Breast Cancer Awareness Event Decor

It's the Marine Corps Birthday Ball tonight (basically prom for the military) so I will be out at the Governor Hotel in Portland all evening. Since that's the case, I decided I'd show you a few decor photos from the Breast Cancer Awareness Event I coordinated last night at Wellspring for the Silverton Hospital Network. This was an event aimed at creating awareness about breast cancer and how doing simple lifestyle changes can actually help prevent breast cancer or help your survival rate once you have been diagnosed. It was a fabulous evening, and everyone loved it. We're hoping to continue this event annually in the future.

The centerpieces once assembled. I rented the vases, purchased the flowers from a local flower store, used rocks I had left over from another event, and purchased the 2 ribbons which are adhered to each other and later the vase.


The tablescape was a black tablecloth, with pink napkin square, a mirror square on top of that (bought from a local hardware store 6 for $9), two votives on the mirror, and the centerpiece. We also did pink and white napkins on the tables. Our overall color scheme and all marketing materials were in black, pink and white. The dress form was covered in an apron from our boutique, The Source, and I made a "bra" out of many pink ribbons tied to floral wire and then tied to the form. It created a great focal point for the event. We offset our HDO tables with the extra gerbera daisies. Finally, our guests took home "Awareness is Empowering" bags with hand sanitizer and information on breast cancer. This was our display table.

Total cost for all decor, roughly $150! What a deal!

Sorry to not be totally detailed, but I'm trying to get out the door. If you have any questions about decor that was shown here, just email me!
