Last week I participated in  "Tour d'Brides", a bridal show that was fabulously organized by Becky with No Ordinary Affair. The Mansion at the Bayou in McMinneville was one of the four venues that participated in the show. Thank you Irmi for providing such a great setting. Many thanks to Erica, with Erica Ann Photography, for the great pictures!

Last week's 3 day wedding/event workshop was so much fun! Jessica and Natalie were from Portland. Laurie came from California and Elizabeth traveled from Texas and they both stayed at nearby B&B's. 

As usual, it didn't matter that there were different levels of experience. Everyone was so talented and created fabulous arrangements. It was such a pleasure to share a lot of information and spend 3 days with all of you!

Thank you Laurie, for documenting the workshop! Here is a sample of everyone's work
