Luminato Festival
Toronto's 10-day Luminato Festival kicked off on June 18 at Hearn Generating Station with an opening party that combined the themes of nature and industry, which gave the event a post-apocalyptic feel. Lancôme Canada, the event's sponsor, offered makeup applications in a flower-filled dome.

The rave-theme bat mitzvah, which had a neon green and pink color scheme, took place at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium.

Inspired by an image of laser lighting, Evoke's design team used neon green and pink tape to turn the dance floor into the event's laser-esque focal point.

Frost Lighting provided moving light fixtures that allowed for continuous light movement throughout the night.

Neon rods served as table centerpieces. "We wanted something that gave height, but we also wanted something that wasn't breaking the bank," Evoke president Jodi Moraru said.

The desserts, provided by Occasions Caterers, were what Moraru calls a "chocoholic's dream." Chocolate-flavored cupcakes, layered cake pops, and parfaits were presented on a conveyor belt.

The decor, which kept with the green and pink color scheme, was provided by Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
