What SWEET [16] DREAMS are made of!

So life is always busy and its on to the next project. Bridgeview Yacht Club is among the nicest of venues to hold any type of affair. This week it had the pleasure of holding Britni's Sweet 16. Britni came to us not too long ago with the idea to make her party different from the rest. However, with a black white and red theme she didnt know how far the imagination could be stretched.......we did!



Bridgeview is very elegant. Dark hard wood floors, crown molding....the works! This set up would be PERFECT...for a wedding or a banquet.....but we were trying to throw a hot sweet 16!!!
1st: attention must be drawn AWAY from the detail of elegance and back to the basics!



THE DANCE FLOOR




2nd: Figure out a way to showcase this small dancefloor WITHOUT making it look closed and congested. Find a way to give the teens privacy....but not TOO MUCH privacy

(if you know what i mean!)




3rd: Light it up and make it Gorgeous!


So thats just what we did- Draped the dancefloor with curtains from ceiling to floor. Two sides had three curtains each drawn to their centers. The head of the dance floor had only one curtain. We still wanted it to be inviting to all. Toward the back of the dance floor ENTERTAINMENT TONITE set up an awesome front board, plasma and spandex truss display. Add color changing LED lighting in a stage box, elations( lights programed by a lighting technician during the entire party), a stargazer(twinkling stars saturate the space) and a couple of black lights.....ta daaaaaa!

Britni's ultra cool and chic Sweet 16!



-I only wish my camera didnt have flash-these pics only do half its justice!

Sweet Dreams - the space looked so different "dreamy" and "starr-lite"
... What a Beautiful Room to have a "Sweet-Sixteen Party"!!!
It looks like a Million $$$...
What kind of budget do you need to have a party like this?
*(If you can make this room look so different I can just imagine with your creativity - Just how "wonderful" you'd make other ordinary common spaces look like great "Party Spaces!")xx mom
