Hope you had a Summer filled with fun, friends & parties. Looking for a new twist on the summer social event, our studio went off- road to discover and explore.

We traveled to  Sayulita, Mexico.  A  fishing village turned bohemian surf destination.  The town was bursting with creative energy....

Did someone say BOHO SURF party theme?? Hello, we got it. This is an awesome concept for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Sweet Sixteen bash. 

The colors were rich,vibrant + dreamy,ethereal. Festive paper banners hung above the street and sunset painted ombre across the sky. 

Our studio is taking ombre into the Fall.  We've collected some clever ways to layer this painted rainbow palette into your social event.

SET THE TABLE, ABC Home washes these dreamy waves of color over flatware

EAT CAKE,  Sweet & Saucy Shop creates gorgeous ombre cakes.

We hit up Riis Park Beach Bazaar one afternoon to Eat, Drink, Shop & Eat more. The street vendor concept is too good to keep ONLY outside.  Stay tuned for our Fall collaboration as we bring the Street Fair inside the party.

 Covent Garden's art installation has our hearts beating for London. This stunning collection of white balloons illuminated from the inside must be translated for our next party. This is going to have guests seeing ceiling decor from a whole new perspective.

Our studio was honored when PERI WOLFMAN of Wolfman Gold rang us to collaborate on her birthday party! A pioneer of style and taste, Peri conceptualized Wolfman-Gold during the early 90's in SoHo. Due to her design innovation, William-Sonoma reached out to her to lead their design team. This success brought Peri to Restoration Hardware to infuse their product line. Remaining true to her spirit, her celebration would be hosted in a classic SoHo venue, Kelley & Ping, filled with her sensibility.

We designed the table scape on brown kraft paper layered with a collection of vintage bottles and bright orange poppies. Before guests arrived at KELLEY AND PING, to celebrate, Peri made an early morning visit to the Flower District. She fell straight away in love with these vibrant beauties.

Peri's grandchildren designed the clever place cards and menus. A Chinese character reflecting the tone of their unique personality graced each guest.

Adding to the festivities, a musician played the dulcimer and Chinese bamboo flute.

After Dinner

Following dinner, chalk drawn arrows directed guests along Greene Street to Peri and Charley's loft. There, guests were mesmerized by Master Paper & Scissor Artist, Mr. Cheng.

This Moveable Feast treated guests to a pop up dessert bar By Luca & Bosco.

Happy Birthday Peri!

A note of thanks to Kelley & Ping for a fabulous birthday party! 

Til Next Time, Cheers...Loretta xo
