Favorite Decor Elements of the Week from Enzoani Fashion Event

We had the pleasure to work the amazing team at Enzoani for their annual fashion event. This was our second year participating in this amazing 3 day long event. This years design was a combination of fashion and location. Since the event was held at the Newport Marriott right next to Fashion Island, there was a strong sense of modern oceanic elements present in the designs. Here are some of my favorites from this week!

This runway lounge was a perfect addition to the cocktail area where guests were able to enjoy a few cocktails before and after the show. An amazing teal sofa, provided by Form Decor was an eye catching piece to this environment (I'm in love with the Lillian Sofa!). Behind the sofa, we created a museum like backdrop using our acrylic columns abling us to use decor on the interior and exterior of the clear columns.









This lounge inspired by Enzoani's fabulous new prom line held consistent to the modern oceanic theme seen in the photos above. White lounge furniture provided by Chiavari Chair Rentals made these existing canopy's another great area to enjoy the event! For our designs, we used a
collection of different clear vases and added silver coral fans and beautiful Vanda orchids. Each design topped with candles to add just enough candle light.







Final favorite design element of the week came from the last day of the Enzoani Fashion Event. We partially reused the runway lounge vignette, just to add some fun to the Love section in Enzoani's trade show. The colors we used went very well with the vibrant colors of this dress line.




What a great event we were able to be a part of!!

Inspiration: Buildings and Structures

Inspiration for design can come from a multitude of different outlets. To get the creative juices flowing our SYED team turns to art, fashion, trends, and architecture. We are always thinking how to make our tablescapes and designs different and interesting, or what we like to say here at SYED "pushing the limits to what is ordinary and conventional". More often than not pushing those limits require us to put our carpentry skills to the test, in order to fabricate something that will be exciting and new for our clients.

As I was researching for this blog I came across some photos of buildings and structures that resemble some of the designs we've constructed. I thought it would be interesting to see them side by side and note some similarities.

Although the inspiration photo is a single building, these two structures compare in form and also design. The centerpiece we fabricated out of fencing material shares a similar criss cross effect that the building conveys. Both standing structures also share similarities in its varying heights. This centerpiece was one of many for this specific event. Each piece was designed specifically to be different and bear a modernistic feeling. Check out the next piece which was also used in the same event.

These cut out boxes are modern and fun designs which as you see below can be used horizontally or vertically. The design specifically allows for "window" decor, or in this case we input beautiful white calla lillies. Comparing it to the inspiration image below, these houses are extremely modern in style. Providing that same "window" effect, the structure allows for visual clearance and a sense of openness.

This last design, a modern take on a classical and timeless column structure. However for our columns, instead of classical capitals or ornate heads of columns, we choose to wrap it in fun and decorative wire. Attached to the top of the column were silver metallic faux succulents and bud vases with single blooms of purple phalaenopsis orchids.

Its interesting to see all the similarities and how architecture can inspire or shape many of our designs.
