to walk to Highlands afterward, feel free to bring a pair of comfortable shoes to change into. You're welcome to leave your shoes at the Selven's house and pick them up later.
Eugene is typically warm and sunny in mid July, ranging from low 80s to mid 90s during the day. It will likely be hot during the ceremony and gradually cool off after sunset, so you may want to bring a light layer. There will be plenty of shade throughout the property. Rain is unlikely, but as with any Oregon day, you never know! Cross your fingers for a nice 82 degrees and sunny!
If your invite says “and guest,” when RSVPing, then yes! Otherwise, while we wish we could include everyone, the Selven backyard has limited capacity and we aren't able accommodate extra guests. Please reach out to Krissy or Colton if you have any questions!
Of course! We would love for them to join our celebration. Full summersault/cartwheel grass area will be limited due to table and reception set up, but the Selven backyard is kid-friendly :)
Please try to RSVP by May 10th! If you need more time don't sweat it!
