At last year's Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Whole Foods offered guests scented sprays as well as sunscreen, hair ties, and bobby pins. A sign nearby read, "Refresh yourself before you wreck yourself."
A floor-to-ceiling light box lent the illusion of a picture window with a panoramic view of Los Angeles.Â
Global Green hosted a February 24 event at Mr. C Beverly Hills with a green carpet that nodded to the organization’s green initiatives. Guests dined on Cipriani cuisine at earth-toned—but glittering—tables. Stevie Wonder performed at the event, where marquee-style lettering spelled out Global Green.
Georama is a new option for planners who want to check out destinations, venues, entertainment, or other elements for their events without having to travel to see them in person. The company has nearly 200 guides around the world who provide private, customized tours using either a smartphone or a GoPro. Tours are conducted in real time with two-way audio so those watching can ask questions or request a closer look at something. The stream is private, viewable only with an access code, and each tour is also recorded for viewing on demand.
The event had a black-and-white theme that included dominos and playing cards as table decor.
A lace runner topped the feminine table, where lace also covered chairs in varying styles and flowers included surprising and romantic choices such as jasmine buds.
Forget the glow sticks or cell phone flashlights. Crowdsync Technology provides controllable LED wristbands for events or live performances that light up to the beat of music using specialized DMX control software. Wristbands last roughly six hours or can be purchased with replaceable batteries for multi-day use. They can also be printed with company logos. Prices range from $3.49 to $3.99 per wristband, and the company works on events nationwide. Crowdsync Technology can also be applied to festival-friendly items such as beach balls.Â
This may be the one time it’s actually okay to get marker all over the furniture. Taking inspiration from the recent trend of adult coloring books, national furniture rental company AFR has introduced a new initiative called #ColorYourEvents, which allows guests to grab a marker and color in branded decals that are adhered to tabletops. (The company's Aspen Cocktail Table is pictured, but the decals can be used on other AFR tables as well.) Clients provide the artwork and markers, and AFR handles the decal printing and pasting. Pricing depends on the item and the size.
