' am going to write about the decora- 

 '! 18 for a wedding which took place in 

 " Congress Square church October 23. 

 ' ice this wedding is the big event of 

 ' season here, and the decorations were 



isually beautiful, it seemed worthy of 

 '' ntion in the Review. I will give you 



I'rief description of both house and 

 ' irch decorations. 



Hie decorations were by A. W. Dyer. 



•out 10,000 flowers were used. One 

 ' I'tered the church through an avenue 

 l^f palms and ferns. The chancel of 

 '"(' church was draped with southern 

 ■ nilax, the altar desk having been re- 

 i''«ved and a mound of yellow chrysan- 

 ^I'emums built up in its place. The walls 

 •^'^j either side of the chancel were draped 

 "ith smilax, relieved with small bunches 

 "f pink and white cosmos, of which 3,000 

 ^^■"e used, the whole being lighted up 



with tiny electric globes concealed by the 

 smilax. On the broad gallery rail were 

 pots of Boston ferns, their long fronds 

 falling over the smilax, which completely 

 hid the gallery from view. All through 

 the smilax were yellow chrysanthemums, 

 of which 4,000 were used. The organ 

 loft was massed with ferns and palms. 

 A window in memory of the bride's 

 mother was decorated with smilax and 

 chrysanthemums. Forty pews were re- 

 served by bunches of the same flower 

 tied with green chiffon. The brides- 

 maids, six in number, carried arm bou- 

 quets of chrysanthemums. The flower 

 children carried baskets of white cosmos, 

 and the bride's shower bouquet was of 

 valley and Farleyense fern. 



At the house the canopy leading from 

 the carriage curb to the steps was banked 

 with fir trees and on the steps to the door 

 were palms and ferns. All through the

fir trees were electric lights, and an elec- 

 tric fountain added to the beauty. The 

 walls of the house were draped with 

 southern smilax, while the fire-places in 

 the parlor, reception and dining rooms 

 were banked with palms and ferns. In 

 the parlor Killarney roses were used, 

 with mums in the reception room, and in 

 the hall American Beauties. In the 

 dining room Bichmond roses were used, 

 while the centerpiece for the table was 

 orchids and Farleyense. Smilax and 

 chrysanthemums were used above-stairs. 



Decorations by A. W. Dyer are sure to 

 be good, but for beauty of decoration 

 this one has surpassed the others. He 

 also had the decorations for the formal 

 opening of the Portland Club at its 

 new home in the new Baxter block, Oc- 

 tober 18, in which he used smilax and 

 white and yellow chrysanthemums.

Qttb Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 State Florists' Association, held in this 

 city, October 19, was well attended and 

 most interesting. The picnic committee 

 made a final report, showing all bills paid 

 and a balance on hand of 6 cents. The 

 committee appointed to draft resolutions 

 of sympathy to be sent to Mrs. Governor 

 Johnson reported, and the resolutions were 

 spread on the records. A letter from the 

 secretary of the State Horticultural Soci- 

 ety inviting the florists to make exhibits 

 at the annual meeting of that society in 

 December, was read, and on motion the 

 Florists' Association decided to make ex- 

 hibits. Twelve new members were elected. 



J. Jorgenson, of the L. S. Donaldson 

 Co., exhibited some fine roses grown at 

 their place, which scored the following 

 points: Bride, 93; Bridesmaid, 821^;
