Glitz, Glamour, and Glass: Gorgeous Birthday Party at Saks Fifth Ave!

We are in love with the chic look of clear glass and all mirrored surfaces. And when you put that in a space that says cool and couture like Saks Fifth Avenue, how can you go wrong?! This event was for a client that wanted to celebrate her birthday in a place she and her girlfriends enjoy and a place that represented her sense of style and taste; Saks.

We set-up a gorgeous healthy ‘ladies-friendly’ lunch buffet among the racks, along the store’s stunning mirrored counter tops. We utilized our own mirrored platters and clear glass containers to mimic the clean design of the store’s show room.

Detail: Salmon fillets presented on mirrors with homemade dressings served in glass carafes.

Stunning Southern Spread for a Silver 25th Anniversary

Celebrating life’s milestones is the greatest joy in this profession. This anniversary was mesmerizing; from the amazing tented dance floor to the traditionally elegant buffets, this event encapsulates summer sophistication and time-honored romance at it finest.

View of the table settings, we kept it clean and simple with a crisp white linen napkin, cutlery, and a wine glass.

Red Decadence- "Fallen in Love"

This engagement party was inspired by this couple’s “Falling in Love.” Because the party took place at the end of September, we wanted to play on the seasonal shift to fall as the leaves change from verdant green to sumptuous vermillion. The party was designed in chic clean white, black, and the color of love, red.

As the guests entered they were greeted by beautiful glowing red floral arrangements enhanced with red votive candles, and extenuated with a mix of circular and square mirrors.

We used a mix wooden folding chairs with red sashes, red chivari chairs, and clear acrylic ghost chairs (our latest favorite part furniture!) to accompany red, black, and patterned linen. This mixture made a vibrant shift in textures and color without overwhelming the eye.

This is an excellent way to save the client money by supplementing their already beautiful furniture with a few rental items.

Ghost chairs, glass tables, red votives, and a few red rose petals.

Of course no Added Touch party is complete without an over the top five star dinner buffet and in this case we had two! We served a “They Flipped for Each Other” Chef Attended Burger Station complete with beef and turkey burger, various buns sauces, toppings, hot French fries, awesome onion rings, and blanched broccoli.

We also served a They Fell in Love at the Beach Destin Buffet with Blackened Amberjack and Lemon Butter Sauce, Whole Wheat Couscous and Mograbiah with Oven Dried Tomatoes and goat Cheese, And Romaine & Arugula Salad with Sliced Peaches Served with a Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

We had two dessert carts with all red and white desserts. We served Sweet and Sticky Homemade Red Candy Apples, Awesome Red Velvet Cupcakes, Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, and passed Individual Raspberry Sorbets
