The Smallest Post Office in the United States Here in the Columbia River Gorge
Bridal Veil post office is one of the smallest post offices in the US (only 2 others are smaller) at 100 square feet. Almost 125 years old, it stays open mainly due to its highly sought after postmark which attracts thousands of brides who bring their wedding invitations to Bridal Veil. In the height of wedding season the post office can be filled with thousands of wedding invitations waiting for this special postmark. Here’s a tip though, the post office needs revenue to stay open and merely postmarking an invitation doesn’t produce revenue. So call or stop in and purchase your stamps from them as well to help insure this wonderful little tradition can continue. Who wouldn’t love to get a wedding invitation postmarked from Bridal Veil, OR?
Champagne Wedding & Event Coordination 30 Days of Vendors
Trains (the gown kind, not the choo-choo variety)
Having worked in the wedding industry for over 12 years and at a variety of venues, I can tell you with absolute conviction that the gown you select needs to match the venue you have chosen. Getting married on the beach? A 12 foot train gloriously decorated with beadwork is probably not the best idea. Do you really want to be tightly corseted and covered in stays while traipsing like a wood nymph in a forest glen? A dress style that doesn’t fit the venue or is uncomfortable because of your surroundings is a bad idea.
