As the doors opened to the ballroom the guests saw a room filled with bright colored florals and feathers.

We choose an ocean blue linen for all of the tables and then paired it with bright colored napkins and chair cushions. We did a mix of yellow, orange, hot pink and lime green accents to coordinate with the blue.

A combination of round and rectangle tables were placed in the room and we designed three different looks for the table designs.

One of the centerpieces was a large vase filled with aqua water and bright colored feathers. Did I say bright? Yes these feathers were bright!

The adults and kids received a take home keepsake bag with Jackie’s Cruise Ship logo on it.

The long rectangle tables had three floral designs placed on each table.

The focal point on the table was made up of a variety of tropical leaves and flowers to include ti leaves, mokara orchids and anthirium. We also worked with Two Paper Dolls on creating these unique cabin numbers which we hung from all of the arrangements.

We also hung small anchors to add another detail to the tall pieces.

The third centerpiece had a lush mixed look.

This arrangement was accented with hanging life preservers.

This shot shows how lighting makes a different. If there was no pin spot light on the centerpiece this shot would have looked dark but instead the colors of the flowers look vibrant and bright.

For the kids, we created a “Lido Deck” similar to that of the well know show titled the Love Boat. We had an area of hi tops and low tops with market umbrellas. We also placed elephant, rabbit and swan towel art on some of the tables.

This was a really fun Bat Mitzvah to design! We wish Jackie and her whole family much happiness.
