Portland in December is typically rainy and cool, but the venue is a heated indoor space. You may want to pack a raincoat or an umbrella.
Winter formal attire: think pagan Yuletide in the forest. Evergreens, earth tones, or gem tones. Try to avoid anything too Christmas. View our pinterest mood board to get inspired: https://pin.it/245naYLML
