Social Event Ideas

For a New York couple marrying at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, Heather Snively of Weddings Unique recreated the newlyweds’ hometown with a hand-painted backdrop of Central Park from Greenery Productions. Lighting and real trees helped the scene come to life.

Matthew Parker Events crafted lighting fixtures for a speakeasy-themed wedding using hats from a party supply store, decorative ribbon, corded wire, and filament bulbs.

For a vodka shot bar at a birthday party designed by Kristi Amoroso Special Events, the bottles were displayed in a sculptural arrangement of textured ice spheres.

At Warner Brothers Television Group's party to celebrate the opening of the studio’s new exhibit, "Television: Out of the Box," the arrivals carpet was striped to look like TV color bars.

Target's signature bulls-eye logo and the collection's mascot, Milu the cat, decorated the backdrop for the press wall, where guests like Blake Lively, Chloë Moretz, and Jaime King posed for photographers.

At the reception desk facing the elevator, three "judges" scored guests as they arrived.

Dubbed "Paparazzi," the installation at the entrance of Performa's opening-night benefit put a swarm of 45 fake photographers on a red carpet.

With Andy Warhol art on the walls of the atrium, Eric Michael and Jack Lucky used a 1970s-inspired color palette of bright orange, yellow, pink, and neon green. Perfect Settings provided linens in each of these colors to create alternating color blocks from table to table.
