Design Report with Music! We Let The Good Times Roll
Les Bons Temps rolled in Southern California last week - we had the
pleasure of creating design and florals for a series of occasions. 2000
guests for two breakfasts, two lunches and two Galas - we brought Black
and White Elegance and 1930's New Orleans Jazz style to the evening
events.
Director of Floral Design Kate Brack worked with our wonderfully creative new client to define the look and feel for the two day event. It was essential to create floral that stayed fresh and could be repurposed for several occasions.
Consequently, the breakfast, lunch and meeting decor consisted of succulents.
Floral artist Rebecca Motus and her team went to work.
"We used 5 varieties of organic materials, succulents, green dianthus, lotus pods , textured greenery, orchids. The decor took over 750 stems of black succulents called aeonium arboreum Schwarzkopf commonly called black beauty or blushing beauty succulents. We added over 550 stems of aeonium green hybrid and over 1,500 stems of green dianthus and 560 stems of lotus pods. Almost 300 preserved boxwood spheres in different sizes, 400 blooms of white phaeleonopsis orchids, 850 stems of white lisianthus, 350 stems of white hydrangea."

Preparation and production on all of these items took about a week and a half with a full staff of five floral designers under Rebecca's guidance.
We produced 185 organic green arrangements for the breakfast and lunch,
85 sleek black and white arrangements for the dinner and almost 300 preserved boxwood spheres in different sizes , 4", 6", 8", 16", 22".
White, black and green floral in black and white cylinders worked well for the overall look and they still looked fresh by the end of the second day! The final night transported guests from Anaheim to the Big Easy.
The client wanted to promote "Togetherness" and they had selected the theme and the band: an amazing 19-piece 1930s New Orleans Orchestra and Cabaret Show.
We had to include branding in decor and provide the right setting for the show.
We customized the center bar and added the company logo to our living boxwood bar.
Napoleon Lounge settings framed the dance floor.
Evergreen topiaries, lanterns and hanging baskets evoked the atmosphere of Congo Square.
We are happy to say that our client loved the results - so much they shared on Facebook.
Our DJ Lee Dyson started off the evening with a motivational custom mix to promote "Togetherness".
This song list will motivate your team this week!
Turn up the volume!
Thank you to my amazing team for turning this vision into reality!
Warm regards,
Janet
