It’s mitzvah time! Here are some shots of an adorable bat mitzvah I did recently. While “themes” are on the outs for the sophisticated set, there is always something around which the design is anchored. For this event, I created a simple, six-petaled flower because I couldn’t find just the right artwork out there in the big wide world. Hot pink, green, yellow, and orange were the palette and white-slip-covered funiture provided a place for the eye to rest. The highlight was a fabulous twenty-foot-long pink dessert table that was wheeled in and lit up right after the montage and just as the DJ cranked the first notes of “I Will Survive.” And trust me, after that long day, it was the perfect moment to sit back and enjoy my handiwork.
