Gala Ideas

Design Foundry kept the reception tent to a color palette of orange and pink. The florals set the stage for the springtime colors used throughout the dinner tent.

Erik Duran used pink, orange, and green for the flowers on the cocktail tables in the reception tent.

Design Foundry suspended different sizes and styles of orange lanterns from the ceiling of the reception tent.

Perfect Settings set up the tents in the garden of the Textile Museum property.

While the event couldn't take place at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, a screened image of the gallery's doors at the reception provided a link to the past.

Design Foundry suspended strings of pink butterflies above the dance floor as part of the metamorphosis theme.

The design team chose a springtime color palette of pink, orange, green, yellow, and green for the linens, flowers, and lighting in the dinner tent.

Yours Truly Lighting used pink, green, and orange uplights to complement the decor inside the dinner tent.

Perfect Settings mixed up the linens on the tables adjacent to one another with white tablecloths adorned with pink flowers on one table next to another with the opposite color arrangement.

For the first course of the meal, Occasions Caterers served sake-poached gulf shrimp with cashews, grapefruit, and mache accompanied by a watercress emulsion.

For dessert, Occassions Caterers served a chocolate and hazelnut dacquoise with gilded raspberries and a chocolate butterfly.
