Event Design and Decor Rises in Popularity

August 2nd, 2009

Pink walls, White tables, and Purple Chandelier's

It’s no secret that we began providing design and decor services about a year ago with our sister-company Millennium Design. I figured it was worth providing an update with some images from a recent reception that we provide lighting and drapery options at the MAC.  The photos are brought to you by CMAX Photography – A stellar photography company that any soon-to-be bride should check out.  The bride and groom, Nikki and Kris, were tons of fun to work with and I’m sure they’d say the same about us.

A well-lit cake

Our dearly-dreadlocked-DJ, Jason Clyde was their host for the evening and when I asked him if there was anything he’d like to reflect on for this blog post, he just smiled and said that “it was a blast” (Inside tip: If Jason, the laid back guy that he is, refers to a reception as being “a blast” it can go without saying that expectations were far surpassed … ).

Head Table Detail View

As for the design, we first washed the entire reception venue in a nice dark pink glow with our energy-efficient and vivid LED up-lights, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere for everyone. We furthered the design by drizzling the guest tables and cake with white pin lights, keeping them in sync with the overall flow to the room. We also pointed a few lights at the beautifully ornate chandelier’s on the ceiling; juxtaposing a gorgeous purple-blue hue to the surrounding pink walls.

Head Table

As for the head table … well, we’re quite proud. Serving as a focal point of the room we lit our white taipei silk drapery with the same dark pink as the surrounding walls, hung clear plastic beading to create a bit of texture, and framed the entire backdrop in black silk drapery, complete with pin spot lights shining down on each individual place setting from above.

Everything turned out perfect, and working with such a fun couple just furthered such a pleasant experience. Special thanks to CMAX Photography for the beautiful pictures and the MAC for providing us with such a flexible and accomodating staff. Of course none of this could have taken place without our fabulous bride and groom, Nikki and Kris!
