Open House at The Palms Recap

If you weren't able to attend the open house on May 10th, at The Palms Pavilion in Chico, we don't mind showing you the highlights of the event!  If you attended, but just want to see some of the beautiful table settings and decor again, we don't blame you.

The open house at The Palms Pavilion featured:

To better describe the inspirations behind each of the featured table settings, we will let Nyala & Rabina Khan with WeDo Designs take you through each concept one by one!

"Every year we try to renew our contract with the design world. Competing in various way to capture the attention of brides and event hosts. We want to be identified as a design team not just a rental facility. The biggest factor in any design is color, so we took that element and made it the forefront of our presentations at the May 10th Open House at The Palms Pavilion.

Every year Pantone, a company known as the color authority releases 10 colors for each season as colors of the season/year. The colors are chosen from a plethora of picked brains from the fashion and design world. To follow those color trends we infused them into our table designs. One color however reaches to the honor of "Color of The Year". This year, that color is called "Honeysuckle," which is an elegant pink. To use this color we had to place a custom order for a fabric that matched the Pantone color formula for Honeysuckle.  As you can see on our first table.

The honeysuckle table has a glitter platform pump flower garden theme centerpiece, accented by gold chains and leaf pendents medallions. This next table is using the color "Phlox," a deep royal purple from the fall lineup that carries a richness and glamor.  We used this color as an accent, as it shares glimpses in the ribbon work on the runner and chair cover. The table design is center-pieced with a wine inspired look designed by Cambry Rose Florist. The color showcased here, is "Coral Rose" which was pulled from the spring collection. It's an orangy color with a hint of warmth, and we layered it with a monochromatic organza ribbon detailed overlay. The centerpiece is as fun as the spring color.

"Nougat" from the fall collection is my favorite of them all, and we had the luxury of being able to showcase this color with the ultra luxe satin ribbon wave overlay. This table was kept monochromatic from top to bottom. This table boasts a flowerless centerpiece using feather, fabric, and crystal elements. Showing you that you don't have to have flowers to have effect.

This next table was outside of the color pallet, but is in tune with a special moment of history; The Royal Wedding. We used a soft butter cream luxe lamour table cloth and a exquisite beaded and crystal-ed lace overlay. Nothing short of royal, this table setting was donned with a gorgeous centerpiece designed with a royal crowd in mind by Cambry Rose. This table setting is a true platinum bride vision.

Lets not forget about the great food, drinks & entertainment!
