Celebrating is not hard to do when you’ve got clients as wonderful as this! We loved working with Tally & Kirby to produce their white party at Husky Stadium in Seattle. It was truly a night to remember.

Had so much fun chatting with @sonja_irondiamond and @summithillstudios on the @weddingdaypodcast about unconventional wedding planning and crafting immersive wedding experiences. And I took a trip down memory lane as we discussed some of my most memorable wedding designs, like this “Heaven and Hell” inspired wedding.

If given the option to select a side, which would you choose? 🪽😈

Paradise Found 🌴

This Hawaiian-inspired 70th surprise birthday party gave total island vibes! Attendees started at a cocktail hour featuring hula dancers, ukulele players and a thatched bar serving up Mai Tais in tiki cups along with a conch blower signaling a reveal of dinner behind custom bamboo doors. A transformed tennis court popped with tropical tablescapes and mixed textiles, an authentic tiki band and a Hawaiian inspired menu. Later, Haka dancers led guests to a surprise after party showcasing a second band and DJ playing from our 1960’s tiki bar inspired lounge.

This one truly captured the spirit of Aloha. 🌺

Color of Time 🌈

Architect Emmanuelle Moureaux’s latest art experience, “COLOR OF TIME,” allows observers to experience the passage of time through color. Moureaux chose paper; layering over 100,000 number cutouts into a 3D grid. From sunrise at 6:30 to 19:49, the numbers turn over 100 shades of color, ending in black. A color changing experience totaling 799 minutes.
