Ocean Drive magazine celebrated the MTV Video Music Awards in style with a swank after-party at the National Hotel in South Beach. Throughout the hotel's narrow courtyard, Logistics Management Group created a sultry tropical playground decked out in hot pink, orange, and lime green—the signature colors of this year's VMAs.
IlluminArt washed the rear facade of the hotel in warm orange tones and hung colorful Japanese lanterns between the poolside palm trees. The National's famously long lap pool was transformed into an outdoor living room with decor from Event Source International, such as candy-colored daybeds and cushioned platforms. Guests lounged around the pool and sipped cocktails made with Absolut's latest concoction, Absolut .phpberri. As the night wound down, guests grabbed hot pink gift bags stuffed with goodies from the event's sponsors, including Cubavera shirts, Lancôme products, and a hot pink, light-up yo-yo from Ocean Drive.
