Kids in Need Fund-District 96 PTO

This year we were invited back to join in as the District 96 PTO had their 2nd Annual Evening of Floral Design. We along with three other area florists designed 6 arrangements each to be raffled off for the Kids in Need Fund. This year was another HUGE success and we all had fun doing it! Here are a few pictures from November 6th and our creations.

TABLES...THINK outside of the BOX...

{EVENT CATCHUP}

When it comes to tablescapes...think outside the box. Tables are not just rectangle or round, they can be in the shape of a bed! Check out these pictures from a past {twins} Bat Mitzvah and what our team did with the tables and linens.

Moroccan Lounge

{MITZVAH MONDAY}

This past season we gathered our team and designed a true Moroccan style Bar Mitzvah for the Jackson Family. With the help of  That Special Event and Jerry Carlson we created glows of orange, red/maroon, purple and aquas. Large pillows were scattered for extra "moroccan style" seating. The amber uplighting really set the mood along with the candle light and lanterns.

The party fell on the day of a high holiday Purim. All the guests came dressed in their best attire to the Highland Park Community House

The floor was lite with a beautiful paisley style pattern that had the guests saying...WOW!

PURIM:
The festival of Purim is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). It commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot “to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.”

The story in a nutshell:The Persian empire of the 4th century BCE extended over 127 lands, and all the Jews were its subjects. When KingAhasuerus had his wife, Queen Vashti, executed for failing to follow his orders, he orchestrated a beauty pageant to find a new queen. A Jewish girl, Esther, found favor in his eyes and became the new queen—though she refused to divulge the identity of her nationality.
Meanwhile, the anti-Semitic Haman was appointed prime minister of the empire.Mordechai, the leader of the Jews (and Esther’s cousin), defied the king’s orders and refused to bow to Haman. Haman was incensed, and convinced the king to issue a decree ordering the extermination of all the Jews on the 13th of Adar—a date chosen by a lottery Haman made.
Mordechai galvanized all the Jews, convincing them to repent, fast and pray toG‑d. Meanwhile, Esther asked the king and Haman to join her for a feast. At the feast, Esther revealed to the king her Jewish identity. Haman was hanged, Mordechai was appointed prime minister in his stead, and a new decree was issued—granting the Jews the right to defend themselves against their enemies.
On the 13th of Adar, the Jews mobilized and killed many of their enemies. On the 14th of Adar, they rested and celebrated.

ERICA goes ET

{MITZVAH MONDAY}

Coordinated by Denise Pierce of Simply Celebrate, Erica Tashma wanted an ET theme for her Bat Mitzvah, so our team was on it! Creating dimensional tablescapes to resemble the moon from the movie. Incorporating the details while keeping it personal for Erica too- Guests were greeted by with escort cards giving them the feel for the evening.

 

 Choosing different poses for the image made each table unique and fun to see what the other decor was.

 The seating and up lighting made the room at the Westin Wheeling so inviting for her event. Again Hype Productions was on board making for an Extra-Terrestrial party.
