Brilliantly Glowing Shades

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.

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.

The Best of Our Recent Custom Illuminated Decor

As 2017 comes to a close, we're looking back on some highlights from the recent months.

For the fourth year in a row, we provided centerpieces and columns for The Norman B. Leventhal Awards. This year, we illuminated the Boston skyline across a series of square columns trios.

In October, we provided colorful votive covers for Big Brothers Big Sisters' Building Big Awards.

We always enjoy providing illuminated decor for the Annual ICIC awards in Boston. As always, the elegant graphics were designed by Carol Maglitta of One Visual Mind.  The round votive covers were combined with a coordinated "mat" and featured a cool plexiglass "blimp" with additional graphics.

Last month, we provided round closed top centerpieces for IAVA's Heroes Gala at Cipriani in New York City. The IAVA Heroes Gala is an annual celebration honoring veterans of the Iran and Afghanistan wars. For more highlights from the event the recap of the event.

Also in November, we designed and created illuminated votive trios for the Boston Bruins Team Event held at TD Garden. This year's theme was the NHL's 100th anniversary and honored the team's season ticket holders.

For the Clinical and Research Excellence Awards, held at the State Room in Boston, we provided custom wineglass shades. The team at Informa added the cute little stem lights. 

Trios of branded square open top shades were created to fit plexiglass boxes for Alexandria Real Estate Equities. The New York event highlighted ARE's various properties across the U.S.

We are so grateful to have been a part of so many wonderful events this year. Looking forward to all to come in 2018. 

Illuminated Photo Centerpieces for the Food Bank of NYC

We were honored to provide photo cube centerpieces for the  star-studded "Can Do" gala at Cipriani Wall Street.

Featuring wonderful photos provided by the Food bank, the centerpieces helped bring attention to the problem of hunger and poverty that often goes unseen in New York.

This fundraising event is instrumental in helping provide support for the millions of New Yorkers who rely on Food Bank.

Photo Shades for New York twins' mitzvah

The large photo shades created bold focal points at each table.  The professional photographs looked wonderful when illuminated!

Also included in the decor were illuminated custom wineglass shades where one of the evening's logos was featured.

Graduation Cap Centerpieces

When is a graduation cap not a cap?  When it's a donation box! Excel Academy in Boston is putting our custom Graduation Caps on the tables to raise funds for their charter school.  What a great idea!

Our illuminated centerpieces double as donation boxes 

and are a nice way to ask for gifts from your guests!
