Event Report: Brynne Peña Realizes A Mid-Century Modern Dream

The Event:
2 Receptions and 1 Final Night
Event Dates:
three consecutive days in late September
in Palm Springs.
The Event Theme: Retro Dreams
The Locations: The Parker and The Riviera Hotels

Brynne: "Putting on a series of events in Palm Springs was a dream come true.  My favorite time-period/aesthetic is Mid-Century Modern, of which Palm Springs is just oozing with!  Just walking around town and at the different hotel properties I could hardly contain my excitement at all the delicious eye candy everywhere!"

The event locations were pure Palm Springs: a croquet lawn reception, a poolside event and a Closing Night Under The Stars.

The first night's reception on the croquet lawn featured black & gold decor, black metal cocktail tables with Chevron Graphic Counters, mid-century ghost bar stools and golden pineapple decorations.


We followed up with a poolside party.
Brynne: "The retro pool party was a blast – my client and I had giggled like school girls as we stopped to pose for selfies with the Swan pool floats.  The guests followed suit and proceeded to take “Swelfies” the rest of the night!"

We added cocktail arrangements to existing high cocktail tables with yellow bar stools. 8’ White Tate Dining tables with orange geometric table runners featured a blend of orange & teal Bentwood chairs, teal and tangerine communal table
arrangements and votives completed the modernism look.




Entertainment: we added a live band to follow the DJ and a synchronized swim team as a surprise element.
           
Brynne: "I have always wanted to produce a true Mid-Century event and designing in the Gene Autry Suite was a hoot!  Once the event was set-up and guests had moved to the backyard for a dinner under the stars, I spent a few moments exploring the house, leaving more inspired than I entered!"
