An Artful Approach to Having a Ball
by Tiffany Batchelor
Luxury event design requires an artful eye, spatial balance, and resources to build what the imagination creates. Haute Belle Events brings a unique design expertise to event planning. When Avenue I Events was approached to collaborate, the response was immediate.
The Art Museum of South Texas offers a grand space for maximum entertaining. Our goal was to create youthful elegance using a metallic blend of colors for a special Debutante Ball. Texture, fabrics, and lighting are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, while music, bites, and bar appeal to the rest of the senses.
Imagination began to take shape as we dreamed up ways to implement youthful sophistication through balloons, use of floor space, furniture, menu and unique ways to document the fun.
The design came into focus through backdrops of white and silver balloons and mirrored disco balls, creatively situated in pools or swags. The venue sparkled with bursts of gold, white, and silver here, there, and everywhere. The entry, food display, bar, photo booth, stairwell, and stage all basked in the decorative glory.
A thoughtful menu for a polished honoree required bite sized ingenuity served on a marble platter. Champagne bubbles with masterpiece stir sticks, and her name in white with a disco ball, added to the hype.
The night’s focus was to celebrate Olivia surrounded by family and friends. No better way to elevate the party than with an insanely talented band with all the right moves. Olivia showcasing her inner star on stage with the mic and a balloon drop dramatically adding the exclamation point.
Last call and goodbyes were accompanied with mini cookies and milk. Elegantly executed, this event and collaboration was an absolute ball.
