The Flourish event on April 10th at the Mississippi Ballroom was a huge success!! The show was the perfect setting for the gathering of the North Mississippi Crowd. The room was filled with plants and flowers from Pistils and birdcages and lattices from Flutter. The evening was a benefit for the Escuela Viva School in North Portland. The turnout was amazing !! We had a packed house with people peeking in the windows from outside.
Steven Humphrey of the Portland Mercury MC’d the fashion event and
DJ Mr. Mu Mu cranked up the tunes and out
came the models. All the stores involved gave their unique flavor and style in a great representation of what
Mississippi Street has to offer.
JE Salon
owner Jason Eckeberger and Stylist David Scott created a creative and
fun vibe for stores Gypsy Chic, Sameunderneath, Blue and Blue Sky Wellness with help from Theo Alto a fellow stylist here in Portland
and Glen a stylist from Seattle. Belle Epoque Salon stylists Kristen Lee and Maggie also lent their
creative hair designs with Pin Me Apparel, Phlox, and Black Wagon.
The show was followed with a silent auction and raffle and people with their goodies spilled onto Mississippi Street and shopped the night away with store after parties and discount shopping.
Heidi-Style considers Flourish 2 a huge success and looks forward to the next Flourish event in September. Many thanks to all who participated: The stores on Mississippi Avenue, food from Por Que No? and Mississippi Pizza, the volunteers who helped at the door and alcohol garden, Bridge City Promotions for donating the beverages and especially to all the community for their support.
