While majority of our clients tend to be wedding couples here and there I get the pleasure of designing other life celebrations. This past Labor Day I was hired to design a BBQ celebrating a PhD and to be honest, I was uberly excited from the start. The client sent me the invitation (that turns out she designed...umm yea...I'm lucky with clients) as a point of inspiration and from there we designed a stylish bbq that accommodated the kiddies as well as adult fun time. We achieved this by creating several distinct space - a kids zone, a "neutral" area (think food station), and an adult area (think drink station). Oh, and did I mention that Hurricane Isaac decided to come through? We had to scram and move majority of the party indoors - 60 people. It was still a lot of fun!
We dressed up the seating tables with herbs in terra cotta pots, mason jars holding utensils, and wooden crates.
All of the herbs provided a lovely aroma.
Chalkboard menu and directional signs added to the outdoor decor.
we made custom stenciled flag garlands for various areas
