Cal State Fullerton Communications Week

We have had so many great interns from Cal State Fullerton who have come to work side by side with our team to understand all aspects that make Shawna Yamamoto Event Design.  Dedicated, hard working students who are interested in the event industry come to SYED and participate in the procedures that goes into the design process; experience is key to these students.  They are a huge part of our production process and executing designs.  Headed by SYED team member Shaynee, these interns work behind the scenes to help prepare all decor elements incorporated in an event whether it be adorning vases or constructing backdrops or prop fabrications.

Today, I had the opportunity to participate in the university's Communcation's Internship Fair.  Along with 14 other companies, SYED offered different intern positions to these communication students.  It was a great opportunity to meet the advisors of this program and eager students who want to come and work for SYED.



I wanted to give a big thanks to CSUF for inviting us to the fair, I had such a great time!!

SYED Featured on Ambrose Weddings Blog

We were so delighted to meet Kristine from Ambrose Weddings at a recent Wedding Store 24 bridal show.  An intimate show located at the Double Tree in San Pedro, vendors and brides were able to mingle and enjoy a beautiful, sunny California day! As the show began Kristine approached us immediately and we had an instant bond!!! Her recent blog combined tips and personal advice from vendors from different industry back grounds.  SYED design team member Shaynee and I commented specifically on advise for coming up with ideas for decor and were quoted in her blog.  Check it out!!


Kristine also provided some great images from that day!  Our design for the show included a 8' tall centerpiece with crystals and orchid garlands pouring down capturing  a sparkling and colorful waterfall effect.  Towards the bottom of the designs, various platforms, lanterns and vessels accented the table scape.  An abundant amount of candle light provided that special glow to the design.

Event: Herbalife Summit 2012

What an amazing week of events.  I wanted to share some of my favorite images with you from the 2012 Herbalife Summit.  A special thanks to Evoke Photography for all of the wonderful images!!!

Pop Art
SYED loves floral art! Since this event was geared towards Diana Ross's performance at the Nokia Theatre, we decided to make floral pop art with Diana's album covers! Other fun decor elements included pops of color, raspberry and blueberry, birdcages and candle stands used within each eclectic design. 


Desert Dream
We made this mirage come to reality! Rich golds and whites were used throughout the space at the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles.  Accents of blue were added to each design to bring that pop of color! Sand blasted grapevine and succulents added that touch of rawness and desert reality. Amazing white and gold cabanas were provided by BTB Event Production which served as lounge vignettes. 




Grow
The decor for this room captured the essence of growth within nature.  An abundance of greenery and massive trees produced by our team really transformed this room into a sprouting forest.

SYED Featured on BizBash

I am extremely excited to report that SYED has been feature on BizBash today!  A week full of events for the annual Herbalife Summit, we were extremely excited to participate in this event.  Conceptual ideas for this amazing event spurred from the creative mind of Alexandra Rembac at Sterling Engagements.  The featured article focused on the final event, the closing gala.  Located at the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles, Herbalife occupied three floors of ballroom space within this venue.  Each room had a different theme allowing for guests to have multiple experiences from each ballroom.  Grow, imagine, and dream became the driving themes behind each ballroom.

Check out the today's featured article and more images on BizBash!
