White Bounce House Las Vegas
Las Vegas-based White Bounce House designed a stunning balloon backdrop for this birthday party cake display. Matching the color scheme to that of the tiered desserts, while also incorporating greenery and butterfly imagery, created a bright atmosphere at venue Serendipity Events. The event was a joint birthday for the client’s mother and daughter, so the goal was to make the display cute but also elegant.

Rose Gold Collective
Starting off with a blank space gave experiential event designers at Rose Gold Collective the opportunity to create this custom 12-foot bar at Lavan 541 in New York City. Coupled with layered lighting on the back wall and utilization of venue space to capitalize on brand billboard moments, this setup created an immersive touchpoint for the Heineken Silver VIP Launch Party.

Display Group
Display Group
Creative collective Display Group began with a mood board to curate this glamorous, Hollywood-inspired event. After laying out the space, the team worked on sketching out ideas for elements to incorporate in the space like marquee letters, large stars, tinsel chandeliers, and more. To lean into the theme of “Golden Age” Hollywood, Display Group focused on highlighting architectural elements of the space by creating eye-catching displays throughout.

Experiential agency Sunset Studios was in charge of Rare Beauty’s launch of its Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil line in New York City. Themed “Alive with Color,” Sunset Studios focused on the use of color, shapes, and light to create a “surreal” event that was also grounded in brand messaging, had engaging activities, incorporated branded F&B options, and more.
