Rodeo Night, NLNU Biennial Conference

"Wild West Bonanza: NLNU Biennial Conference

October 27, 2022 Nursing delegates from across Atlantic Canada gathered for an unforgettable evening of camaraderie and excitement at the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland. This year's meet and greet was themed "Wild West Bonanza" to complement a lively performance by the Spirit of NL.

Our photo booth featured the NL Nurses Union sign as a backdrop, surrounded by rustic hay bales, cheerful sunflowers, and classic western hats. To enhance the Wild West atmosphere, we scattered additional hay bales and silhouettes throughout the venue. A creative covered wagon centerpiece was crafted from one of the tables.

Guests dined at tables adorned with red and white checkered runners and a variety of thematic centerpieces. These included a cowboy hat resting against a wood slice with sunflowers, gold wine bottles accompanied by sunflowers and handkerchiefs, and jute-wrapped wine bottles sporting glittery hats, red florals, and mason jars with floating candles.

To complete the immersive experience, each table was named after a fictional western town, whisking our nurse attendees away to a night of fun and adventure in the Wild West!"

Laura and Steven’s reception was the largest we had done since Covid entered our lives, I honestly thought the days of large weddings were gone but I was happy to see they are not! We dressed the tables in white cloths with no table runners to keep things simple to reflect just white and greenery with candlelight. The chairs were dressed in white covers but with no sash, the head table backdrop was also simple with a wooden sign provided by the couple hung behind them.

Ryan and Zack, The Gypsy Tea Room

Ryan and Zack had their ceremony and reception at the Gypsy Tea Room and given the nature of the room, you only need decor to accent as the space is beautiful on its own. For the ceremony, we added a backdrop in front of the wooden doors and the metal hexagon arch in front draped in black. We repurposed the centerpieces as aisle decor, which were composed of a wooden slab, with a glass terrariums placed on top, with votive candle holders and moss and greenery surrounding. We added royal blue sand to the terrarium to pick up one of the groom’s tie with a deep green succulent to match the emerald of the other groom’s tie. Fairy lights were added to the terrarium to give a lovely glow to walk down the aisle to. We dressed the guest tables and buffet tables in black. The only other request the grooms had was that they wanted orchids incorporated into the decor, so we added potted orchids to accent the bar, fireplace and ledges in the tap room.

A British Influenced wedding at Bally Haly

Leanna and Kyle, Sheraton Hotel Court Garden

Kyle and Leanna had their ceremony and reception in the same space in the stunning space at the Sheraton Hotel.

For the reception, we did white tablecloths, a collection of 5 cylinder vases with greenery surrounding them for centerpieces and accent candles to create a romantic candlelit dinner. Gold charger plates with white napkins finished the look.
