We are so excited about the first time an Eclatante event gets published in an international magazine.   And in Ireland, no less – a country rich in beauty with the most wonderful people I’ve ever met.

B Weddings Magazine, which is published in Dublin, Ireland caught wind of this gorgeous event we designed and planned at the Independent Seaport Museum which took place last April.  The client wanted to take their guests to the most beautiful cities of the world, so we set about to create a look, taste and feel of an around the world adventure for each of their amazed and delighted guests.

The team at Beautiful Blooms did an incredible job with the florals – Donna has traveled and lived in different parts of the world so she brought first-hand, true floral representation to the different table floral pieces.  You can see from the magazine’s pictorials that we executed a plan where the tables came from all over the world.   Even the table numbers reflected the style of the specific city we were representing on any particular table.   We did the same thing with the food, the entertainment and many of the amenities throughout the entire event.

We even had old European-style street performer that thrilled the guests to no end as they walked into the doors.   People are still talking about this extraordinary celebration – one of my favorites of all time!

Of course, for the international world to take notice of this incredible party, we had to have a great photographer, so we brought the fabulous Marie Labbancz along to capture every amazing moment.

Although we absolutely love them, Eclatante’s mission is not just about the major life events like weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs.   We grab every chance we can get to help people have wonderful, memorable and stressfree celebrations, small and large –from dinner parties to birthday parties to neighborhood supper clubs.   So, here’s our first Celebrating in Style Event at Two Paper Dolls Studio in Wayne, PA.   You should come!

Rachel began dreaming of her bat mitzvah the day after her sister Sarah’s bat mitzvah a couple of years ago.   She wanted the celebration of her achievement to be the party of a lifetime, and, as you can see — it really was! We took the honor of creating exactly what Rachel and her mom, Karel, wanted very seriously over our year and some months of planning together. Every detail was attended to at the end of it all, the guests were completely delighted at every turn as their tour of the world’s most glamorous cities was revealed a little at a time. Knowing that this party was going to have a lot of moving parts that needed only the best on board to make it happen, we brought in Beautiful Blooms to create the amazing florals and asked Marie Labbancz to photograph this incredible event so that the family would always vividly remember each and every detail.    

The beginning of the planning process began with a search for the perfect venue. Finally, the family  settled on the Independence Seaport Museum. Once that decision was made, our designing and planning went into high-gear.  So much went in to this very important day in Rachel’s young life. None the least of which was the three years of studying and sacrifice on Rachel’s part!  She did an amazing job and her parents, friends and family were so proud of her!

The Independence Seaport Museum was the perfect location for our ’round-the-world tour. While the guests were treated to this amazing port-view all night long, they were impeccably served delicious food from around the globe by Frog Commissary.

The guests were greeted by fun and interesting street performers — from sidewalk artists to juggling unicyclists (all provided by the geniuses at the Creative Juice Group).

The country-by-country tour began in the cocktail hour (take note of the amazing boarding passes created by Creative Montage) and continued into the reception through the entire evening. Each and every table was designed individually according to the specific country it represented. The Beautiful Blooms design team did an absolutely incredible job of creating some of the most innovative centerpieces we have ever seen. Just take a look at these amazing photos!

The guys from Vu-Events did a super job creating just the right lighting atmosphere!

So, after the guests were totally wowed by the street performers and the decor, the party continued into the night!

Party enhancements like this great Time Magazine cover photo were provided by Craig Neier Associates.

At the end of the evening, the guests were treated to a yummy candy bar (again, created by Beautiful Blooms) and the kids were handed extremely cool customized hooded sweatshirts.

Good night Rachel!   This was your night to shine and man — you really did!
