Are you searching for party favors or wedding decorations? Portland, Oregon has many options for you. Try to match your décor and party favors to your event's theme. A Leach Botanical Garden wedding, for example, could make good use of small potted herbs or packets of flower seeds as favors.

Let's say you're holding your wedding amid bald eagles at the Oregon Zoo. Your wedding favors could include small plush birds or donations in your guests' names to protect endangered avian species. For the DIY couple, you can make small bags of wedding favor cookies in the shapes of animals.

Balloons are an affordable way to decorate a large space, and Portland has balloon artists who can create large arches or centerpieces for your venue. Just be careful to check existing regulations if your event will be in a Portland park, as balloons can get away and become litter.

Wondering how to decorate your space? Arranging party decorations doesn't have to be stressful. If you're not feeling artistic, Portland has design specialists you can hire to make your party decorations match the tone you envision perfectly. Custom-painted backdrops make excellent party decorations, especially if you plan to host a party annually and can use the same decorations again. Also look for inflatable party decorations, like palm trees, to set a scene with minimum fuss.

Wedding decorations should reflect the couple getting married; after all, it's their big day. Since Portland is famous for its rose gardens, locally-grown roses make superb wedding decorations. What could be more romantic than large bouquets of blooms or scattered rose petals? You can also carry Portland's rose theme into your wedding favors by sending your guests home with rose-scented soaps, rose petal tea, or rose-shaped jewelry.
