B & C Mortensen Has Wonderful Products To Make Any Event Look Amazing

by Leave a Comment

Take your event from nice to stunning with functional and stylish portable archways, partitions, gazebos, pavilions, and display props from B & C Mortensen Wood Products, Inc. These touches of elegance are easily assembled, and they offer a plethora of options.

The goal at B & C Mortensen Wood Products is to offer the finest quality and most rentable props on the market. To do that, they constantly upgrade their materials and techniques. And it shows. All of their pieces have been made in a handcrafted, traditional way and are under strict quality control. Their products are made from wood because it is lightweight, does not rust, is easily touched up, is sturdy and rigid, and has the look, warmth and feel that customers prefer. They work painstakingly to ensure that you have a piece that will look perfect, while still being functional and relatively easy to use.

Their canopies look deceptively like a permanent structure, but have the portability you need thanks to its reinforced keyways and interlocking roof. No tools or hardware are even needed in this piece that will serve as a focal point for your event. If you prefer the look of lattice, they offer a lattice canopy with a pitched roof.

If you prefer a darker wood, they have a deluxe canopy in a fruitwood color. Their most popular arch is the deluxe archway and features a fully latticed arch. Another popular choice is the cape winds arch available in white or a fruitwood color; it’s a sturdier piece that comes in lattice or standard. Going beyond the standard choices, consider the love arch, aptly named due to its heart-shaped design. The lattice arbor is more simple but just as elegant.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking B & C is just for weddings. They have backdrops that would be the perfect thing for prom pictures or an anniversary celebration. One way to enhance a backdrop is to add sheer curtains and backlight them. Adding bouquets of flowers is a nice pairing for the Tuscan backdrop. Panels are sold individually and are hinged in sets of two, three, or four. Just one more way they are giving you more than enough options for your special event.

To finish it off, they offer workstations, easels, display risers, guest book stands, columns, a kneeling bench, aisle posts for plants, a portable bar, and even a wishing well.

If that isn’t enough, they can help you out with any custom needs you have, in a wide range of finishes and colors.

To make your event as special as it can be, give B & C Mortensen a look!

Forestique Makes Stunning Gifts Out Of Nature’s Beauty

by Leave a Comment

The designs of jewelry company Forestique make it simple and fashionable to connect with nature with all-natural pieces that are sure to make a statement!

Owner Henry Wischusen grew up surrounded by wood working tradition in New England and spent his childhood creating everything from tiny sculptures to boats.

Wischusen’s career was in the corporate world but after 35 years he returned to his roots of wood craft. With delicate wood veneers, he presents “all the beauty of the wood while maintaining my reverence to the forest.”

Wischusen’s designs are created with wood that is 1/40th of an inch thick, which shows the true beauty of the tree where it originated. The bracelets are sun cured, meaning carbon producing heaters and lights can be avoided.

Forestique bracelets are also never finished with dye stains or chemicals. Each wood creation retains its natural color with coats of Tung oil, natural citrus terpene, carnauba wax, and other natural substances. The natural wood material also ensures a perfect fit — the bracelets, while maybe tight at first, will gradually flex open and react to the fit of your wrist.

This flexibility comes from the strength of the wood. The bracelets are a one size fits all without the risk of damage or breaking!

Forestique earrings are also one with nature. Each pair is modeled after actual leaves and made from Koa and maple wood, and the pieces gently curve the way true leaves do in the fall. From dark and light browns to eye-catching golds, these earrings are the perfect accessory for any fall or winter outfit.

The wood-made pendants are also delicately created and mirror those leaves of the Ginkgo, Aspen, Muscadine, and even hops!

Even if jewelry isn’t where your interests lay, Forestique has you covered for the rest of the home. Durable cutting boards from the wood of Red Oaks, scrubs made of coffee bag fabric, and even a utensil set are all available to bring the outdoors inside!

Looking to organize? Try out a business card holder in gorgeous Ribbon Mahogany or Walnut, or a key holder in any shade of wood you can imagine. And even when you’re catching flights, Forestique has the perfect luggage tags that will make your bag stand out.

Forestique approaches fashion and home life with a sustainable perspective that brings the beauty of nature right to you!
