Arizona Hoedown

On occasion, Design Works is asked to travel outside of Colorado and in the past, these requests have taken us to Montana, Hawaii, Illinois, Georgia and Wyoming. Most recently we traveled to Arizona for a private party held at a cattle ranch. The client's beautiful barn was the setting for this event and Design Works helped to create an updated Western Hoedown. Utilizing red bandana and blue burlap fabrics throughout the perimeter, we additionally enhanced the space with weathered authentic doors, rustic iron stars and well worn saddle blankets. Our floral department provided Western Wildflower arrangements for each guest table comprised of succulents, yarrow and blue thistle complemented by viking palms, explosion grass and mixed pom flowers.

Another Busy Weekend

Monday morning is here again and we have made it through another busy weekend! Design Works was thrilled to be a part of the Denver Zoo's Do At The Zoo celebrating their 20th anniversary. Pongo, the Zoo's youngest giraffe, was the center of attention and we were brought on board to fill Giraffe Meadow with custom lanterns and furniture lounges. Our decor was seen throughout the Denver Zoo and we were happy to partner with this wonderful organization again.

Clinton Kelly from TLC's What Not to Wear was in town on Saturday to film his Macy's Makeover America campaign. Choosing 15 local Colorado women who needed a major (or minor) transformation, these women were then invited to show off their new look by strutting down the fashion runway set up in the middle of Cherry Creek's Macy's store. Design Works created the runway and fashion flats for the show and brought a flawless finish to the event. Check out this special event and find out more information at www.macysmakeover.com!

On top of these two large events, Design Works juggled the Delta Eta Boule event at the DCPA's Seawall Ballroom, a small wedding at Bistro Vendome, the Bombay Sapphire event at the Ritz Carlton in Vail and two large corporate events in Colorado Springs. Our crew made it look easy this past weekend and we were very happy to be a part of all of these events.

Top of Denver's Blowout Surprise Area

Layers of damask, toille and black and white stripes created a room that offered a sophisticated setting for guests at our Best of Denver event on June 11th.

Working without limits and a predetermined design, this room presented an exciting challenge for our team. Circles ended up being the continuous theme in the room, from the two tiered round stage to the modern metal screens and the round glass and chrome side tables. Cloth Connection's black and white flocked taffeta linen seen in the foreground offered a gorgeous pattern that was repeated throughout the space.
It wasn't until we added our vertical black and white cabana stripe fabric to the perimeter drape walls that the space took on a more energized appearance. The finishing touch was a vellum Asian toille print featuring steadfast elephants, elegant pagodas and dainty parasols. This room was elegantly lit by Fastlane Productions and StarPro Entertainment provided entertainment throughout the evening.
