When we were first told about the colors for this event, we were skeptical, to say the least. Turquoise and orange were the colors requested for the decor up-lighting, and when we walked in and looked at the table clothes, napkins and drapery, we were shocked at how well it all came together. The theme of this holiday party was a Mad Hatter/Scrooge flare with a Winter Wonderland ambience. The Venetian room at Madonna Inn was bustling with several event professionals all working together to make this party amazing, and amazing it definitely was. We provided turquoise color washing on most of the back wall with a warming orange glow around and behind the trio of Christmas trees in the middle of the wall. The stone pillars throughout the dining area had large olive branches attached to them which gave the effect of the “Winter Wonderland”; we up-lit these branches with turquoise. The effect it gave was magical and made you feel as if you were out in the middle of a snowy forest. The fireplace near the bar had a simple electric fireplace insert which gave a dull ember glow. We added to this glow by playing off the Scrooge part of the theme and adding a lighting effect that gave the fireplace a more vibrant orange rippling effect that mimicked a fire. We had a lot of fun doing the up-lighting for this event. It was exciting to see how the lighting can transform, compliment and enhance an already well decorated room.
