A hint of Spring is in the air, creating the a perfect setting for the Van Gogh Up Close exhibit to open to the public at The Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Inspired by Van Gogh, the Dutch Post-Impressionist noted for his bold color and rough beauty, TableArt,  Eventions Productions and Stephen Starr Events created a memorable Opening Gala for the Van Gogh Up Close exhibition. A special thanks to the fabulous Marie Labbancz who captured the evening with her incredible photography.

The evening began by leading guests up the Great Stair Hall
through a path of blooming branches.
The Eventions Team added dramatic branch gobo’s. The effect was spectacular!

The contrast between the modern square mirrored charger
and the navy shimmer linen was elegant and dramatic.

Guest tables were placed around the Upper Balcony overlooking the Great Stair Hall.
Trailing down the center of each table were modern still life floral arrangements created from oncidium orchids, craspedia, fringed tulips and calla lilies accented
with birch branches and twinkling lights.

An amazing image captured by Marie Labbancz.

Twinkling lights in the arrangements could be seen from across the balcony.
For added ambience loose lavender rose petals were placed inside LED votives.

It was a pleasure to work with each of the talented professionals
to create a memorable evening celebrating Vincent Van Gogh.

While reminscing about our events,
we picked a few “Favorite 2011 Moments” to share with you.

Many thanks to the talented photographers behind the lens.

Staying Inspired Together

Staying at tops of trends with NYC field trips to Flower Mart and NYC Gift Shows.

Checking out the latest linen styles at with Ruth Fischul in New York.

We all remembered this moment when we saw this image!
Rainy skies cleared and we were able to change the indoor “rain plan” ceremony to the original outdoor ceremony at The Horticultural Center.

No matter what time of day, Las Vegas is all about fun.

TableArt had a blast last weekend at URBN working
with Leslie Rosen Catering transforming
the industrial space into a glitzy Vegas themed Bar Mitzvah.

Christine Foster Photography was on location capturing
all of the details of this fabulous event.
TableArt has combined our photographs with hers
to show you the dramatic effect lighting has on day and night.

Blackjack

As guests entered the building, they were visually dazzled by a modern composition
of green cymbidium orchids, star fish-shaped orange mokara orchids and sumptuous,
bi-color picante orange calla lilies accented by flickering votives and floating candles.

Watch out Rat Pack – This was going to be memorable evening!

Double down

The Roulette table was used as an escort card table complete with
poker chips designed for adult place cards.
Later in the evening, the table was twice the fun with high rollers
of all age trying their luck trying to beat the odds.

Meanwhile, the kids were having a blast searching for their special message
rolled up inside a bottle located in “Treasure Island”.

Treasure maps lead the kids to
their table named after a famous Las Vegas Hotel.

 ”Skyscrapers” of  multi-colored funfetti mapped out in various color sequences
spanned the length of each table.
The effect was cool by day and smokin’ hot at night!

Sunlight streaming through the jelly-like funfett inside the glass columns placed
on top of the perforated stainless steel tables provided by URBN looked phenomenal!
