Berger Bat Mitzvah | Mitzvah Market Spotlight

 

What a great to surprise to open my email this morning and see that Sydney's Bat Mitzvah was highlighted on MitzvahMarket.Com today! I was introduced to the Berger Family by Ann Marie Casey when Sydney's brother Jacob celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at the National Constitution Center. So I was so delighted when Ann Marie was the photographer for this event Social Media Themed party. Some of the amazing photos she shot of the details are captured in the MitzvahMarket.Com spotlight - but here is a sneak peek of some of the table details!

And those are just the tip of the iceberg! The Please Touch Museum is the incredible venue where the party was hosted, On Q Productions did the Lighting and Draping, and Brûlée Catering served up amazing food from start to finish. And...as if that wasn't enough - check out this amazing intro film created for Sydney's entrance by CinemaCake!

Cocktails and Connection: The Knot |The Bump

Campbell Studios was so psyched when Mark Kingsdorf of The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants asked us to be the Floral Sponsor for last nights sold out industry networking event held at The Please Touch Museum (PTM) by The Knot. Kim Rifici (Catering & Facility Senior Sales Manager for Max and Me Catering at the PTM) and I had such a fun time picking the rentals out to compliment Mark's "Speak Easy/1920's Art Deco Party" theme inspiration. We started with the linens that Nancy Bauman from Gala Cloths provided and it all started to come together. 

When guests entered the South Foyer, they were greeted with an Art Deco vibe..the Pluto Linen dressed the tables here and Campbell Studios used all silver toned containers in sleek designs. When I look at all the vintage wedding portraits I have collected from that time period, (aside from the masses of Plumosus Fern!) I think of classic flowers such as Baby's Breath, Chrysanthemums, Gardenias and Roses. I also think of those gorgeous Max Leverrier Deco Lamps. So as a homage to the 20's we made giant Baby's Breath spheres on trumpet vases, tulips in stylized tulip vases and roses/gardenias here and there. Ann Marie Casey was attending and graciously shot a couple set up pics for us...Thank You AMC!

The white furniture from Dave Buckley from AFR kept the design grounded and Ellen Diamond Williamson from On Q Productions Inc. highlighted all the details with her fabulous lighting team. Shutterbooth gave everyone a chance to capture the moment with complimentary photo booth fun.

When guests moved on from cocktails into Hamilton Hall we flowed from "Deco" to "Speak Easy." Bentwood chairs added just the right touch to the Waldorf Damask linens...we finished them off with cigar boxes, vintage books and ferns (I had to get the ferns in there somewhere!)

Carmen Tomassetti and the CTO Artists rocked the house while Dave Williams of CinemaCake captured it all on film for the evening! Susan Beard Photography was the official Photographer Sponsor - stay tuned for their event images!

Brian Toner from Eventions kept all the sponsors logos rolling on his video screens - like ours which recently made its debut:

Everyone wrapped up the evening with coffee that Marci Mathis from Maui Wowi provided and my favorite food group cake by Esgro's Pasticceria in the Carousel House.Thank you everyone for making this event so exciting to produce and attend!

Katy Goodman | The Please Touch Museum

Katy and Jeff  found me via Sofia Negron - their photographer, and we hit it off from the start! The Wedding and Reception were both held at The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. Various shades of reds made up the color pallet - all developing from the 'Red Majestic' callas in her bouquet...(which ended up not being as red as anticipated; but a call earlier in the week to the bride to talk about color assured all that it would balance out the red bridesmaids perfectly - and it did!) The colors flowed through the event beautifully. 

The silver foiled containers gave consistency to both the centerpiece designs, while the red napkins brought the signature color to the edge of the table.

I love the way Sofia catches moments like this, when you are not looking at the camera - but are truly in the moment..
