Last month  No Ordinary Affair organized and sponsored ( with Powers Oregon) a great networking event at Vista Hills Winery.

Jessica Hill Photography took  fabulous pictures – thank you Jessica!

Delicious food was provided by Premier Catering, beautiful menu cards were created by Water Lily Invitations and the bright colored linens were from Barclay Event Rentals.

What a fun class on Monday; everyone’s wreath was gorgeous! Feast your eyes…

“I had a really wonderful time. It was very rewarding to work on something
creative, spend time with my friend AND have all the tools and materials
set up and ready for me when I got to Françoise’s workshop. Plus, I got to
take home my wreath which I’m sure would have cost me twice as much as the class if I had bought it in the store instead. Françoise’s teaching style
is casual, creative and inspiring. In an hour, she had all of us making
wreaths that looked like they came from a professional! Paulette Carter

A few weeks ago I posted  ideas to decorate archways and chuppas.  There are many other choices to decorate ceremony sites. Often tall arrangements in vases or urns are a favorite.  But you can also embellish the ceremony site with garden arrangements or wreaths or decorate candelabras.

Two bright pink wreaths, suspended from a wooden pole, framed the ceremony site for Jandi and Jesse’s wedding. The poles were secured in containers covered with moss; lots of texture decorated the base of the pole.

This garden arrangement was a fitting backdrop for the ceremony at the First Congregational Church.
