Events During a Pandemic | What's there to celebrate?
In a time when so much is uncertain and everything we do is in unprecedented territory, no industry came to quite the screeching halt like the events industry.

EVENT SPOTLIGHT : Christmas in July!
We had so much fun creating this Christmas in July themed birthday party. When our client explained that he was throwing this milestone birthday party for his girlfriend and wanted to surprise her with the theme we were immediately on-board!

Stroke of Genius !
Ever have one of those moments where you are just so proud of an idea? Well that happened this week! We were setting up for a charity fundraiser at a gorgeous corporate office (yes that terrace is a place of employment for some lucky people!) . The design plan was working beautifully, lush white floral , accents of blue to match the corporate branding and a touch of candlelight and rose petals to add that finishing touch. Everything looked beautiful until the wind started. Ah

EVENT SPOTLIGHT : Elyana's First Communion
First, let us apologize for the lack of blogging last month. It has been a crazy few weeks and we promise to fill you in but first, lets take a look at one of my favorite dessert displays to date. Our client, and the mom of Elyana, did an incredible job with the sweets. She made almost everything and decorated each cookie , cupcake and cake pop! All we had to do was give her sweets a platform to shine and shine it did! The theme was sparkle with white, silver and pops of pur
