A Birthday Celebration- Gala Award Nominee











Guests meandered through an English garden to celebrate the life-long memories for twin sisters marking a milestone birthday. Blooming floribunda, meticulously groomed topiaries and a butterfly sanctuary were combined to nestle inside an intimate ballroom environment.

Even the family pets were painstakingly recreated from fresh floral and were playfully perched on a tuft of Kentucky Blue Grass.

Two hundred and twenty friends and family entered through towering stone garden gates into a private orangerie. Towering centerpieces, a 10-tier caked enhanced with fresh product and ceiling chandeliers of crystal and florals used a staggering 38,345 fresh floral blossoms.

Held at Bellagio Resort, Las Vegas


Nirvana- Gala Award Winner














Good Karma…

Transcendental overtones treated guests to a state of Nirvana. Highlights included an entry “tunnel of enlightenment” leading into a lush garden and reflecting pond in the ballroom foyer. An event space layered with imported saris and embroidered textiles, complete with elevated rotating lounges, was created. A five-course gourmet meal was served to guests at tables dressed in vibrant silks and covered with batik-dyed umbrellas. Each of the 150 centerpieces was different and unique from one another.

Held at Mirage Las Vegas


The Passion of L’Affaire-Gala Award Winner









Verdigris gates opened to reveal a romantic botanical paradise. Manicuredhedging, stone sculptures, and blooming vignettes accented the formal gardens.

The ballroom was festooned with stately floral chandeliers and scrolling fleur de lis.A stage platform designed as an Impressionist’s canvas descended from the ceiling unveiling a variety of dancers and acrobatic performers.

Held at MGM Grand Las Vegas

An Enchanted Evening-Gala Award Nominee







Perfumed impressions of plumeria and lavender filled the forest. Dusk approached as the evening light and haze created a magical playground for fairies and nymphs. In the distance a unicorn wandered aimlessly while colorful butterflies fluttered upon floral-laden branches.

The five human senses were titillated throughout the evening while attention to the smallest detail enabled guests to begin a journey into a childlike fantasy.

A vision. A dream. A reality.
