We are lucky enough at Digs to be hired occasionally by a large international sportswear company to help them with decor for some of their biggest and most fun parties / meetings. Yesterday we did a winter decor - without being Xmas - at a beautiful lofted space in the Pearl District of Portland. There was a sit down meeting for 200 and a few happy hours afterwards.
Luckily, I had some great help to make things easier! My trusted friend Todd McAllister of On Stage was a lifesaver, my trusty assistant, Miss Arnica and my new friend Eric really pulled out all the stops to make this a great event - thanks guys!
We had a limited budget and yet still created a beautiful atmosphere.........
A comfy seating lounge area surrounded by a see-thru screen to create a separate space from the meeting area.........white and blue were our colors....
Lounge area from the outside........ creating kind of an entry hall... Note the red lit bar inside the screen.
On the other side of the seating lounge. Cafe tables using traditional Chiavari chairs with a bit of a twist...acrylic. We changed the bulbs in the lights to blue fluorescent as well as the lights inside the soffits on the columns. It provided a lovely glow and made the chairs look like they were glowing. The table cloths were blue / red iridescent and tied together the blue lights and the red light of the bar. The simple white cyclamen in the white pot with a little bit of floral glitter spray gave just the right amount of sparkle.
The event space has a series of support columns spaced throughout so we had a TON of red twig dogwood and vine maple branches crystal flocked and used tulle to strap them to the columns.
Vignettes of frosted dogwood and ceramic spheres as well as tall pots of twigs.....
A white peacock suspended from the ceiling welcomed the guests to the space......
We used Drake's 7 Dees Nursery to do our flocking and they did an amazing job and were a true pleasure to work with!
The stage area.......The event turned out great and everyone had a great time and we heard that they loved the decor! YIPPEE! i love it when it all works out!
Gorgeous mixture of color as always...lighting, lighting is lavish.. the outdoors come indoors.. makes me miss the modern along with the lines of natures design...
