Real Events: The Summer Party 2018

I love a great party and collaborating with fellow industry experts so when Katie Fischer Cohen + Ray Jarrell asked me to be part of the Summer Party at Riverpark this year I didn't hesitate! The theme was “Yacht Rock” allowing us to combine amazing music and cool, retro 70’s/80’s décor elements.

Not wanting to be too literal with our choices we chose a lot of muted tones of pink, blues and yellow with crisp greens for the majority of the flowers. A subtle nod to nautical touch was the use of rope throughout many of the designs.

KFD designed amazing graphics printed on cocktail napkins, bar wraps, dance floor and wall backdrop. Bombshell Graphics brought all the designs to life with their printing and installation of the graphics. My favorite was the ocean wave dance floor. We custom built an actual dock over a portion of the dance floor which gave Ray’s dancers the perfect place to get the crowd excited on the dance floor.

Big thanks to Dovetail Vintage Rentals for the perfect vintage pieces to complete the lounges and to Christian Oth for capturing all the details.
