The first night's event, "Evening Under The Stars" was at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The tent was erected on the island that is between the Waldorf and Hilton Bonnet Creek. Our role was to enhance the experience both outside and under the tent. We accomplished this by providing tons of candle light reflected through glass mosaic hurricane linen the entrance and perimeter of the island. Twinkle lights illuminated the bridge decorated with natural draping greenery and white dendrobium orchid sprays.
The stage was enhanced with illuminated wax luminaries. A large stately arrangement of white phalenopsis orchids framed the Broadway Performer Linda Eder as she entertained guest for this chairman's dinner.
The tables were set with a lush arrangement of white phalenopsis orchids and hydrangea. Our silver chargers glistened in the abundant candlelight.
The second night events took place at the Hilton Orlando.
The white washed room was the back drop for tables dressed with white floral. The only color throughout was black napkins and chair sashes. Varying size and styled centerpieces of hydrangea, roses and mini calla lilies were set aglow with candle light.
The Bull & Bear Steakhouse at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando was the location for the final nights festivities. Beautiful deep burgundy roses (Black Magic variety) and rusty orange mokara orchids towered over guest atop a gold ornate candle stick. The tables were layered in fabric, chargers and gold rimmed stemware. Amber beaded candle holders and red votive defined the mood for the entire venue.
Thanks for the ever amazing talents of Edmund Rhodes with Rhodes Studios for capturing such great images of the week long events.
