Blush Bridal Consultation Group

THE BEST!! Go with Blush if you are getting married in the Northwest! They are so attentive and creative!

Hiring Christie at Bridal Blush was the absolute best decision and investment we made during our wedding planning process. Her level of professionalism, responsiveness and creativity just blew me away from the first day we met until after our wedding (yes, after).

We met with several planners before deciding on Bridal Blush. I felt that their pricing was incredibly fair for all the services that were included and for their level of flexibility and experience.

I cannot begin to do Christie justice in this tiny review box, I could really go on and on. What I will say what stood out to me the most was Christie's intuitive nature. She was able to understand our vision (even when we didn't have one yet) and come up with tons of creative ideas to support that vision. She was never pushy, but always offered an opinion when we were in need of one and made me feel confident about whatever decision we were making.

Our wedding was beyond any dream I could ever conjure up myself. Truly, the best night of our lives. The entire week before the wedding, I spent with my family that was visiting from out of town. I really was not doing anything wedding related besides facials and manicures. The day of my wedding I actually went for a run, went out to breakfast with my family and even did a little shopping. Seriously that is how calm I was and that is how organized the event was. And I can not take any credit for that - I really do owe that all to Christie.

I hired Susan Duyck for "month of" services for my daughter's wedding. Susan was absolutely wonderful. She was very professional and was very organized. I do not even want to think about what the day would have been like without her! I live out of state and my daughter was not interested in very many of the details. Susan was truly a lifesaver! Everything went very smoothly and on time. Many of the guests commented on the great job she did and the priest was also very appreciative of her help! I would highly recommend Susan at Blush Bridal for planning the perfect wedding!

I worked with Susan at Blush and she was amazing. She had everything organized for both the rehearsal and the wedding day. She made it so that my mom and I could just relax in the morning knowing that all of the little details would be taken care of. I can't imagine planning a wedding without her.

Susan was our "month of" coordinator, and she was wonderful to work with!

We used Blush for Day of Coordination - which is really Month of Coordination now. Christie, our wedding coordinator was AMAZING. She was worth her weight in gold and in the end my husband and I thought she was a steal for how much she costed. Really appreciated Blush taking over all the little details the month before the wedding so that we and our families could enjoy every moment! Would recommend them in a heartbeat and even left our coordinator a tip. She really deserved it.

Having Amy Nuttman work on our wedding was the best decision I ever made. She was amazing! She was able to anticipate all of our needs, stay extremely organized, handle pre-wedding events, always keep me calm and relaxed, and most importantly she always made sure I was stress free. She recommends fantastic vendors and all of them exceeded my expectations. She made such an impression on my friends, family and guests-she is a true professional. If you aren't sure who to hire, you need to evaluate what is truly important to you. If you want quality, professionalism, quick response time, flexibility, compassionate, and someone that always makes you a priority-you want Blush Bridal and Amy Nuttman. She will make sure your wedding planning experience and wedding day is perfect and fun and best of all memorable!

You won't regret it!

Susan Duyck was our day-of coordinator. She and her assistant, Annmarie, were wonderful. My husband (then fiance) and I were doing all the planning for our wedding up to the day of the rehearsal. Once we saw Susan the day before the wedding we handed everything to her and we were so worry free to enjoy our rehearsal and wedding. She totally understood how we wanted things done, and she was on top of things. It was a huge relieve to have such responsive persons by our side. They were on top of things making everything so smooth, in such a personable way. Several of our guests mentioned to us how kind and nice they were to everybody. At the beginning of our wedding planning process we were not sure about hiring a wedding coordinator, but it was totally worth it.

Best wedding planner ever. Amy went above and beyond my expectations. Everything went smooth and worry free and it was the best day of my life thanks to Amy : )

I am so thankful that I decided to work with Amy forthe last few weeks of my wedding. She was an incredible help and very flexible since things are always changing with weddings. She had great ideas and helpful hints beforehand and on the day of I was so thankful to have her. Everyone was thankful to have her. So thank you for all your help and hardwork, wouldn't have gone as smooth without you and your assistant!

Susan Duyck was just absolutely wonderful to work with and i couldn't recommend or thank her more for what she has done to make our wedding a dream come true! I had looked around at many wedding coordination packages in Portland and met with numerous different coordinators. From my perspective, you get so much more value and service with Blush's month of package, compared to the "day of packages" that are comparable in price with other planners. Susan stood out from the others because Susan listens very well, seems to really genuine care about all the details and she ask those questions you just haven't thought of. Its clear she has so many years of experience in the industry and has close relationships with many vendors in the area. My first meeting with her was very valuable, as she was already giving me recommendations and suggestions that i hadn't thought of. We hired Susan for the "month of package." She went over and beyond what was expected of her, to help with some last minute rentals, flower petal pick ups, etc. On our rehearsal she took all of our decorations so we didn't have to worry about getting them delivered on the day of. On the day of, She arrived extremely early to ensure our decorations were in place exactly as i had envisioned them. Her professionalism and experience working with the vendors was apparent as she made certain everyone was clear on timing and important details. She has a relaxing presence that helps alleviate all the stress. Everyone is still RAVING about how smooth, effortless, classy and idyllic our wedding was, just like a fairytail! - thanks to Susan, everything was just PERFECT!

Amy at Blush Bridal was so incredible. You have found your wedding planner. Seriously, stop looking, you've found her! :) She helped me find an awesome DJ, amazing photographer, Cake Bakery, and several other things. She has a list of what you should have done at all stages of planning which was extremely helpful and better than any other lists I had seen. It even includes what to do after the wedding part is over, which is helpful for us at this stage. She answered any call or email right away and never forgot to respond to any of my billion questions for her. She helped decorate the reception hall which was a huge blessing because I was not able to be there for it. Knowing she would be there set my mind at ease and I was able to relax. Our wedding went off without a hitch. We cannot think of anything that could have gone better. I'm sure this wouldn't have been the case if we did not have Amy as our planner. LOVE this lady! :) Good luck!

Katie and Alan, Newlyweds :)

Planning a wedding with my mom living 2000 miles away was one of the most intimidating tasks I have ever taken on. With in weeks of being engaged I contacted Blush Bridal and Erin, Amy and Susan made me feel completely at ease. They guided me every step of the way and and embraced every idea I threw at them. They provided excellent vendor recommendations and were very accommodating to all of our requests and needs. Amy especially partnered with every single vendor and created a relationship that made communication feel effortless. They answered all of our questions in a super timely manner. They were extremely flexible and able to meet where ever and when ever was best for us. They made us feel special and not that we were just another one of many clients. Blush saved us a lot of time and made making decisions flawless and tailored everything to our needs. I cannot thank them enough for how wonderful it was to know that when our guests walked into the reception that everything would be taken care of and perfect. Thank you for all of your hard work and for creating a wonderful day that we continue to get compliments on.

Hiring Amy at Blush Bridal was the best decision we made when we were planning our daughter's wedding. Wow -- she is really on top of things, knows lots of Portland-area vendors, gave us so much information at every stage of the planning; and, on the wedding day itself, she took care of everything.! And best of all she is cheerful and charming and so wonderful to work with. You will be a lucky and a happy bride if you decide to work with Amy.

I cannot say enough great things about Amy and Blush Bridal! She was absolutely amazing and made my wedding day everything I wanted! I first contacted Amy not too long ago when I had what I thought was going to be a big challenge for her: Plan a wedding in two months while I (the bride) live 2000 miles away. Amy didn't even blink, what I thought was going to be a nightmare having to plan a wedding in 2 months from across the country turned out to be a piece of cake with Amy behind the wheel. After day 4 of hiring Amy she was already worth every cent and more. She listened to me, gave advice, kept me on track, and took care of all the details. She has an immense amount of knowledge and great relationships with vendors. I never felt uneasy or uncomfortable and always felt like I was in good hands. Because the vendors she referred said such great things about her as well, I knew I had made the right decision.

The best thing about Amy was that she took all the stress and frustration that can build up when planning a big event so I never loss any sleep. She was always there and was so helpful to me and my family. She worked very well with everyone and was always professional and detail oriented. She went out of her way to make sure everything was right...working through holidays and going to meetings with vendors knowing I couldn't since I lived so far away. Amy was so flexible and didn't push us to do anything we didn't feel comfortable doing. In some ways we went against a lot of the traditions that take place in the ceremony and reception, Amy never fought us she was flexible and happy to do whatever made us feel comfortable. The day of my wedding everything was taken care of so neither I or a family member had to run around and make sure vendors were where they should be and flowers had arrived etc. I was able to sleep in and take my time getting ready which in the long run allowed me to enjoy the day more and spend more time with friends and family. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and elegant the night was and they would ask how did you do this all in 2 months? My answer was "Amy!" She made the night seamless and effortless on my part and I can't thank her enough.

In the end I had the exact wedding I wanted and envisioned. I married was able to spend quality time with my family and friends and I got to meet and work with a really sweet and fun-loving planner!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Blush!

We were initially against having a day of coordinator and then the more and more I heard from wedding vendors (not planners but DJ’s, florists, on site planners, catering folks) how important having a day of planner was I decided it was worth investigating. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made! I had emailed a few different planners and was quite impressed with Amy’s responsiveness. I think it’s important that your personality clicks with your coordinator and although I had several appointments lined up, I met Amy first, signed a contract right away and cancelled all other appointments. She is just wonderful!

We very much didn’t want to make our family and friends work – as many of them traveled quite far to be with us – we wanted everyone to be able to relax and have fun the weekend of the wedding. We had a somewhat complicated event – two different locations, a ton of decorations and details. It was important to us that our family, friends and ourselves enjoyed the day instead of setting up chairs or decorations or coordinating vendors…how unromantic on your wedding day! Initially I was kind of against spending the money but then once I decided to make the decision to hire Blush it was like all my stress evaporated. I knew I could count on them to pull it together and boy did they ever!

Amy and her team made everything come together so seamlessly and magically. I had a lot of little things I needed taken care of and I put a lot on their shoulders…at one point my new husband leaned over to me and said “we aren’t paying them enough”. The one bit of advice I got from a lot of past brides – plan plan plan and then let it all go on the day of your wedding. I was able to let go and Blush did the rest.

They did an amazing job and our entire day was magical and enchanting not only for ourselves but also for our friends and family. Email Blush immediately – they are a great team!!

Our daughter was married recently in suburban Portland Oregon. Amy Nuttman of Blush Bridal was our wedding consultant/planner. What a perfect choice for us as we live in Montana and our daughter is a busy law student in Portland, making wedding planning somewhat of a challenge. Amy helped us every step of the way with professionalism, availability, flexibility, excellent suggestions for vendors, and best of all a good sense of humor ! The actual wedding went off without a hitch--a seamless, lovely, lively, fun and of course very memorable evening for us all, thanks to Amy's "behind the scenes" efforts to make it perfect. To give you an example of her "can-do" attitude, she even brought a infant table chair from her home for one of our young guests! We recommend her unequivocally!

It is without hesitation that we fully recommend Amy! Amy and Lindy from Blush Bridal provided us with superior day of services! Amy made sure all of the final details of our day ran smoothly. She was also responsive to all of our inquiries and needs prior to the day of. Amy provided a level of professionalism and care of which we had only dreamed. Thank you Amy and Lindy for making sure our wedding was the wedding of our dreams!

I found Amy from Blush Bridal because a friend gave me a gift certificate that she won at a Make-A-Wish auction event. Amy donated 5 hours of wedding planning for a great cause and I was immediately impressed.
After meeting Amy for the first time, I knew she would be great to work with and hired her for the Month of Package. Amy always listened to my ideas and cost concerns and was able to put my vision together for what I wanted my wedding to be. I really appreciated that she always responded to my emails within 24 hours no matter how trivial my question was. She was very responsive and always got an answer for me.
On the wedding day, Amy had everything organized and the day went smoothly. I really appreciated someone else putting together a hour by hour timeline and communicating to all the vendors. I had nothing to worry about that day. Amy's assistant Jennifer was also wonderful. She even helped us carry everything up to our hotel room after the reception was over. It was great to have that extra hand at the end of a long day.
I never thought I needed a wedding consultant but I would never have been able to put together a flawless day and have a great time. It was the best money I spent that day! Amy is a wonderful person to work with. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and overall personality cannot be beat!
Thanks,
Laura Hickman

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME ! ! ! I was in the navy on the other side of the country when I used Christy at Blush Bridal. She was awesome! We only visited home for a few day several months b4 the big day and she made all the vendor interviews happen! When I was up at two in the morning worrying about something and wrote an e-mail to her she would write back first thing (sometimes right back at two in the morning)! This girl lives and breathes weddings! And when the flower girls mother decided to get a hideous dress for the flower girl and I cried (for 3 hours straight!) I thought it was too soon b4 the wedding to do something about it (the day b4), but Christy heard about it and made it all better (she went to a children's boutique and bought something much better!)!

I can't say enough great things about my experience with Erin at Blush! My fiance and I were on the fence about hiring a wedding consultant as we assumed it was a luxury reserved for the rich and famous. We really wanted to enjoy our engagement and wedding day, rather than stress about time-lines and logistics. From our first meeting Erin was organized, professional, quick to respond, fun, thoughtful, savvy and remembered every little detail of things I mentioned in passing. Erin helped us navigate the intimidating world of wedding planning with invaluable knowledge and ease. Our confidence in Erin allowed us to experience our wedding as most amazing and beautiful day of our lives.

Amy and her assistant Susan did an amazing job. They both went above and beyond our expectations. I received so many compliments on the amazing job that Amy did, and I totally recommend her to all the brides to be out there. I had such a relaxing wedding day knowing that all the details would be taken care of by Amy.
The day was absolutely perfect and I know we could not have done it without Amy and Susan's help!

Thanks Again Amy!

Amy did a great job planning our wedding and made it so easy to have a wedding. and now i tell my friends that are getting married to give amy a call!

I was the bride who thought hiring a wedding planner/coordinator would be silly and a huge waste of money. I plan large corporate events... a wedding would be (ahem) cake. Enter a slightly kooky florist, a caterer that wouldnt return emails/phone calls for the life of me, a dj who was nice enough but didn't quite "hear" me when we spoke, a very crazy difficult soon-to-be group of in-laws with lots of regulation (grandma can't sit in front of X or next to Y,... etc) and a constant barrage of emails, and a bride who felt VERY strongly that you don't ask your guests to "help" at your wedding, you tell them to have fun!

So, enter Erin at Blush. We hired Blush about a month before our wedding for the "Day Of" package, which is such a misleading name. Erin was in contact as soon as we booked Blush. She scheduled an initial consultation where she grilled us with great questions, things we hadnt even thought about yet, and created a "Day of Timeline" for us. She reviewed vendor contracts, pulled together contact info for everyone involved in the wedding, confirmed vendor arrival times, set-up needs, requested any outstanding balance invoices, etc. She was in constant contact up through our weddng date.

I know, I know, most people are probably thinking, "I'm organized, I could do all that." And you could. You could also answer everyone's questions on the day of, and carry your own emergency kit for when the florist forgets to put pins in the corsages, and be the contact person for the caterer when, at 10:45 pm, they want to know if they should open another case of wine, and show your MIL where the handicap access door is when grandpa is ready to go home at 10 pm. You could do that. But I can pretty much guarantee you'd prefer to be (undistrubed) on the dance floor or chatting with your guests.

I think Blush really paid for itself when it came to laying down the law. The venue, DJ and caterer were really good at telling me, "Well you could do it that way, but we've done that and it doesnt look nice," or, "You don't really want to have it there, its just so much easier if its here." Which may be true, but we're paying a lot of money for this shindig and we want it here. Right here. But of course, they're the experts, so I just went with the flow. Erin was able to come in and say, "Hey, you're dealing with a big shot here. You'll do it how my bride wants it done, and I'll ensure its right." Except she said it in a much sweeter way because she's adorable and sweet, but still hardcore. Erin was also my go to. My groom and I played dumb the entire day of and just told eveyone, "No clue, ask Erin." And they did and it was amazing!

I spent my entire wedding day with my friends and family, catching up, having fun, dancing... not directing or coordinating. Erin did that. I was a relaxed and happy bride without a care in the world. EVERYONE that came to our wedding said it was the best they've been to. Flawless. Went off without a hitch. Erin is a rockstar.

My only regret? Not booking Blush as soon as we got engaged.

I do not even know where to begin, that is how amazing and flawless Amy is with Blush Bridal. She single handedly made my wedding a glowing success and John and I will never forget her. She thought of all of the details and even allowed us to use her cake cutting set from her own wedding since we did not have one! She is so selfless and was always available when we needed her. Amy was a perfect liaison between our vendors and us and made sure that we did not have to deal with any issues. Amy went above and beyond her role in making sure that our wedding was perfect and above and beyond her contract as well. I will tell all of my friends about her and I hope that you decide to use her as well. I highly recommend Blush Bridal and I know that you will be thrilled with their experience, professionalism and attention to detail. They are 100% amazing!

My experience working with Amy and Blush Bridal was nothing but the best. I started by meeting with 3 different wedding planners. There are many reasons I went with Amy, but the first main thing that caught my attention was that she was animate that whatever our budget for the wedding was that it would be beautiful and perfect.

I had a very long engagement and thus a long time to plan my wedding... throughout the entire time Amy where there for me to bounce my ideas off of and offer suggestions. This was really important to me because despite my wedding being over a year away (at the beginning of our relationship) she made me feel very important. While others thought it was silly for me to be planning some details so much in advance, Amy saw the importance of this to me and helped facilitate and make my planning possible.

When we hired Amy my parents were very skeptical that we needed a planner at all. But as the months got closer, and we started giving Amy all the contracts and the remaining to-do lists they started coming around. And at our final meeting a week before the wedding my Dad even said "I'm SO glad you hired her, we couldn't have done it without her. She thinks of everything and is amazing!" That was a big step for him and shows how much Amy impressed him. And it's true. She did think of all the little details that I didn't think of (which is saying a lot too - because I pretty much thought of everything!).

Knowing that she was going to contact all the vendors and make sure everything would happen just as it was suppose to gave me a huge sense of relief. She also did such an amazing job finishing up all my loose ends and finishing the tedious things that I left of my to-do list for last minute. Not only were all of those things taken care of (like ordering some ribbon and tracking down the impossible trumpet and organ player), everything was done in such a timely manor!

If anything on my wedding day, or leading up to the day, went wrong - I had no idea because Amy was there to handle and troubleshoot it all. Everything turned out so beautiful because of her help planning and also because of her coordinating the weeks before and the day of the wedding. I couldn't imagine the stress I would have had leading up to the wedding if it wasn't for her great services.

Amy and crew were fantastic! She was so helpful with the pre-day of errand running and tracking down of last minute details. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at my parent's house, so I traded her out of the actual rehearsal (since the space came with a wedding coordinator for the ceremony) and she set up and coordinated the caterers and rehearsal dinner folks for us while we were at the rehearsal. It made things so much simpler. It really was fantastic to have someone there who was looking out for the details while we just had fun the last 2 days. I highly recommend Blush. Thanks Amy!

We had such an incredible experience with Amy Nuttman, the owner of Blush Bridal. We only booked her for day of coordination, but Amy turned out to be an invaluable asset throughout our whole planning process. Our wedding day would not have been the amazing and successful day it was without her.

Amy really impressed us right from the start. The original venue we booked (without her help) unfortunately fell through, and I was in a panic to find a new venue that would hopefully fit most of our wishes. Amy surpassed our expectations and found the perfect place that ended up being so much nicer than our original venue. AND we were able to keep our wedding date- a Saturday in August!

We couldn't be more happy or pleased with Amy. She was always very responsive, flexible, and so well informed when addressing any of our needs. Her detail-oriented and highly organized nature put us at ease during the stressful moments, not to mention that we were doing all our planning from the east coast. She was an enthusiastic supporter of us and our wedding day, and made us feel like we were her only clients.

Our wedding day was a big hit with all our guests that many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Such a wonderful compliment to hear as a bride, and we know that it was due in large part to the tireless efforts of Amy. My husband and I also had the freedom to just have fun and enjoy the day with the confidence knowing that Amy had everything under control. It was such a pleasure getting to know her over the nine months that we worked with her. We are really going to miss her!

I was recommended to Blush by another wedding planner for another company, and I am so glad she did because Blush Bridal Consultation Group helped to make our Wedding Day PERFECT! Sidarany Sletten was our wedding coordinator for the day of our wedding and night before (rehearsal) only. Every correspondence with Sid and Amy was thorough, professional, and prompt. I never had to worry about a THING. Sid was punctual with all her emails, phone calls, and with the rehearsal and wedding. She brought things to my attention that I didn't even think of. She was a true lifesaver when it came to planning. The only slight thing I would offer Blush Bridal and their consultants as a small bit of constructive criticism for future events is to not open every single bottle of champagne and every single case of beer. There were only a few bottles of champagne that were never poured, but they went bad; and we had to re-pack almost half the beer cases the next day. It was WONDERFUL that they were trying to be proactive and they definitely were SUPER helpful on everything, but that's my only recommendation. I do cut some slack though, because that's something that is usually done by a catering company and our wedding was a little different. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Blush Bridal to anyone looking for an AMAZING wedding planner. "uncompromising service. unlimited design. unparalleled results" Their slogan couldn't be any more perfect. Thanks again, Sid and Amy, for contributing to the happiest day of our lives!

Mandi is AWESOME! She did such a great job leading up to and the day of our wedding. Everything was perfect! She is so helpful and informative...

Amy from Blush Bridal Consultation Group provided exceptional service in helping me plan my wedding. From the time Amy was hired until my wedding date she made me feel like my wedding was the only one she was planning. Throughout the entire process Amy acted professionally, emails and calls were always answered promptly, she was incredibly organized, and detail oriented. Amy provided me with a wonderful selection of other vendors to choose from, without ever making me feel pressured to use anyone she suggested. Amy and Blush Bridal continually went above and beyond in the service they provided; which allowed for the planning of my wedding to be stress free. I would highly recommend Blush Bridal Consultation Group to anyone who is looking for help in planning a wedding in the Portland area.

I found Blush Bridal on-line - searching for consultation as an out of town mother of the bride looking for planning support. From the initial phone meeting to the first in-person meeting to the wedding day, the service was just what we needed. Blush provided three contacts each for the major vendors and scheduled the interviews with the vendors. The vendors were professional and within budget; the result was a terrific photographer, florist and source for invitations and other wedding accessories. Blush consulted with us as we worked through all of the details up to the wedding day - answering our questions and finding additional suppliers as we made those choices. Blush worked hard at the rehearsal continuing to manage many details and on the wedding day. We were so lucky to have chosen Blush Bridal!!

Blush Bridal was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend them to help you plan and coordinate your special day. They offer several different types of packages for your pre-wedding and/or day of event so whether you need assistance for just the day of, or a little bit more help to coordinate your wedding day they can help you with that. I had a destination wedding, but I partnered with Amy and Blush Bridal Consultation to help plan my post-wedding reception celebration. Because my needs were slightly different, Amy worked with me to help me design a package that was right for my needs.

I would like to thank Blush Bridal, and Amy for making my wedding celebration perfect. The vendors Amy suggested I work with were top notch, fit within my budget range, and provided excellent services. Amy was my rock! She was there for me everystep of the way, every question, every concern etc. She helped take a ton of stress off of me and handled all of the follow-up with all of the vendors and took care of everything after the event was over.

Thank you Amy and Blush Bridal for all you have done!

We booked Blush for the Final Countdown Package and it was one of the BEST things we did in planning our wedding.... Amy was very helpful in walking us through our plan for the day and helping us figure out all those little things that could have slipped through the cracks. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends!

Amy Nuttman at Blush Bridal was a lifesaver!! My husband, Jeff and I could not have done it without her. She was highly organized, had great ideas and was just a lot of fun to work with! Out of all the costs associated with weddings we feel the money we spent with Blush was worth every penny. We would highly recommend Amy and Blush Bridal for your wedding planning.

I know it's been said ad infinitum, but it really is true. Hiring Amy from Blush Bridal was the best decision that I made about my wedding, hands down. I opted for the premium package as my job is very demanding and my mother was unable to assist as were my friends, due to their obligations and responsibilities. I hadn't a clue about where to begin or really what was involved. I just knew I wanted a wedding that would be warm and welcoming and basically a fun party with all the people we loved. I haven't lived in Portland very long so my knowledge of who did what for how much was minimal at best. I found Blush Bridal through an internet search and called for an appointment. At our first meeting I was flustered because I was totally clueless but Amy set me immediately at ease. When I left I knew I wanted Amy on my "team" to help me with my big day. She immediately proved my decision to be the correct one. I had a year and a half to plan and she was involved and on top of things immediately. We got my vendors all lined up quickly - and she was so amazingly on-target about supplying a list of vendors for me to interview that "got me". We amassed a fabulous group of vendors for my wedding and each and every one of them told me that I had one fabulous wedding planner leading the charge. They all spoke highly of her ability to work with them and her coordination skills are well known in the industry and highly respected. I learned it's really a small tight group of wedding vendors in the Portland area and Amy is one of the most respected in the industry.
I had one little bump in the planning when I realized that the photographer I originally selected as our photographer was not the right one for us. The photographer was an amazing professional but just not the one for us. Amy was great in helping me correct that situation leaving all egos intact. Did I already mention what a consumate professional she was? And then she scurried to find the photographer that was perfect for us. Happiness all around!
As the wedding approached, Amy managed to keep me on track and focused on the important things big and small. We had a medium sized wedding at a vineyard with over half the guests from around the world so the coordination involved was intense as we had events the entire weekend that Amy helped design and coordinate as well. So we not only had a wedding ceremony and reception but a bride's lunch, groom's golf outing, cocktail party, wine tasting outing and an after party. As the clock ticked down I thought I would freak out but amazingly I was able to enjoy my friends and family and let Amy handle all the details. It was everything I ever dreamed it would be - and yes, all the guests are still talking about it and how it was the most beautiful, classy, elegant yet fun wedding they had ever been to... and you know, that's when it hit me. Amy asked me that first day what I wanted my wedding to be and I remember I said, "I want it to be a fun party but classy and elegant if that's possible." And it was, thanks to Amy.
I'll quit rambling and waxing poetically about Amy now but I wanted to end it with how much Amy grew to mean to me personally. She became more like a sister with a streak of mother in her (to corral my spending and grandiose ideas) while maintaining her professional edge. An unbeatable combination that you want on your team as you plan the day of your dreams.

Thanks to Annemarie and the rest of the team at Blush Bridal, I was able to be the bride at my own wedding! As a professional event planner, I didn't even think that was possible. But from our first meeting Annemarie was completely professional and gave me great confidence that her team could be my logistics minions. :) I hired them for one-month services and did all the pre-planning myself. They were a great sounding board when picking vendors. Blush definitely went the extra mile for me - storing my wedding decorations during my move, find extra staff to help with set-up, and calming me down when traffic make our rehearsal start an hour late and when unexpected guests needed to be seated. And the best part is, none of my friends or family had to get up at 5 am or stay until midnight to set up or clean up my wedding! Blush Bridal's services was one of the best investments I made in planning my wedding. Highly recommended.

Amy and Blush Bridal were great to work with. Amy was ALWAYS very responsive--every time I emailed or called, she got back to me immediately. She was sooo easy to work with--a real pleasure, in fact. She was also terrific at picking up the pieces that always fall apart at the last moment--going the extra mile (literally!) to find a microphone that actually worked, offering to pick up the wedding pies, etc. Then she stayed way late to clean up and get the venue back in order. She was terrific! I'm not sure what we would have done without her! Thank you, Amy!!!

We hired Erin with Blush Bridal to help with the 'day-of' organization and execution of our wedding, but it ended it being so much more than that. We met twice ahead of the wedding day and she prepared several important organizational documents for us. Erin was professional, organized and kind. I barely saw her on my wedding day, but I was confident that she was taking care of things behind the scenes. Hiring Blush was definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. Thank you Erin and Amy!

Our favorite consultants in the area! Amy and her team are top-notch people, always pull of fabulous events, and are just cool to work with. Many of our top wedding films have been Blush weddings!

Utterly professional and creative. We love working with Blush!

Amy and her talented team really know what they're doing, and they do it all with a relaxed grace that is uncommon in the hectic world of wedding coordination & planning. We love working with Blush Bridal!

What a GREAT group of talented woman. We LOVE Blush Bridal!!!

It is always such a great pleasure to work with Amy and her team at Blush Bridal! Their positive outlook and attention to the details make my event life flow seamlessly. I love working with people who love what they do and this is so true about Blush. Cheers to Blush Bridal Consultation Group!

Lincoln and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy and her team at Blush Bridal Consultation Group! For starters, to know Amy is to love her. She is one of the most friendly and caring people that I've ever met. Her kindness, combined with her attention to detail, her creative vision, her organizational abilities, her excellent communication skills, and her professionalism make her one of the best wedding planners in Portland. Most recently, we worked together at a wedding in wine country that was one of the loveliest and most spectacular events that Lincoln and I have ever had the opportunity to photograph. During the planning process, Amy was great about keeping me up to date on the timeline and important aspects of the day. She helped facilitate easy and seamless communication between me and my client. On the day of the wedding, Amy and her team worked calmly behind the scenes to ensure everything went as planned. They were attentive and helpful to the bride, groom, and their guests as well as to the other vendors at the wedding. Needless to say, the wedding was a huge success and we had so much fun photographing it! We love working with Amy and Blush Bridal Consultation Group and we think you will too.

It is such a pleasure working with everyone from Blush Bridal. The owner, Amy Nuttman, and Vibrant Table have worked together for years on numerous weddings, large and small, simple and extravagant. (In fact, one of our favorite Blush Bridal wedding was Amy’s own at the beautiful Zenith Vineyard!) She and all her staff have never been anything but professional, energetic, creative and super organized. We always feel confident endorsing Amy and her team.

Until you are the bride and groom, you won't know how many questions will come your way, on your wedding day. With Amy and her talented staff, you will be able to relax and enjoy your one and only wedding day, worry-free. There's only one right answer, and that's, "Ask Amy." Recently she and her staff produced a fantastic wedding for Tim and Tristine, at the Hotel Vintage Plaza, in the candlelight wine cellar. What an intimate and elegant wedding, with every little detail attended to, by Blush Bridal experts. Result? Happy bride, happy groom and fun-filled wedding day. Please take a look for yourselves at www.blushbridalevents.com and leave every little detail to Amy and have the best wedding day, the happiest day of your life. Sincerely, Maureen Haley

With a tremendous amount of planning and preparation complete, Amy coordinates the wedding day with a calm demeanor that puts everyone at ease. No detail is over-looked as Amy and her associates take care of the behind-the-scenes matters so that the bride and groom can enjoy their day to its fullest. Vendors are kept apprised of what they need to know in order to perform at their highest levels. These two factors come together to create a successful stress-free day.

We have yet to perform at a Blush Bridal wedding that is not simply gorgeous, efficiently run, fun, and relaxed. These are the cream of the crop of consultants in our industry!

Amy and her team at Blush are TOP NOTCH. I've had the pleasure of working with Amy on several weddings and each time I'm amazed at how smoothly the entire day flows...from the early morning "getting ready" to the couples' last dance. Amy's positive attitude, professionalism and astute attention to detail are invaluable. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in utilizing local resources (venues, vendors, etc.), executes plans seamlessly and is quick to handle any little unexpected thing which arises on the wedding day with grace. Amy is professional, delightful to work with and always willing to go above and beyond. She has my very highest recommendation!

I have had so many brides tell me that hiring Blush Bridal Consultation was the best investment of their entire wedding! I would have to agree! As a professional makeup/hair artist I have seen first hand the difference that hiring a wedding planner can make for your wedding. Brides and the bridal party are so much more relaxed and focused on having a fun time together when there is a wedding planner taking care of all the other details. I love to see bridal parties just enjoying their time together and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Blush has an exceptional reputation and they deserve it. Blush weddings are always organized, on schedule and fun to be a part of!
You will enjoy the planning process with Blush from beginning to end as they are not only exceptional wedding planners but also super fun and easy to be around.

Blush Bridal Consultation Group provides exceptional service. These coordinators are detailed, thorough and passionate about realizing their clients’ vision. One thing that always strikes me with Blush weddings is how calm and collected these coordinators are on the actual day of the event. They don’t get ruffled easily and they help everyone—from the wedding party to family to guests to feel relaxed. After several years of providing music for Blush events, I would recommend them to my friends without reservation.

I love working with Amy and her staff. Attention to the little details while keeping the big picture in full view is what makes Blush the go-to coordinators. From initial consultation to the final dance, Amy and her staff work hard to make sure every event goes smooth. Blush is simply the best!

Amy, and All the girls at Blush, are just amazing! I first met the lady's of Blush when I started out in this industry 5yrs ago. They are still one of my favorite vendors and I recommend them highly!

They are some of the sweetest, kindest women you'll ever meet. They honestly have your best interest at heart and are extremely talented. Having a professional planner for your wedding will be one of the best investments you make for sure so do not overlook this step;)

Our experience with Blush Bridal has been 100% positive! Great organization, very calm, easy-going attitude, smart and savvy! These folks know how to make your wedding day super smooth, beautiful, and most importantly fun and relaxing for the bride and groom!

We LOVED working with Blush Bridal! Amy was so personable and went out of her way for everyone to make sure that we had everything we needed, including the vendors! I would refer Blush to all of our brides! Amy paid attention to every last detail and made the day go beautifully!

Blush Bridal is by far the best consultation/coordination you will find in Oregon. Amy and her associates are all professional, kind, helpful and clearly love what they do. Working alongside such professionals always makes the day run smoothly for all of the other vendors. I have known and worked with Amy for years now and I cannot recommend anyone more highly! Hiring Blush Bridal will be the best choice you make as you plan your wedding.

I've been working with Amy since she first bought Blush and I love working with her and her clients! She is very professional - organized, detail oriented, timely - and fun and warm to team up with as well. It's the best of both worlds!

I recently was the videographer at one of their coordinated weddings at the Portland Art Museum and everything about the day was top-notch. My job was easy because Blush was so prepared and followed the schedule to the T! I love Amy's calming yet organized attitude that makes the day run smooth. If you have Blush helping you out, all a bride has to do is relax and enjoy the day's adventure. I highly recommend their services!

We absolutely LOVE working with Amy and her crew at Blush! As videographers, many of the very best weddings we've had the privilege to film have been Blush weddings and we've still yet to shoot one that was not amazing! Amy and her staff are all extremely personable and easy to work with, whether you're planning the wedding of the year or a more intimate and cozy family affair, and their knowledge of what it takes to pull off the event you're dreaming of is such an asset when planning. We strongly recommend Blush Bridal Consultation Group!

Blush Bridal is a blast to work with at a wedding. Friendly and professional at the same time, they get the job done with a smile. And for professional photographers like us, having a well-planned, smooth-running wedding, with a competent coordinator at the helm, is a real delight to photograph.

Blush Bridal has a team of several coordinators that they'll match up especially with your personality and needs. I love this about them! They're all extremely experienced at what they do, and their weddings go off without a hitch, pardon the pun.
If expertise for a grand event is what you're looking for, Blush is for you.
