Let There Be Light!!!!

   Prior to my coming to South Carolina, lighting in events was not really a consideration.  Social media has help evolve this widely used event design and decor must have, showing that your party budget can go a long way by adding in a few up lights.  This decor feature really packs a punch and now is one of the most widely used decor items in our company.  Virtually no Wedding, Corporate Event, Fundraiser etc... kicks off without some sort of ambient light.
   Carolina Event Services offers a wide range of lighting options, from the most commonly used LED Up lighting - Break Up patterns and Gobo's....to Crowd safe Club lighting- laser lighting and Pin Spots.  These options used by themselves or in tandem with each other create ambiance, texture, visual interest and can transform any space into an opulent event.  With proper placement, lighting can even hide items of disinterest and highlight items that need featuring.
   A couple of weekends ago we had back to back events in the same space.  Our client wanted each night to look different as some of the guests would be in attendance at both dance parties.  We combined, Up lighting, Break up patterns, Crowd Safe Club Lights and Lasers to transform the space each night.  And this is what we created.....

February Wedding Studio Feature Table

February's Table at the Wedding Studio was inspired by our recent showing at the Belk "Engagement Party" This Sweetheart Table look takes on a completely different feel when placed in a more dining friendly environment.

Belk "Engagement Party"

I was happy to receive a call from a lovely lady at Belk ~ a department store here in the Columbiana Mall.  She had seen our vendor booth at the most recent Bridal Expo and invited us to be part of their store "Engagement Party" that the Bridal Registry Department holds twice a year.  I thought is would another great way to reach out to Brides & Groom's once more this year before our next big show at the end of February so with the colors of Platinum, Ebony & Purple Heart in mind I created a look that was well received at the show.

 I always like to add in the table some sort of "Favor " like the Silver boxes tied with pretty Satin Ribbon. 

 

I love the look of Mercury Glass...and Vintage Carnival Glass... these unique something old something new pieces as seen in the "Genie Bottle" and the candy dish doubling as my floral vase were must have's in the design of this table. 

 Flowers in a variety of purple colors add another dimension to the table scape.  Here we mixed Plum colored Mums, Aubergine Rannunculous, Purple Heather, White and Purple Alstroemeria and Ivory Roses.

 Purple Chargers and fun Plum Floral designed Salad Plates yet another pop of color placed atop white silver rimmed Dinner Plates.

 I always say that the Black Spandex Chair Cover is the "Little Black Dress" for a chair.  Sleek and Elegant! 

We gave everyone a lot to talk about at the show and as always we strive to promote conversation with interesting table pieces.  It doesn't just have to be a floral centerpiece and more Interesting vases like the tall purple opalescent at the back is fun, unusual and memorable!
