Big XII...Mighty VII

From New York to Norman...this week has been full of creativity! About a year ago one of my favorite colleagues Laura asked 7 other of my OU co-workers to serve on a Big XII committee. She hosted other institutions at an official conference here at OU. So we brainstormed for a year on table ideas, menu options, and themes. Ta Da! We put our dreams into realities.

Of course Oklahoma can't have a national conference without including Will Rogers. It was seen on everything over the week, including the menus (seen above)!

I took a picture of this burlap we put in the vase to cover the stems of these flowers (since they are synthetic). I think it makes the arrangement seem earthy.

All the flowers were floating in water. It adds a natural and clean characteristic to the arrangements and centerpieces.

Here is the one and only picture we took the whole week. This night was a French theme since the dinner took place in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum.

White and black was the overall color scheme. My friend Michale literally made the feather concotions. I am inpired by his creative genious.

The finale dinner took place at the Sam Noble museum where it was a loud and vibrant colorful theme. This 'peacock' number was again, put together by Michael.

Bright lenins and huge brass stars and Japanese lanterns accompanied and layered the tables in vibrant tapestry.

What a fun week! Putting all our creative minds together, we can accomplish a lot...or just another week at OU.
