Citrus Themed Thanksgiving Decor

Posted in Dinner Party, Holiday Inspiratoin, Party Inspiration by

Do you ever find yourself drawn to unusual takes on traditional decor? Maybe when everyone is focused on red and green, you opt for a stylized modern white and gold vignette? Or perhaps you find a unique way to incorporate warm citrus hues into your Thanksgiving table. When I first saw this teal buffet, with its rustic branch elements and citrus accents, I knew it wouldn’t be for everyone, but it would absolutely be a look for me. As a native Floridian, I am often spoiled by our year-round access to fresh and delicious citrus. There is something to captivating and warming about the vibrant hues of the lightly textured fruit. After seeing this simple but beautiful buffet spread, I thought that Thanksgiving and citrus really do make for quite the duo. They both emanate warmth and happiness, but I think it’s the citrus that really elevates this Thanksgiving decor to a higher level, bringing in a sense of freshness to the table.

Shades of a teal blue and off white help balance out the orange hues, as to protect them from overwhelming the decor, but it’s the textures and shapes that really help to keep this look from becoming overdone. The different shapes and sizes of the fresh fruit table runner softens the design, especially with the foliage and branch accents mixed in. This teal blue and citruss hue styling lends itself to a smaller, more intimate dinner party experience.

Here’s what I had in mind for this citrus themed Thanksgiving decor:

Rainforest Jungle Themed Fundraiser Inspiration

Posted in Corporate Events, Party Inspiration, Wedding Inspiration by

Looking for a fun new theme for your next party? If you are looking for ideas for your next celebration, fundraiser, or anything else in between, say no to the done (and overdone!) Night in New York or Derby themes, and try something new!

The rainforest jungle theme is so versatile, and can be used for so many different types of events.  For those willing to go all out at their events will be sure to leave their guests saying WOW!

Now, if you are not in Florida like I am, this event will probably only make sense during the summer time. But if you COULD host it, and you COULD go all out, wouldn’t it be awesome?

In the perfect setting, guests would be welcomed in through an outdoor butterfly habitat, and walk through luscious tropical plants as they make their way into the party. Light fog and background music true to the sounds of the rainforest would welcome them into the jungle of a party. Oh, and lots of fruity drinks for everyone! Umbrellas optional.

Key elements to this event would be:

  • The surrounding- The more tropical foliage, the better!
  • The palate – fruity fun drinks and tropical flavors are a must.
  • Linen prints – keep the prints to a select few of your favorite animal prints that are roughly the same scale for a cohesive look. Use them as accents if possible, so to not overwhelm the look.

Welcome to Unique Pastiche Events!

If you are looking for wedding and event inspiration, you’ve come to the right place! This site is where I will be sharing with you my weekly ideas and inspiration boards, as well as sharing event planning tips and tricks along the way.

Here is a little bit about me:

My name is Sasha, and I am currently an Independent Events Contractor working in the Central Florida area and founder of Unique Pastiche Events. I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida’s: Rosen College of Hospitality Management program with my bachelor’s degree in Event Management. My passion is for special events, but especially event design.

What is event design you ask? I consider event design to be the creation and concept that goes into every part of an event. Sometimes it is referred to as the theme of the event, but I look it more as being the guiding light that connects and pulls together all of the different elements that go into a wedding, party or event. I want the events that I design; regardless of the budget involved, to be unique and memorable, and not something straight out of a box.

Moving forward, you can expect to see lots of event and wedding inspiration from me! If you have an event coming up and think you may be in need of my services as either a planner and coordinator, or designer, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d love to be a part of your special event!
