Photo of the Day: Celestial Beauty

We have stars in our eyes for this stunning celestial-themed wedding! Love you to the moon and back? Sure, but it should be more like “love you to the galaxies and beyond.”

This gorg design features our geometric drop chandeliers, geometric diamond chandeliers, white wall palette, a sweet gobo wash, and beautiful earth tone florals. Above all, the minimal vibe pairs beautifully with the celestial-themed seating chart hanging amidst all the blooms. *swoon*

Photo of the Week

We absolutely adore this photo of Alice and Joe that was captured by Junshien Photography! We had a ton of fun working with them to discover a way to bring the starry night sky indoors!

Casa Amore 2017

These vendor showcases are a labor of love, as we started working with our design teams months ago to bring our ideas to life. We were lucky enough to share our spaces with some amazing creative partners, who were all inspiring and such a joy to work with, so be sure to check them out!

We haven’t received any of the professional photos yet, but we wanted to share some of our favorite looks from the evening that we captured ourselves!

We were so excited to unveil our Statue LOVE Letters! Standing 8′ tall, they’re an amazing statement piece and they would be so much fun for photographs. We will be offering these letters in both the dark wood seen here and white! Nicole Ha Design always outdoes herself, and this year was no different! Our 9′ Round Crystal Beaded Chandelier is always stunning, but adding in the 20′ long Crystal Beaded Column, 5 Light Crystal Chandeliers, and greenery on the top takes it over the edge! We wanted to create a twist on our 12’x12′ Beaded Crystal Chandelier, so say hello to our Fabric Chandelier! Adding the GOBO patterns and 25 Light Crystal Chandelier will help create a stunning focal point over your dance floor! This may have been one of the smallest vignettes…but it was certainly one of our favorites! Our Black Velour Drapery and Edison Bulbs add to the autumnal dream Nicole Ha created! We loved getting the opportunity to collaborate with Liz of Enchantment Floral in this whimsical vignette! Our 16 Light Crystal Chandeliers complement the design so well! 

Our brand new 12′ Arbor is a really exciting addition to our inventory! It’s totally versatile and can be used in many different ways alongside our other items, like our Edison Bulbs and Geometric Chandeliers, but we especially love the look that Karl of Delford West created with the greenery!

Photo of the Week

We absolutely ADORE this photo of Erin and Scott during their first dance! They had such a fun decor set up for their sweetheart table that helped serve as a wonderful backdrop for this dance. Thank you to Jessica Miriam Photo for this image!

The Fantasy Sound Difference: Gobo Washes

This is the third chapter of The Fantasy Sound Difference series. The first chapter highlights our drapery services and the second chapter highlights our chandeliers.

There’s a reason gobo washes are a favorite lighting effect of ours! They are just so versatile and have the ability to completely transform an event space into something magical. For those who aren’t lighting aficionados like us, a gobo wash is a lighting template that projects a pattern of your choice onto an event space. Read on for more details!

Ahead of the game
We like to think we’re on top of the latest trends, so we ensure that our catalogue of gobo washes is continuously growing! We aim to offer the latest, freshest designs to give your wedding a unique and special touch.

Focus!
Don’t waste your time with blurred lines! We understand that you only want the tip-top quality when it comes to lighting design, which is why we guarantee that your gobo washes will always be sharp and in focus.

The perfect fit
Not only are our gobo washes the perfect fit for you, but we promise your unique pattern will be cropped just right to fill the space perfectly. No need to worry about unsightly overlaps or cut-offs!

Picture-perfect
We’re guessing you want a lot of pictures taken at your wedding, right? Well, with a Fantasy Sound gobo wash, we guarantee that they’ll show up consistently photogenic! We put a great deal of effort into ensuring that our gobo washes are symmetrical, so they look superb from every angle.

Crystal chandeliers also played a part in the reception, as did a soft GOBO print wash on the dance floor. Kirsten, Tobey, and their family and friends made great use of the dance floor (lots of happy, sore feet at the end of the night!) and we loved having the opportunity to DJ for them! Their playlist was on point and even the guest requests were lots of fun. 🙂

Michele and Matthew’s Romantic Casa Real Wedding

It doesn’t get more romantic than a Valentine’s Day wedding, now does it? From the moment we met with Michele and Matthew and found out their date was on the national holiday of love, we knew we had our work cut out for us – and we couldn’t wait! We made it our goal to transform Casa Real into the most gorgeous and dreamy spot for the pair’s special night and we did just that.

Krista and Joe’s Wedding at Martinelli Event Center!

Krista Gomez and Joe Mancuso became Mrs. and Mr. Mancuso on September 22nd, 2012 at Martinelli Event Center, and we were lucky enough to be on hand for their special day! They selected Nick to be their DJ, and they also decided to use our Event Lighting services in the courtyard and the event center. Nick first met with the couple in May, and right from the start you could tell that his style matched with theirs perfectly. They had a few meetings together, and their wedding day was here before we knew it!

The couple chose a color scheme of different shades of purple and champagne, and they had fun touches sprinkled throughout the reception. Check out the scrumptious candy bar and elegant photo table. AND THAT CAKE! So beautiful and elegant. Krista and Joe picked a lot of great vendors to work with, and that always makes our job a lot easier. Karl from Delford West provided the beautiful floral arrangements, and Mark from MSR Photography captured all the beautiful moment. All the photos in this blog were taken by Nick, but we are looking forward to receiving some more images from Mark…so keep your eyes peeled!

Krista and Joe’s wedding took place all over the Martinelli property, with the ceremony being held on the back lawn, the cocktail hour in the courtyard, dinner in the event center, and dancing brought all the guests back to the courtyard. The couple decided that they wanted our event lighting both in the event center and the courtyard, and it gave us a great opportunity to do something we have never done before! We did GOBO patterns and uplights in the event center, and then had some market lighting and GOBO patterns outside in the courtyard! The market lights were great to dance under, and Nick made sure to keep the party going!

Krista and Joe’s wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect! There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, and it was a comfortably warm day and evening. We loved working with this relaxed and fun-loving couple, and we wish them all the best in their future together.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Mancuso!

Jessica and Paulo’s Wedding at Casa Real!

Jessica and Paulo tied the knot on June 15th, 2012 at Casa Real. They chose to take advantage of the gorgeous weather, and decided to have their ceremony out in the Sun Garden. They then moved inside in the evening, and had their reception in the Grand Salon. They chose a romantic color scheme of champagne, blush pink, and ivory, and completely transformed the room!

We love this shot that Rhee of Rhee Bevere Photography captured, when Jessica and Paulo are seeing the Grand Salon for the first time. It’s such an amazing moment…because Jessica and Paulo designed their dream Event Lighting look, and seeing it all come together is so meaningful.

Rhee is always amazing to work with, and she was generous enough to share all the pictures with us! Let me tell you, it was SO hard to pick our favorites, because we had so many…luckily we were able to create these collages to showcase all of them!

Just look at that drapery! Jessica and Paulo were the first couple to utilize our double hung drapery, and it made such a statement behind their head table! They also used some uplighting to transform the color of our Ivory drapery to a blush pink.

Jessica and Paulo share the first dance, under our 12 Light Crystal Chandeliers, with a beautiful backdrop of drapery and GOBO patterns. They also designed their Custom Monogram GOBO, which you can see on the floor. They certainly created a lighting design that adds drama and romance to all of their photos!

I mean just look at all the different angles of the room…it’s stunning!

We want to wish Jessica and Paulo all the best in their future together, and thank them for not only picking us to be their Lighting vendor, but for creating such a beautiful design! It is so rewarding for us when we are able to make our client’s dreams come true!Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Brasil!

Chris and Marnie’s Wedding at Palm Event Center!

Marnie and Chris reached out to us about a week or so before their July 4th wedding at Palm Event Center, wanting to add some lighting to their grey and yellow vintage wedding. We were more than happy to oblige, and their vision for the wedding sounded amazing, and we were excited to be a part of it! Since it was so close to their wedding date, we didn’t really get a chance to know Chris and Marnie, but we could tell that they were a fun loving couple, and it seemed like their wedding was going to be one huge party. When we received some photographs from Amber Silva of Love Story Pictures, who is AWESOME by the way, we knew that our first impression of Marnie and Chris was spot on! You can tell that everyone was having a BLAST at their wedding, and the GOBO covered dance floor was packed all night!

Check out Chris and Marnie’s matching Converse shoes! They were owning the dancefloor all night with their guests.

They had a lot of fun with the garter toss, incorporating some Jabbawockeez flair. Chris did a little dance for Marnie, and she was so surprised! We aren’t sure if Chris is actually a Jabbawockee….but he sure looks like he could be!

Thank you Marnie and Chris for inviting us to be a part of your special day! We wish the two of you all the best in your future together!
