David and Ilana's B'nai Mitzvah

David and Ilana celebrated their three day B'nai Mitzvah at the Diplomat Hotel (http://www.diplomatresort.com/). Stephanie Esquenazi was there every step of the way to make sure that these young adults had the perfect experience.

The first day really celebrated David. The color theme for his luncheon were bright shades of yellow, blue and green. Each table included a very funky and swirled pattern table linen in those shades of colors. For the floral arrangements, Petal Productions around 6 assorted height cylinder vases and filled them with green colored water. Each vase was further accented with a monochromatic arrangement of either blue and white hydrangeas, yellow mini calla lilies, lime green roses, vibrant yellow roses, and yellow french tulips.
The second day celebrated both David and Ilana. And the themed that they choose couldn't have been better or more creative. Their theme was "Life is Good" and we had a blast with it! We made an assortment of different posters and signs with a variety of "Life is Good" quotes and images. We placed these signs around the cocktail hour and used the signs as large and custom backdrop behind the bar area. The entire ballroom was draped with crushed satin orange fabric with an intelligent lighting package that projected an assortment of lights and designs. We also created custom acrylic round bar with a custom piece that was glued onto either sides of the bar. The bar was divided by the custom back drop and where as one side was for the adults, the other was themed for David, Ilana and their friends to create snow cones and other yummy kid friendly drinks. We also placed in their designated area a cool and funky lounge set that really coordinated perfectly with their mutual color theme. This lounge area was placed on top of a riser and include matching yellow, orange and brown pillows. A custom gobo was project through out the evening with a custom monogram of David and Ilana's name and "Life is Good" themed characters.

For the adult table floral arrangements, we placed long rectangle tables with white linens and placed large pieces of drift wood, and decorate them with green hydrangeas, yellow and orange penne orchids, yellow and orange cymbidium orchids, red pin cushions, yellow and mango calla lilies, orange circus roses, and yellow roses. We created matching and smaller pieces of drift wood for David and Ilana's young adult table, that consisted of high and low cocktail tables and dressed with chocolate and orange linens.

The last and final day of the weekend celebration was all about Ilana. For the table centerpieces, Ilana choose a cake centerpiece, each sitting on top of a custom cake box covered in green floral buttons. Each cake was decorated differently but kept with the hot pink, yellow, orange and green color theme.
A great special thank you to the talented Andrew Duany (http://www.andrewduany.com/) for the wonderful pictures!!
