Please see below some event design ideas and pics of one of our June events at the Petersen Automotive Museum. The team on-site was terrific and all of our vendors really made it a fantastic event. Special shout out Renaissance Catering and Classic Party Rentals.
So, to be honest, we had a real hard time determining how we would design the event... In the Grand Salon there was this "What were they Thinking" display - where vehicles that didn't make it were showcased and the signage was - of all colors - orange / grey and black! The cars on display were a mixed colors! So, for this pretty formal "lifetime achievement" celebration needed to be designed with those elements - but we had to be careful not to make it look like Halloween!
So, we really had two ideas - 1) Create sections of the room by making the table decor / linen the same as the nearest car showcased... so, the room would be a mix of colors - you would be seated at the "blue" car section that was supposed to be a boat and car (but it didn't float) or 2) go with the theme and do a orange / grey... The easy way out would have been to do a black / silver design - but that was too basic / too easy. We ended up with the orange / grey design. We used Wildflower Linens, Classic Party Rentals, Chameleon Chairs, all with accents of the orange and grey (silver). It actually looked pretty good, elegant and not Halloween!
We used a simple gobo to welcome attendees and shot moving patters across the room to break up the room a bit... Special Thanks to J&M Entertainment & Event Production for their work on the honoree video and technical production elements.
Since the event was really about our honoree - we wanted to present a table favor that everyone would enjoy and not throw away the minute they got out of sight. So, our honoree's favorite candy - M&Ms... So, we had custom jars made with the client's logo and name of the event. We stuffed the jars with M&Ms and tied simple bows. It really gave each place setting a little bit more color. And, you should have smelled our office the day we were putting them together! LOL - it was like we all had chocolate on the brain.
We also gave everyone lapel pins - Donate Life in honor of our honoree's organization - OneLegacy.
As our guests arrived, they were greeted with tray passed wine and asked to tour their way to the main reception area and bar. It was really nice to have all of our attendees get to experience some amazing displays. At the Reception area we had a solo guitarist playing Jazz / Blues. 
It was a fun night! Thanks again to the Simply Mumtaz team, another great event. Stay tuned for our next post - it's will be all about our Dominguez Centennial Aviation Day event! Photos taken by Michael Norwood - MNorwood Photography! Thank you so much for coming out. The shots were terrific!
