Always a bridesmaid, never the bride?

Well, ladies, we have two words for you… “Galentine’s Day” – it’s simply, YOUR day.

“It’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.”

– Leslie Knope of “Parks and Recreation.”

So, ditch all of the men in your life and plan a night out with your closest friends!

Or, let us give you some ideas on how to throw the perfect Galentine’s Day party at home.  To begin, you will need all-things pink. And, wine… lots of wine!

Pink, wine, sweets and good company – it’s a recipe for the ultimate “Girls Night In!”

Event Name: Randi Events Corporate Holiday Party
Event Date: January 16, 2016
Event Designers: Julia Page & Summer Jones
Venue: Marathon Music Works

When the idea of bringing a “winter wonderland” to Marathon Music Works for our January 16^th corporate holiday party came about, we were SO excited to get started!! Nashville was finally getting chilly and what better way to celebrate the new year than with an icy blue-out event?! It wasn’t quite cold enough for snow at the time, but we found a way to make it snow in Nashville! Guest walked into the venue under a light dusting of “snow” as we brought the winter wonderland to life.

We brought in all white leather and silver metallic furniture (yes, silver metallic!!) adorned with white fur rugs and our favorite cozy white fireplaces. All tables were dressed in white sequin linen to really make the room’s blue wash ‘pop’.  Now for the table arrangements – WOW! The Enchanted Florist blew us away with their modern, white florals with white feather accents.  They were the perfect touch in creating our crisp, iced-out event.

Attendees had the option of challenging their co-workers in ski-ball and basketball shoot outs.  Whether they were playing games or making silly faces in the photo booth, they definitely found time to sketch on the 12×12 virtual graffiti wall we brought in.  Here’s the scoop: You take your photo in front of the green screen and then are able to “spray” virtual graffiti on your picture to add fun touches.

When planning the menu, we really wanted traditional winter dishes.  G Catering knocked our socks off with their classic pot roast and sausage stuffing, no guests left hungry!

Event Name: Video Gaming Technologies
Event Date: December 18, 2015
Event Designer: Sarah Miller
Venue: The Factory at Franklin

The week before family and friends went home for the holidays, Video Gaming Technologies hosted their annual Christmas party.  A red carpet welcomed guests into The Factory at Franklin.

Keeping with traditional colors of the season the event was decorated in reds, whites, and golds.  This year the theme was “Christmas Around the World” so each food station was decorated and dressed to represent each country. Dreamy fireplaces flickered and the Christmas tree stood tall, while guests enjoyed scrumptious appetizers provided by Chef’s Market and danced the night away. We look forward to designing next year’s event.

Event Name: TSCPA
Event Date: December 12, 2015
Event Designer: Grey Boroff
Venue: Cannery Ballroom

Each December, The Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants (TSCPA) hold their annual holiday party here in Nashville, Tennessee. The event includes a raffle with luxurious prizes and fun gifts for everyone.

This year- we went with a “Great Gatsby” theme, which let’s be honest- it’s the best theme ever! The event was held at the Cannery Ballroom- a perfect fit for the crowd. The design featured a jaw dropping, feather chandelier at the gold draped, grand entrance. The black and gold sequin linens were the perfect touch to tie in The Great Gatsby theme- very Art DecoJ The guests dined on a custom menu from G-Catering which featured a prohibition themed ice cream bar complete with alcohol infused ice cream, can you say yummy!? Throughout the night, the guests were able to play blackjack, roulette and even Texas hold em’. The night was a success and we cannot wait to work with the TSCPA crew in the future.
