Event Report: Hip Eco Chic Work Shop in #DTLA
Location: Target Terrace at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, CA.
The Occasion: we were invited to participate in a "Meet Los Angeles" FAM program organized by L.A. Tourism to provide a new activity: a Flower Bar!
The Event: a Reception at L.A. Live and an Educational Roundtable.
Our Director of Floral and Scenic Design Kate Brack created "Eco Chic" - a drought friendly floral concept and matching, easy-for-everyone activity: assembling succulent terrariums that we are shipping straight to their offices as lasting souvenirs.
Kate Brack and Nikki Wilbur represented us.
The Challenge:
creating a memorable "L.A." Moment for our guests.
We eschewed the typical wine tasting or cooking class activity to present "The Flower Bar" - an Eco Chic terrarium making class.
Perched on a large roof top event space in the heart of downtown LA, we hosted an intimate affair that proved to be social, educational and savvy.
Our 8' Canopy tables paired with ghost bar stools and hanging air plant shades were used to frame the Eco Chic work stations for the terrarium arrangement class.
A California Lounge area brought intimacy to the spectacular location. Organic Cotton decorative pillows, lanterns and succulent terrariums continued the Echo Chic theme.
Statement arrangements featuring air plants and other native California blossoms were placed on the bars for added enhancement.
Kate Brack: "This event presented us with a unique opportunity to share our tabletop design knowledge directly with the guests. The Flower Bar recipe featured in our custom menu kiosks provided participants with a visual reference while I gave verbal instruction and hands on assistance to guests. The most rewarding part of the event was how creative and enthusiastic all of our participants were!”
Each individual terrarium was packaged and sent directly to our guest’s business offices. This was a way for us to say thank you and give the participants a long-lasting, very personal L.A. souvenir.
Our Director of Business Development Nikki Wilbur noticed that this activity created a relaxed atmosphere and sense of fun that turned this business reception into a successful mixer.
It was a great pleasure and privilege to partner with our friends at L.A. Tourism and L.A. Live.
Thank you for inviting us to participate, it is always a thrill to have the opportunity to show off the amazing event spaces our city has to offer!
We wish to thank AFR Event Furnishings for providing the beautiful lounge furniture for this event.
Of course, just in time for the event light afternoon winds died down and the weather was perfect for the happy hour event.
Warm regards,
Janet
