Non-profit Event Theme and Decor Inspiration:

Recently I was hired by Santa Barbara’s Breast Cancer Resource Center to produce their 15th Annual BCRC Event.

This year is a polo themed – Pink Polo Party.  I presented my inspiration and decor ideas with the following vision boards.  I’ll follow up with a blog post to show the after and how it turned out.

Below are some adjective and brainstormed words defining a polo theme event and decorations

White black and silver with pops of pink

Caviar, raw bar high end food

Ice bar / Sculpture

Champagne (Pop has pink champagne)

BOYS AND THEIR TOYS = Cigar roller + displays of luxury cars

Lounge furniture – these are from Town and Country Event Rentals

Tents with flags

Chevron instead if stripes

Wood exposed tables

Chandeliers

Pink carpet

Step and repeat

Urns / trophies filled with pink parasols at entrance

Use a lot silver for stations

Urns full of fruit and grapes as center pieces

Bars with backdrop

Pink drinks – Polo matches offer refreshments; drinks are typically teas, juices and alcohol like champagne

Greet with pink champagne

Tailgating before the match can also take place, with spectators packing picnic lunches or afternoon tea.

Baby grand piano

String quartet

Trumpets for announcements

Titanic old school elegant

Servers in tuxedos

Cigar Afficionado?

Cigar Row is an ISES member who attended Event World in Dallas earlier this month, and it brought back memories.

Cigars Parties and Events for Corporate

Growing up I was more of a tom boy.  I loved hanging out with the boys.

Once I learned to play poker I never looked back!  (I was in my 20′s silly, how young did you think I was talking about)?

 

When I moved to Austin after college the “Cigar and Martini” bars were an upcoming trend.  Bars would showcase a creative martini menu and upscale environment which included ‘cigar rooms’ for your puffing enjoyment.  I loved it!  I tried my first apple-tini in one DELISH!

 

At The Pearl of Havana Fundraising Gala  I produced in 2007 carried a 1950′s Cuban theme, which included a cigar lounge.  Needles to say it was a popular hang out area the night of the event, even for the co-chairs below.

There are a number of ways that you can incorporate cigars into your corporate event, celebration, bachelor party or hey, JUST THE GIRLS poker night party!

According to our weather report, Independence Day this year will be warm and sunny. Whether you choose alcoholic or non-alcoholic options, these drinks will be sure to quench your thirst while you celebrate the day!

We stopped by Sur la Table and discovered they are having a 30% off sale on beverage jars, stands and signs just before the holiday! Perfect timing!

These 5 drink recipes include ingredients like watermelon, tequila, and strawberry schnapps.

When preparing this layered drink, make sure the liquid with the highest sugar content is on the bottom.

Check out this blog for this drink recipe!

Loving the blue sugar on the rim of the glasses!

The Number Two (of four) Ingredients for Planning a Great Party

Nov 16 2011
Published in Blog, Do it yourself, Signature Drinks, Successful Party Tip

A few weeks ago I blogged about the number one important ingredient for a successful event.  Here I am to share with you the second most important ingredient to incorporate in order to have a successful event or holiday party.

SUCCESSFUL EVENT TIP NUMBER TWO = WETTING THE WHISTLE, FUN DRINKS

Offer an assortment of beverage options in order to to encompass a myriad of palates, however, not so many that it breaks your budget. A creative signature drink can incorporate your theme, color or details, and will be something guests enjoy and continue to talk about.

 

One of Felici’s Favourites is Pomegranate + Sparkling Wine = Pomegranate Mimosa, a refreshing, soft cocktail.

      +       =    

 

If you’re offering alcoholic beverages, make sure there are a few interesting non-alcoholic options for the non-drinkers and designated drivers at your party.

Felici combines Pink Lemons + Sugar = Pink Lemonade

 

+ =
