Fabulous 21st Birthday Celebration!

It's a sophisticated, glamour-filled 21st birthday party celebration and SD Events was invited.  It's great to see a spike in the small, fun party with fabulous decor and atmosphere.  To keep a casual, fun pool vibe, we used jewels, stones and crystal accents which chic and hip can be used in SO many different ways.  So, we said "hey, let's make it our Trendspotter Tuesday piece" - done!

Using jewel tones, Moraccan flare, we created a gorgeous backdrop for Marissa's party.  Bold colors of orange, aqua, and green were at the forefront accented with satin fuschia linen with modern, trendy clear acrylic mirage chairs. We hung pink and green orchids from the ceiling for extra drama. We topped it off with an abundance of votives and candles across the table at various heights to add sparkle and create the perfect mood lighting for a fabulous, festive night!

Thanks to Hotel Indigo for their amazing staff and Honey at Lotus Designs along with Rentals Unlimited for making it happen.   You all are amazing to work with!!

TRENDSPOTTER: Photo Booths

     It's Tuesday and who doesn't need a little papa razzi action!  Silly face, kissing face, happy face, and sad face are  just a few of the many different poses inside of a photo booth.  The concept of photo booths brings back memories of childhood, movie theaters, and malls.  Everyone has at least one memory of when they were younger going into a photo booth with either a best friend or a boyfriend/girlfriend.  Within minutes a strip of pictures prints out and you have successfully captured all of your different emotions in one photo!  They are great keepsakes that form memories of certain events, people and places.
    
 While the photo booth has been done and by itself not unique, we are taking it a step further to add some twists to this old standard.  Project some of the images onto a wall in a lounge or cocktail area for guests to enjoy.  Complemented with  backdrop of soft lighting or patterns, you are also adding an element of decor that will creat the perfect atmosphere for your guests to celebrate.  Making something old and borrowed, new and fresh.
