Much of the ceremony was based on Navajo customs and traditions as Nanibaa’ is a member of the Navajo Nation. Chairs were placed in a circle and in the center was an arrangement made on a large piece of bark.

The woodland theme was carried over for the centerpieces.

Reed College Chapel: the gorgeous woodwork in this very intimate chapel lends itself perfectly for woodland arrangements.

Thank you Joni for capturing it all!

While working  on a project, we gathered  a variety of texture and simply placed them on the work bench:

vines, striking  foliage and seedpods from the garden; kale, mini-eggplants and some fruits; berries, nuts and succulents; grasses, lichen, moss and river rock.

What fun centerpieces these would be for long tables!

Thanks  Joni for the great pictures!

the swirly seedpod from clematis: a favorite!
