Balloons

Use golf tees to stake balloons in the ground! This is a great idea to line a driveway! Another fabulous idea that would work with this is put glow sticks inside the balloons and stake them into the ground. It would make the party have a cool atmosphere.

Beautiful Decorations

I absolutely had to share these pictures with you. The decorators for these weddings are ridiculous!!

Noche De Gala VIP Room

At Noche De Gala, there is a VIP room that gets it's very own decor. For this year, the designers at Keith Watson Productions went with a turquoise and red color scheme with a birch wood accent. They shipped in the birch wood from Wisconsin! A lot of the accent pieces in the VIP tent was from IKEA.

The mirrors, lamps, and butterfly burst decorations are all from Ikea. However, the butterflies were added to the bursts with U-GLU dashes. My favorite thing about this tent was the cracked ice vases, circular mirrors, and candle holders.

Noche De Gala Decor

This post is to show the decor from Noche De Gala with the theme Enchanted Forest. All next week I will be discussing different techniques that we decorators used for the event to help you all better organize your party and know what you need!

Some of these pictures are from Footstone Photography and some are from my personal pictures.

Fairy Berries

Hello All.  From October 16th-23rd, I worked with Keith Watson Production in Gainesvile, FL. I was their spring intern, and they asked me back to help with their huge event called Noche De Gala, which is held at a beautiful farm called the Besilu Collection near Ocala, FL. This event is a fundraiser for the Sebastian Ferrero Foundation, which is a charity to build a specialized children's hospital as to minimize medical mistakes from doctors who aren't accustomed to working on children.

This year's theme was Enchanted or Enchanted Forest. It took Keith's team of 20 people or more including myself, a whole week to set up the party and only 6 hours to tear it down. This week and next week I will be showing you decor from this party and giving you cool DIY ideas for your own party!

Thanks for your patience with my blog!

The first awesome product I will tell you about are Fairy Berries. They are these little translucent orbs that blink on and off every so often so it gives the illusion of fairies or fireflies. It was incredible how much these little things could turn the event from just a forest into an enchanted forest!

The cost a little over a dollar per sphere and they last about 13-14 hours. My suggestion would be to place them in giant ferns that you can buy from Home Depot or any plant store. Use sticky stuff like this product called U-GLU. It's truly amazing!

Stick them to your centerpieces or in trees outside your venue! Enjoy!
