Susan G. Komen /Lunch For The Cure

I am overjoyed to tell you that Honor has been selected as the florist for the Susan G. Komen Lunch for the Cure event later this month. Thank you to Ann Berryman and the rest of the board for trusting me and my team with this great privilege.  The luncheon will be a great chance to discuss the phenomenal milestones that have been achieved in cancer research and community access to medical care plus looking forward to what is ahead for the organization. Portland's own New York Times Bestselling author, remarkable mother and advocate, Cheryl Strayed will be this years guest speaker.  It is no wonder that they sold out quickly and had to add more tables. 

With over 51 tables in the ballroom there is opportunity to do a couple different centerpieces throughout the room. That way it is not a "sea of sameness" when guests walk-in. Of course the color pink is synonymous with Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, but this year we are going to do monochromatic pinks with touches of soft grey and chartreuse green. We wanted to make sure the flowers were seasonal, appealing to both men and women and were something that guests could enjoy well after the event. So we landed on doing happy cyclamen plants for the bistro tables in clear glass and a mixture of fragrant hyacinth and scented geranium arrangements in simple grey box vases along with robust azalea plants in a modern grey cement planter. All accented with living mood moss. Very cool. I will post pictures as soon as I can!
