Innovation NOT optional...

Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables
When it comes to trends in the event world, we work hard to always push the envelope and stay current, and steer far from the usual and "oh so done".


We were thrilled to collaborate with Jackie Farah from Jackie Ohh Events on a project for her website called "Decor Trends". We designed this outlandish yet incredibly sophisticated tablescape in yellow and black with contrasting white linens.

Everything from the hanging mirror and floral pommanders to the handmade napkin rings (see below), came together beautifully creating a classic color combination in a contemporary design.

Needless to say, the Biltmore Hotel's landscape was the perfect background.

A big thanks to Martha from UDS photography for these images.

EAT PRAY LOVE

08.17.10 @ Avant Gardens

We were hoping, yet not this extent, that a night dedicated to E. Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love would be a successful event at Avant Gardens. The combination of yummy Balinese snacks, soul warming teas, maybe a shot of freshly brewed espresso or event better, a glass or two of Chianti (Viva Italia!), an inspiring and spiritually awakening presentation by our friend Eddie Rodriguez, and the company of over 80 old and new friends made for an unforgettable evening. Our design team was proud to introduce our new flower arrangements and plants themed with the search for balance in our lives.

Here are a couple of photos featuring keepsake gifts, imported directly from Bali. Keep them in mind for your own home or as a thoughtful birthday, thank you or “just because” gift for that special friend or loved one. Also, visit us frequently to see our ever-changing inventory of one-of-a-kind home imports, including furniture and accents from Bali.


Thank you to Reverend Eddie Rodriguez, In Focus Studios, Ubi's Music & Lighting, Aroma Espresso, Elements & Accents, Area 31 Restarant at the Epic Hotel, and Paragon Grove Theaters.
