Letters from the Planners

Just Elope! // Wedding Tips // Champagne + Linen // Western Montana Wedding Designers & Planners

1/28/2018

So you recently got engaged!? Congratulations! You should elope!
Champagne + Linen is a Montana based wedding design and coordination business. They specialize in big weddings as well as elopments. Champagne and Linen belives you should elopment becuase it is budget friendly, you have more control, and it is intiamte. Picture
It is no secret that we love elopements here at C+L Land. We wanted to discuss some key reasons why an elopement might be a valid option for you more adventurous couples. Or for couples who are working with a tighter budget. Or for couples who just simply don’t want to deal with the headache of planning a wedding.
Budget // Okay let's get the big reason out of the way. Eloping is cheap af. Or you can make it as expensive as you want. Because guess what friend? You have complete control over the budget.

Control // There are less elements to planning an elopement. Again, meaning you are in complete control. No need to worry about seating charts and family drama.

Intimate // There is nothing more intimate than elopements with very close friends and family. We are talking less than ten people if that. Or no one at all. You are under no obligation to invite your great Aunt Suzy who sends you a $5 bill every year for Christmas.

Sexy // Lets face it, eloping is extremely romantic. It is just you focusing on your significant other and celebrating your love. We cannot tell you how many couples tell us that they feel like they are planning their wedding to please their family. 

Location // Two words: Destination elopement! We want to do a Glacier National Park elopement. We dream about it in our sleep. The vision is clear.

Here are some other kick ass elopement destination:
  • An aquarium
  • Las Vegas (Cliche but awesome)
  • On a yacht in the middle of the Mediterranean (Per Ariel) 
  • The Grand Canyon
  • Resort in Mexico that makes you feel like you are still in the United States 
  • A museum (Per Mariah) 
  • A place that is meaningful to you (I.E your backyard? Idk what what’s meaningful to you.) 
  • Carmel, California 
  • A rooftop if you will
  • A botanical garden 
  • Florida Keys 
  • Any national park really (Per Alicia)

Split It Up // You don’t have to choose! You can easily have a small cozy ceremony and though throw a huge reception for all of  your family and friends later on.

The most important thing is you and your partner and an elopement is the perfect way to celebrate the two of you.

Champagne + Linen, western Montana wedding planners and designers, are celebrating their one year anniversary! The founders had a celebratory photoshoot with sparkly bridesmaid dresses and champagne.
HAPPY 2018 FRIENDS!! In case you missed it, we did a recap of our 2017. 

Now sip on champagne (what we do best) and focus on 2018!

As you may or may not know, one year ago today we launched our website here at Champagne + Linen. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US! If you want a good laugh, here is our very first blog post. Still valid for any celebration. Started from the bottom, now we're here.
​

Needless to say, New Year’s has a fond place in our hearts at C+L land, so we knew we wanted to do something big to celebrate this milestone. We teamed up with our two friends Tiffany with Tiffany Photography and Shannon with Velvet Bride and did a celebratory, glitzy AF anniversary shoot. We are excited to show these amazing photos with you!

They say you should write down your New Year’s Resolutions to hold yourself accountable. So here’s ours:

C+L’s Resolutions

PERFECT OUR CLIENT PROCESS // We want to be a well oiled machine. We are excited to take advantage of this “off season” to perfect the C+L experience. 

STYLED ELOPEMENT // We want to style an elopement - preferably at a national park!

BLOG POSTS // We want to start providing YOU with one wedding related blog post a month. We already got a timeline in place, we just gotta stick to it!

NEWSLETTER // Did you hear? We started a newsletter that will be chalked full of wedding designer and planning tips. Our goal it to have it sent out once a month. (Sign up here!!! You get a free emergency kit list when you sign up!).

BOOKINGS // We want to book 10 weddings for 2019 (2018 is going to be amazing, but we have a feeling 2019 is going to be our year).

NETWORK // We want to make more personal connections not only with our couples and clients, but with the wonderful vendors we work with. C+L is all about personal touches that is more meaningful than email chains. We want more coffee (or drink…) dates with other creative souls.

FOCUS ON OUR FRIENDSHIP // We want more wine and pizza nights. We want to plan some kind of C+L retreat. And we want to take more professional photos, because we had a blast taking these photos with Tiffany!

Alicia's Resolutions

PATIENCE// Unfortunately, I have no patience. I want instant results - immediate email responses, make all the updates to my house, travel the world. I want it all and right now. I need to start taking a step back and focus on the now. 

RENOVATIONS// Redo our master bath! My lovely family got us barn door hardware and a new bathroom faucet which sparked my desire to get this project (finally) going. I’m talking farmhouse sink, concrete countertops, and lots of painting. I’m thinking if it all goes well we’ll redo the other bathroom too.

GET OUTSIDE // I want to explore more. Last year, all I wanted was to get out of this country. This year, I want to explore more locally. Well at least the western side of the country. Hit up national parks in Utah. Raft more rivers. See more of the PNW, it kills me that I grew up there and didn’t take advantage of it as much as I could have!

C+L // Ever heard of an introverted wedding planner? Well that's me! I love the idea of networking but it's hard. I'm going to try really hard not to hide behind emails, but to get face to face with people more often.

Ariel’s Resolutions

BE BETTER // I want to be better. Better in my physical health, better at my job, better at my marriage. This year I truly want to work to just be better in my life.

THE AVERY YARD // I really want to get some landscaping done on my yard this summer. We moved in 6 months ago, and just didn’t get around to doing any of the things we wanted to the yard. 2k18 is The Avery Yard year.

SAVE // Another cliche, but I truly want to work harder at being better with money! I want to work hard, so I can save hard, and then play hard.
​

C+L // I want to work harder at improving C+Ls brand and devoting more quality time to our couples and making their visions come true. I would also love to be hired by more same sex couples!

Mariah’s Resolutions

#mybodyisatemple // I’m gonna start with a cliche resolution that is health related. I started a “weight loss journey” May of 2017. I’ve lost 25 pounds with a goal of losing 50 pounds in mind. Anyways long story short, I want to lose 25 more pounds this year. Anything over that would be gravy.

CREATE // A few people know this, but I want to write a book of some kind. I’m hoping to start on said book. I want to be more creative in general and spend some time every day writing and painting.

#levelup // This one is huge and we will see what happens, but I’m hoping to buy a house or condo this fall.
​
C+L // I want to do whatever possible to make C+L even more successful. I want to be a better business partner for my two best friends Alicia & Ariel. More importantly I want to help create the best possible planning/designing experience for our C+L couples.

We want to thank everyone who helped made 2017 so special for us! We could not have done this alone, and we appreciate the love and support. We have met so many new friends and amazing people, and we look forward to watching these relationships grow.

Now enough about us! What are your personal New Year’s Resolutions?! Let's keep each other in check!
