event theme ideas and examples

Bathed in green light, live trees and plants filled the industrial venue.

During the cocktail hour, organizers piped in natural sounds to evoke the feel of a forest. Tracks included Jim Wilson's "God's Chorus of Crickets."

The dining room was carpeted with sod, and organizers wanted the smell of living plants to fill the air.

Riffing off the plant theme, the design and fabrication firm Hot Pop Factory hosted a D.I.Y. flower-pressing station. Guests used custom laser-cut flower presses to create keepsake pieces of art.

Sponsor Lancôme Canada offered makeup applications in a flower-filled dome.

Later in the evening, spotlights lit up to reveal burnt-out cars and trucks with plants spilling out of them.
