Dragonflies for Dinner

At our first meeting with this meeting planner she handed us this card and said, “This is awards night.” Our first thought was, “Yikes! we’re going to have to hang dragonflies all over the ballroom!” She went on to explain that her events always start with a piece of paper. In this case, she had seen all the different blue and green crystals on this dragonfly card and knew that would be the theme of her next event. So we started with the silver cachepots and matte satin linens you see here, and added subtle blues and greens throughout the ballroom. Her vision was fully realized with a stunning lighting system that washed the ballroom in greens and blues all evening.
