San Marino National Charity League

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of working with the ladies of the San Marino National Charity League on their Debutante Ball at the Beverly Wilshire. Although the event was a couple of days before Christmas I wanted the design to reflect a winter influence without looking like one big Christmas party. The design concept included a white on white color scheme with accents of gold. Flocked white winter branches, dendrobium orchids, roses and hydrangeas were elegantly designed on multiple stair railings, across the stage and created the mix of tall and low centerpieces and large accent pieces. Beautiful crystal drops were added to the large main pieces to reflect the beautiful lighting provided by Images By Lighting. Our ultimate design was our stage backdrop, which had to be beautiful, spectacular and add that WOW factor but not overshadow the young ladies as they made their very important entrance.
I had a graphic designer custom design trompe l'oeil panels that were massive- 10' wide by 14' tall! Each was framed with a gilded frame and layered in front of each other to create the back drop. The centerpiece of this was a very large floral design in shades of cream, champagne and white hydrangea and roses designed as if floating in the middle of the panel.
I can't wait to do something like this again for another client!! (now that I know the engineering)
These are just my photos so hopefully I will be able to post the professional images soon!
