<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Amazing to think that we are looking back on another full year of creating lit centerpieces and decor for special events. Many of the jobs we worked on featured beautiful graphics that once lit up, were dazzling in darkened ballrooms.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of our favorites was produced for AE Events for the Solomon Schecter Day School Gala. The use of the colorful backgrounds complimented the linens and room decor perfectly to create a stunning centerpiece.</span></div>

We always enjoy providing illuminated decor for the <a href="http://icic.org/urban-business-initiatives/inner-city-100/event/" target="_blank">Annual ICIC</a> awards in Boston.

The round votive covers were combined with a coordinated "mat" and featured a cool plexiglass "blimp" with additional graphics.</div>

For a recent sophisticated Bar Mitzvah designed by <a href="http://www.tablesensations.com/" target="_blank">Table Sensations</a> we were asked to design a custom lampshade to fit elegant lamp bases that served as centerpieces.<br />
Sourced online to accent the event decor, the lamps were adapted with a taller harp and the electric cords cut. To raise them up a little they were placed on upturned glass vases.<br />
The shades were in fact 2 tiered with the rectangles cut out to expose the second blue shade below. The battery-operated lights were installed in the top of the inner shade and were turned on remotely.<br />
<br />
It was a challenging and creative project for us and we enjoyed figuring out how to adapt commercial lamp bases to our custom shades. <br />

Designed by Liz Marson of <a href="http://www.lizmarsonmeetingsandevents.com/" target="_blank">Liz Marson Events </a>, the evening was<br />
staged in three parts.<br />
To begin the evening, guests were met by a living red carpet that welcomed them to the "Learn" part of the evening. With the help of graphic designers at <a href="http://www.instantsigncenter.com/" target="_blank">Instant Sign Center</a>, Liz designed elegant informational banners highlighting the purposes and goals of the foundation. We built complimentary lit column centerpieces that featured some of the major points as well as the three dimensional LEARN lettering.<br />

At only 4" x 4" square, they pack a great visual punch to personalize a table top beautifully.<br />

Working with art specifically created for the JDRF fundraising Gala by artist David Russo, our goal was to marry his art to a base that would hold shades that featured both his whimsical art and the important messaging for JDRF.<br />

Recently we created illuminated shades that sat atop ice sculpture bases for a Bat Mitzvah at the Aquarium in Boston. The twins, Rose and Sam, had chosen penguins as their motif, and the dancing duos were seen on the lamps, votive covers and other decor throughout the room. The top of the shades featured a cut out penguin holding the table numbers - a fun way to steer guests to the correct table!<br />
The ice sculptures were a novel way to hold the shades and glistened beautifully below the shades. The bases were created by Don at Brilliant Ice Sculptures, and lasted perfectly for the entire evening.<br />

The Global Fund for Women is the largest publicly supported foundation
that advances women’s human rights by investing in women-led
organizations worldwide. Their 25th Anniversary Gala recognized some of the extraordinary women leading the way to equality and justice around the world.<br />
We were very proud to be able to add our centerpieces to the evening's festivities at this unique venue.<br />
<br />
The event artwork featured colorful graphics and when illuminated, the centerpieces provided a vibrant compliment to this Gala evening. <br />

The organic softness of floral elements and our internally lit cylinder complemented each other perfectly.<br />

This combination is an option for more traditional event decor where guests are expecting some florals at the table.<br />

They add movement and texture to our pieces and pretty much always make us smile at the finished result!<br />

This large shade featured graphics and logo matching the event decor and was internally lit with a large LED fixture. Fun!<br />

This tall base holds a football - but it could just as well hold a basketball or soccer ball - and also features a custom logo mark. The height helps to fill a large event space nicely.<br />
<br />
