This past weekend, we had an amazing (and FUN) opportunity to design and decorate a tablescape for Mad Batter's Inspiration Ave at The Bridal Spectacular Expo - given less than a week to not only come up with a vision, but find each perfect detail to bring it to life, we couldn't be happier with our final creation.
We spent Friday morning celebrating the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Expo's 25th year, what an accomplishment - We hope to still be participating with their company 25 years from now!
Then, we got to work.
We spent countless hours meticulously considering every aspect of our design, until we perfected each detail - from the linen drops & golden uplighting to turquoise linen & choice of flowers, we had many decisions to make in quite a short amount of time, but this is what we live for!
Since we were tablescaping a dessert bar, that was our main focus. Once we finalized our color palette and theme, we chose our linens and draping - ivory and gold, with a chandelier to bring in a glamorous element.
We kept our glassware and floral fairly neutral - ivory, gold, champagne, and silver, with a pop of pink, so we didn't take away from our main focus, the beautiful desserts.
We chose high cocktail tables to accompany the main table. To add dimension, the turquoise linens and silver beaded glassware really made the ivory & bright pink bouquets POP! We incorporated loose gold sequins and gold sequin bows to tie in our favorite detail, the gold center drape.
Once all of our little details came together, the decor flowed perfectly. Bright pinks & gold sparkle, with a little elegance and glam resulted in a beautiful tablescape - EXACTLY what we envisioned.
And meet the master baker behind the custom cake masterpieces, Brittney, of The Mad Batter Cafe & Bakery - without her, none of this would have been possible!
Of course, we couldn't call it a night without taking a picture with our masterpiece!
And to top off our weekend, WE WON THE BEST BOOTH SET UP for Inspiration Avenue, voted by the brides who attended the show - what a great honor, we are truly humbled & blessed to be given the opportunity to do what we love!
