Headed up by Sarah Norris, decor involves decorating the ceremony site and picnic shelters to make it look weddingy. This also includes recyclable paper plates and cups that may be decorated beforehand, along with centerpieces and butcher paper table cloths with sharpies available for guests to decorate. Sarah also has "hangy-down things" from home that's she's offered to let us borrow.
I was thinking of making garlands of paper cranes, which can be assembled beforehand. When we take the garlands down, we can give them out to guests as party favors! Brilliant! All we need is some Origami paper and a few hands.
As for the wedding site, we could use streamers to tie between the ring of trees, and tie up the occasional bunch of flowers. There will be an altar to decorate, we'll need a fabric cloth. The eucharist items can come from the abbey.
UPDATE 7.17
I have 70 cranes so far.
Green light on lit candles at Gasworks park.
Siobhan has offered to help with decor set up. (Thanks!)

I bought 16 vases at Ikea today. I guessed two per table for eight tables, and I can always get more or take some back as necessary. I also got a bunch of votive holders, with votives to go in them, and now I'm wondering if we aren't allowed to have candles at Gasworks--did we find out about this?
Green light on the candles! We can have them lit as long as they're not "too extravagant".
