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.
