Inspired by warm colors like apricot and gold and the cacti of California, the Flowers By Semia team hosted a baby shower for one of their own.

Succulents and cacti filled shimmery gold and sleek white vessels, while aloe plants laid loosely on the table creating a raw landscape. Warm climate fruits such as papayas and star fruits added a vibrant pop of color, complimenting the poppies and ranunculus. Many of the floral arrangements were clean and simple featuring one outstanding bloom. ”We basically wanted to take all of the mom-to-be’s favorite things and put them on one table. The poppies were perfection — tissue paper ruffles for days!” Semia exclaimed. Cocktail napkins in gold geometric prints paired perfectly with the gold flatware and textured metal chargers provided by Peterson Party Center. The tables was centered under a large geometric installation like an adult mobile, adding a touch of whimsy to the day.

The Boston Ballet Gala… an evening filled with elegant performances, delicious cuisine, and breathtaking décor.

The team at AE Events had the pleasure of coordinating the design team for the 2015 Boston Ballet fundraising gala. Each year the Boston Ballet selects an important dance performance to which the event décor and design is centered around. The 2015 selection was inspired by Lady of the Camellias, a ballet adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas. The Castle at the Boston Park Plaza was filled with rows of mirrored tables from Be Our Guest, reflecting the deep blue lighting above and setting the ambiance for the night. Pillar candles in varying heights illuminated the delicate camellia and baby’s breath that adorned every table. While enjoying various performances guests dined on a delicious dinner prepared by MAX Ultimate Food finished off with petite sweets. “We had a dream team of vendors for this event. As a whole we worked together to make the Boston Ballet Ball an evening to remember,” Mindy Home of AE Events describes.

An elegant cocktail party celebrating the nuptials of Michael and Lauren at the Providence G in the heart of downtown Providence.

Having just returned to Rhode Island from their private ceremony on a chartered yacht at sea amidst the British Virgin Islands, Michael and Lauren wished to celebrate with family and friends at an elegant cocktail party. They sought out event planner Sandra Medeiros to curate the team of professionals to bring their vision to life. The ballroom at Providence G was a blank canvas with vaulted ceilings and an all-white décor just waiting to be transformed into a sparkling oasis of metro elegance. Ormonde Productions illuminated the interior with pink and purple lighting creating a luxe ambiance. Candles in glass vessels in varying heights added warmth and intimacy while small floral arrangements in rich reds designed by Flowers by Semia breathed life into the room. The after party moved everyone downstairs to the Providence G Pub where guests sang karaoke, played pool, and of course more dancing!
