The mission for this function was to transform a dull, colorless, sterile high school cafeteria into a dining area for 350 guests to enjoy. Cut branches and paper lanterns dangled from the ceiling, fresh bamboo stood within the table groupings, embossed metallic foils were used as table coverings and 70 centerpieces decorated the table. Each of the 70 centerpieces were unique and different. Colored glass vases were used, topped with a fresh hydrangea flower. A faux (silk) orchid stem added height, drama and contrasting color to complete the creation.
This was a large area to transform! Above each table grouping (16 total), I hung large branches cut from my tree (it needed trimmed anyway!). Then, I hung and staggered 7 paper lanterns within each branch. The end result created a vision texture, nature, color and uniqueness.
The entrance to the dining area after the performance displayed 2 dress forms. It was a great presentation of some of her previous dance attire and made an authentic decorative statement.
