The 2008 Ball - The Decor... what a transformation!

2009-05-29T23:48:00.002+01:00

The decor I chose for the Ball in 2008 was designed to achieve the WOW factor... and it did! The bar area of the Marquee is completely seperate, and I was therefore able to hide the decor from the ball attendees until they were asked to take their seats... Upon entering the main marquee the guests were thrown into surroundings that were unexpected...

... From this...

...to this!...

The Marquee was re-lined in Red & Black crushed Velvet with Baroque Wallpapered Panels exposed in sections on the walls. Empty Gold Ornate Frames were hung from the Panels with uplighters providing soft lighting and casting fabulous shadows. Columns and Urns with Foliage Displays were used to add to the mood. Each table was decorated in the same mix of Red & Black using Baroque Fabrics, Chair Covers & Sashes, 110cm Black Candelabra decorated with Ivy, Blood Red Magnolia & Black Pearls.
