On March 31st, Event Design Group delighted 400 guests with their lavishly playful design at the opening of the Loews Atlanta Hotel in Midtown. A brief performance by Atlanta Gospel Choir "Voice of Atlanta" set a jubilant tone for this inaugural event. The design for the ribbon cutting ceremony and "uniquely local" luncheon featured an espresso and buff-colored palette infused with pops of fuchsia. Dark chocolate table linens with alternating Grey Stone and Organic Camden overlays were set with wood grain charger plates. Oversized Areca Palm Trees in tapered planter boxes anchored the stage and complemented the guest tables and ultra-modern chandeliers. Half-moon steps for stage access by VIP speakers and performers were custom made. The planter boxes and custom tiers were scenically treated with a Terra Cotta glaze and dry brush sweep to mimic the chandelier's unique textural traits.
Event Design Group chose this very special occasion to reveal its latest signature concept--Shredded Paper Topiaries (see photo). Created with thousands of sheets of recycled office paper these delightful architectural centerpieces are textural, geometric, fun, and of course environmentally-mindful. Though they each required 9 to 14 hours to construct, the result was certainly worth the effort. Managing Director Deb Steege commented, "These recycled topiaries perfectly underscore the hotel's ongoing commitment to eco-consciousness and sustainability."
