WEDDINGS AND OTHER EVENTS AT KHIMAIRA FARM

Decorations, Supplies, Equipment

We have a wide variety of decorations and supplies that are available for your use at events here at the farm, and it is ever growing as new things are left by couples every week! Unless a fee is listed, they are included free. Not all items may be available at all times. If you are interested in a specific item, please let us know.

Damaged, lost or stolen items may require replacement. If you want to leave your personal decorations here after the wedding, we can recycle them and make them available to others.

We're working on a more complete list and more photos, but here is some general information.

Candleholders: There are glass, ceramic, wooden and metal ones that range in style from very casual and rustic to formal silver. We have holders for tapers as well as pillars of various sizes. The hurricane candleholder/vases can be filled with colorful or natural stones or other materials to hold the candle inside. We also have canning jars plain and some wrapped with wire for hanging (small and larger jars). You will need to place sand or gravel or other material in the bottom of the jars to prevent wax dripping into the glass (client is responsible for cleaning anything that has wax residue after use). There are also various sizes of terracotta flower pots which can be trimmed with raffia and used as candleholders or can hold a small glass of water for flowers. You are welcome to use our candleholders, and you will provide your own candles. Tealights are workable for many of our candle holders, and we have a large number of glass tea light holders to use on tables.l
		For floating candles or flowers.



Easels: We have some table size easels to use for photos or announcements and also two large freestanding easels that can be used to display your program or other information. We have a matted frame that can be used with the large easels, so a regular 8.5x11 printed page or photo can be displayed. Just bring your photo or document to display.


Lanterns: We have red 'railroad style' oil lanterns that can be hung or sit. We don't use them on the tables, but they work well in outside areas. There are also other lanterns that can be used with candles throughout the garden, and some are suitable for tables.
Vases: We have simple glass vases as well as decorative ceramic ones. For some informal ideas, we have some wine bottles with goat designs on the labels that make a statement ;) They can hold a collection of fresh or dried flowers. We also have a variety of mugs with goat designs that can be creatively displayed with flowers or candles. Think about having a variety of items with some common themes. With a large group, there will be many tables, so you can mix flowers and candles nicely. We also have a variety of mason canning jars in several sizes.

Wreaths: We have 6" and 12" grapevine wreaths that you can use with a simple ribbon to for a very natural design, or you can add fresh, dried or silk flowers. They look nice hanging around the barn or hanging on our 30" standing metal wreath holders that can line the "aisle" for the ceremony. You can also use the wreath holders to drape tulle or other fabric. Object to hang should not be too heavy, or stand could become unstable. Wreaths also make a nice natural looking table decoration and small tealight holders or a vase of flowers can be placed inside. Wreath stand can also hold fabric or other decorations for aisles, or lanterns in the garden or other general decorating. It is approximately 24" tall.			Wreath holder with ribbon for aisle.
Trays, Platters, Bowls, Baskets, Mirrors: These can be used for food service, or for displaying flowers or other decorative items. There are a number with garden/botanical themes, as well as antique copper and wooden ones. If using candles, there needs to be something to line the bowl/tray to avoid wax contact. We also have some 6" and 8" mirrors that can be used with candles or flowers or other decorations.

Silk Flowers: There is a variety of silk flowers that can be tucked into arrangements or wreaths for displays. however, if you want something for a more formal display, we suggest purchasing a complete arrangement that you can then keep. We also have some silk ivy and flowers that can be used on the arbors.

Fabric: We have a variety of valance scarf panels including white, shades of purple, slate blue, royal blue, shades of green, gold, silver, yellow, orange and others that can be draped in the gazebo, and the door frame looking out at the mountains, or other areas. We have miscellaneous other fabrics that might be useful in decorating. We also have white fabric to use for ceiling canopy in the barn, and it is included with the wedding package. This doesn't completely cover the ceiling, but adds a nice effect	Using colored panels at end of barn.
You might also consider decorating the walls with fabric. To the right is what one client did. She used panels of sheer curtains to make a lovely color statement! The client (Lori Spiker ) also was kind enough to leave all of the curtain panels here for future clients to use! She more pictures from Lori's wedding here. Also, above on the right you can see curtains hung with lights behind. These were donated by Erin Hinson -see their pictures. The Chinese lanterns in the photo to the right belong to the client. These battery operated type lanterns are popular. They can also be hung without lights. We currently have some 8" cobalt blue ones; 12" in a variety of shades of tan and orange; and some 8" white ones.
Lights: We have tiny white string lights and some lantern string lights (right) that are generally used along the barn outside. Sometimes there are enough to use in other locations where electricity is available. We also have solar twinkle lights throughout the garden, and LED lights on the ceiling of the barn.
Quilts: We have a variety of quilts which we often use on the sofas and some are suitable for hanging on the walls as well. We try to work with your color theme to provide what works best for you. Equipment: We have ladders available for your use, as well as other common household equipment. Please ask in advance, to check on availability of specific items. Farm Implements/Tools: We have some working tools as well as "retired" rusted tools that might be suitable for country themes. This includes things such as shovels, rakes, wheel barrows, old harness and similar items. Bales of hay or straw are available @$2-3.00 bale (depends upon availability for the season).
