Dia de los Muertos Mitzvah

Dia de los Muertos Mitzvah

What happens when your Bar Mitzvah falls on Halloween? A Dia de los Muertos themed Bar Mitzvah party of course!

Flair Event Design had "mucho" fun designing and planning this Fiesta! While Mom wanted the theme to focus on "Dia de los Muertos" the Bar Mitzvah boy wanted to make sure it was just creepy enough and oh yeah, he wanted a carnival as well. The gals at Flair Event Design, ever up for a challenge made it happen for this super fun family.

As guests entered, they were greeted by a spooky gatekeeper and then made their way through a haunted graveyard.

Next stop, they met a ghoulish witch with a smoking cauldron where they were handed a key. The winning key would open a coffin inside revealing "spooktacular" prizes.

To tie in the Day of The Dead theme, we decked out the venue with lots of colors, stringing papel picado flags and bright paper lanterns throughout. Adult tables were dressed with serape runners, adorned with vibrant marigold centerpieces and sugar skulls. Kids tables featured "diy" paper flowers held by tomato cans and accented with more sugar skulls. During cocktail hour a Mariachi band entertained guests.

As guests entered the main room the first stop was to leave a message for the Bar Mitzvah boy by signing in at the life-sized papeir Mache skeleton, made by famed Mexican artist Augustine Galicia renowned for his Day of the Dead art.

From there they could choose their fun. Where to go first? Have some fun at the Dia de los Muertos themed carnival and play a game of tombstone tipping?

Visit with the face painter and be painted Dia de Los Muertos style? Hit the dance floor or strike a pose in the photo booth? Thirsty from all the partying? Grab yourself a smoking "volcano" drink!

A custom decorated birthday cake capped off the evening for the guest of honor.

As a parting gift, each guest received a sugar skull pop and customs designed mugs, with filled colorful M&M's. Loving stuffed and wrapped by the Mitzvah family

I Left My Heart in San Francisco Bat Mitzvah

Fleet week! Love it or hate it's here once again. For Flair, it's another reason to love our city!

Flair was so lucky to help celebrate Ari's Bat Mitzvah by honoring this AMAZING city where she was born and raised!

As guests entered they picked up their keepsake Golden Gate Bridge key chains! Ari got to take home this lovely bridge with her name as a keepsake too!

Guests signed a vintage San Francisco postcard and "popped" it the mail to send well wishes to the Bat Mitzvah girl on her special day!

In honor of the Golden Gate Bridge we used red flowers and over sized red balloons to accent the party.

Tables were all named after Ari's favorite places to hang out around the city and featured her in photos on each table.

We love our City!

There's No Place Like CAMP!

As Memorial Day fast approaches and the school year comes to an end our thoughts turn to CAMP, and the AMAZING event we did with our friends at URJ Camp Newman.

For their first ever "Gala" they wanted to bring the outdoors in. The result was a spectacular evening to remember.

Tables were set banquet style reminiscent of cafeteria style eating; just like the dining hall at camp.

Market lights, and gobos help further set the mood.

Tables were decorated with arrangements using a branch adorned with sunflowers, moss, berries and persimmons. Burlap runners, blue and white check napkins and mason jar glasses further accented the mood.

If you couldn't find the "guest of honor" to snap a quick pic at the photo booth....why not pose with his life-sized cardboard cut out "twin".

Guests were asked to sign a tribute book for the "guest of honor", a keepsake photo album complete with photos and notes from campers.

S'more thanks!

All guests left with their very own s'more kit and a special note from campers telling them why there's no place like camp.

AND THE OSCAR GOES TOO...

Why not take a walk down your own red carpet with an Oscar's themed Bar Mitzvah...

Can you find your name on Julian's walk of fame?

Stop by the "photo booth" for a VIP shot.

Guests were encouraged to sign the movie poster welcome sign in "starring" our Bar Mitzvah Boy!

Admit two please... Movie tickets doubled for place cards

Movie director clap board signs were used as table cards...

At this Oscar party everyone's a winner...delicious chocolate gold dusted Oscar favors for all!

Happy (Lunar) New Year!

We were so blessed to be able to help plan this very special Bat Mitzvah for one of my BFF's beautiful daughter!

And, we had the PERFECT place in mind to celebrate this fabulous family and their Chinese roots! Mom let us have the reins and we had a fun time getting super thematic!

Lucky bamboo accented each table.

Mom searched high and low and found a beautiful orange tree in bloom, symbolizing abundant happiness. The "wishing" tree doubled as a "sign in", where friends and family could share a special message to the Bat Mitzvah girl.
