Congratulations to Daniela and Joshua on their wedding last weekend at Hunters Green Country Club.  Enjoy photos of the transformation we designed and installed for the ceiling that helped add to the fairy tale feel of the day.  Daniela chose an elegant palette of ivory and gold, accented by fuchsia in her bridesmaid gowns as well as the room up lighting.  Gorgeous pink peonies and soft pink roses were arranged beautifully by Apple Blossoms Floral Designs.  We enjoyed the opportunity to work with Daniela and her family in planning the decor for the wedding celebration!

This year, Event Design has been thrilled to be involved in planning the 2010 Pink Tie Gala located at Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay.  This fundraising event, held on Saturday, May 22, 2010, is near and dear to our hearts and we are so very excited to help benefit Florida Suncoast Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure Organization.

We have an amazing committee working on the event and are truly excited to make the event as successful as possible.  This event will be an elegant “pink tie” evening featuring live entertainment, a cocktail reception, dinner, dancing and fabulous auctions featuring one-of-a-kind experiences.

With over 2.5 million people living with breast cancer in the United States, it’s difficult to find a single person whose life has not been affected by the disease.

We are so excited to bring the Pink Tie Gala back for its second year.  75% of the money raised in the community stays in the community.  The remaining 25% goes towards the Komen National Research & Awards Grants Program, and together these programs have contributed over $1 billion to find the cure.

If you are interested in attending the event, making a donation, or possibly donating a silent auction item, please visit our website at http://komensuncoast.org or email us at Lindsay@myeventdesign.com

Join the fight for a cure!

Tiffany and Nathan were married at the charming and quaint Paseo Village, boasting beautiful backdrops of waterfalls and tropical Florida landscaping.  Fortunately, after a morning of quite a ‘good luck’ rainfall, the clouds parted and the sun made it’s appearance just 15 minutes before the ceremony began.  Because of the weather, we had to move both the ceremony and reception indoors but it made no impact on the day.  The intimate ceremony set the tone for an evening of love and laughter for Tiffany and Nathan’s family and friends!  Tiffany and Nathan chose a contemporary design style using soft tones of green and hints of coral and orange.  The bride’s gown featured a silk green wrap which matched her shoes! The reception kicked off with the motto: “Life’s short, eat dessert first” and the newlyweds cut and served the cake before dinner!  After dinner, guests were treated to gourmet desserts that matched the color scheme and were quite divine as well as an adorable Groom’s Cake, too cute!  A sweet ending for Mr. and Mrs. Riches! Congrats!

We had a blast working with bride Nancy on designing her Don Cesar wedding celebration which included a traditional chinese tea ceremony. Guests were treated to beautiful FL weather (although a bit windy!) and beautiful decor accents including hundreds of origami cranes hand wired on strands handmade by the bride herself! Just beautiful! The clients chose chocolate brown luxurious bengaline table linens that perfectly set off the gorgeous table decor including centerpieces by the talented floral designer Dana Dineen, with gold accents of our chargers and gold chiavari chairs. The room and traditions were complete with various shapes of red lanterns and the ambiance of up lighting to set the tone for the evening.  Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Luo!

Thank you Megan and Abe for the opportunity to be a part of your wedding! We loved every detail, down to the the flower dog’s pearl necklace and the rhinestones in your beautiful blush pink roses.  Your classic style was a designer’s dream to work with in helping you to achieve a gorgeous affair and celebration of your love for each other!   As always, we enjoy working at the the timeless Don Cesar. Our other favorites involve what else…the food!  8 flavors of cake with a decorated tier atop a unique cake stand for each guest table …and how could we forget the delicious buffalo wings for late night snack, tribute to a Jersey favorite of the bride and groom!  Thank you to the ever talented K and K Photography for sharing their stunning images from the day.  And to Dr. and Dr. Butz we wish you all the best!

Erin and John were married at the lovely Sheraton Sand Key.  Their beautiful ceremony took place right as the sun was setting providing the most gorgeous backdrop for their intimate gathering.  Erin walked down the aisle to “Take Me Out to The Ballgame” played by steel drummers and the two entered the reception under an archway of baseball bats – so fun!  We so much enjoyed being a part of their day and working with both Erin and John to design and coordinate a day that was a perfect reflection of them.  Working with our friends at A Fly On The Wall Photography is always a joy and we thank them for the talent in providing these gorgeous photos!
