A Lime Green, Black & Silver Graduation

At the end of the school year, I had the pleasure of being involved in decorating our school hall for the year 7 graduation.  We have a beautiful hall (it is not at all like a sports shed!), so it was a lovely space to work with.  The main issue we had was that there was 200+ people for a sit-down meal, so making such a large space look good was our challenge!

Firstly, I will say that I will only take credit for the table centrepieces.  This is was my contribution, and I certainly didn't make all of these by myself - I couldn't have done it without my office buddy!  We used the method that I shared in this post on How To Make Tissue Paper Flowers.  The rest of the details were planned and executed by our very talented senior school deputy principal - who made this night a truly memorable event for all of the students involved.

So here are some snaps of what it looked like...

The flowers were arranged by a lovely grandmother from the school...

The foyer of the hall is pictured below...  We decorated the groundsman's golf buggy in fairy lights - the kids had a ball getting photos taken in there!  And with a few streamers and some spare poms, this little area was a very inviting entry into the graduation.

The cake was designed by one of our very creative year 7 students (it was their Term 4 Technology and Design unit), and was actually made by one of the very clever mums at the school.  It looked (and tasted) amazing!

It was such a lovely night to be involved in.  The kids had an absolute ball, and I am so glad that some of their final memories of primary school will be fond ones celebrated in our very own school hall.
