Delicately hand pressed petals of silk and lace, softly hand manipulated feathers curled to perfection, and hand stitched tulle veils round out Myra Callan’s designs, creator of Twigs & Honey. Twigs & Honey ® is based out of Salem-Portland, Oregon and officially began in early 2008 with the goal of introducing to others, a completely fresh and modern interpretation of hair adornments. Though Myra had been creating artistic pieces and accessories since she was a child, she became inspired to create a full line to the public after planning her 9-8-7 wedding with now husband, Matt.

 

Myra’s educational and professional background is less bridal and high-fashion than expected with a degree in Geography (M.A.) and an emphasis on Environmental Science, but she believes that this only lends to the unique and organic designs Twigs & Honey is known for. Echoes of her scientific background abound in her designs that are all “experiments” of color, form and texture. With a love for both feminine and masculine attire, a taste for earthy natural forms and architectural structure, and a soft spot for both vintage and modern aesthetics, Myra’s designs are a constant marriage of oftentimes, dichotomous styles. Completely self-taught, Myra continually strives to create innovative and exciting new designs that cater to all personalities. Myra has designed exclusive pieces for BHLDN and was commissioned by Ann Taylor to design and create handmade paper flowers for their window displays and accessory moments nationwide. Additionally, she has been a Featured Seller on Etsy.

Twigs & Honey ® pieces are made with attention to detail and an interest in fine craftsmanship. Since the first styles were released, the designs have included handmade and hand dyed or painted silk flowers, hand sewn embellishments and other intricate detailing. The Twigs & Honey ® line features hair adornments, headbands, birdcage veils, traditional veils, bridal jewelry, belts, boutonnieres, ring pillows, hats, shrugs, bouquets, corsages, everyday jewelry, fragrance and more! The line uses fine silks, feathers, laces, and vintage bits that result in completely unique adornments. Twigs & Honey ® pieces have been featured in The TODAY Show, Us Weekly Magazine, In Touch Weekly Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, Brides Magazine, Bridal Guide Magazine, LA Times, Destination Weddings Magazine, Weddings Unveiled Magazine, The DailyCandy, Portland Bride & Groom Magazine, Southern Weddings Magazine, WedLuxe Magazine, WellWed Magazine, Oregon Bride Magazine, Santa Barbara Magazine, Nonpareil Magazine, Get Married Magazine, Eco-Beautiful Weddngs Magazine, The Scene Magazine, Vermont Vows Magazine and many more. Twigs & Honey pieces have been worn by celebrities including Noureen DeWulf and Teresa Strasser. Twigs & Honey is also part of the Vendor A-List on 100 Layer CakeStyle Me Pretty’s Fashion Look Book and Bella Figura’s Trendsetters.

5 Steps to an awesome Wedding: Namans Catering

FIVE WEDDING STEPS

 Step 1:

Guesstimate your guest count.

Begin determining how many guests

you want at your reception.

This will help narrow down locations

and begin a budget calculator.

 

Step 2:

Set a date and location.

This helps us determine availability for your

Wedding date and the logistical limits for your chosen location.

Choose a location that can accommodate your guest count and suit the needs

of your personal style.

 

Step 3:

Begin your menu planning

Please see our “Menu’s” link to help you narrow down your choices.
Before your consultation, 1st choose the type of reception you want; i.e. heavy Hors d’oeuvres, Dinner Buffet, Seated Dinner, etc.
Then look at the corresponding menu’s and highlight different items you and your fiancé would like at your Wedding Reception
Try to choose a couple of heavy meat combinations (beef, poultry or pork) compliment them with 2 to 3 hot Hors d’ oeuvres, 2 to 3 cold Hors d’oeuvres, a couple of dips, fruit, cheese and vegetables to complete a well balanced menu

 

Step 4:

Reception lay-out and reception time line

After your consultation, we will then begin looking at your Reception lay-out and coordinating your rental needs as well as the time line for your Reception and the specific details regarding the “extras” every Reception requires.
Your personal Event Planner at Naman’s Catering will meet you at your location to determine the set-up look and feel for your reception.
We will then coordinate any rental needs with a local rental company. Check the “rental” link
We will also work with your Florist, Bridal Consultant, Cake Designer etc. to create a cohesive design for your Reception 

 

Step 5:

 

Finalize the details for your Wedding Reception

About 2 weeks before your Reception, we will get your final guest count and make any needed adjustments
Coordinate any last rental needs with regards to guest count changes and the upcoming weather forecast
Finally, we will review the set-up and delivery from the participating vendors for your Reception.
These 5 steps will ensure the success of your dream Wedding Reception! There are a lot of overwhelming details that can lead to stress in the planning process. Let the dedicated team at Naman’s Catering handle the details for your Reception and allow you and your family to enjoy your special day.

 

A special thanks to Namans catering for creating such a cool list of details to be aware of.

How else would you make for a fabulous reception
