Factory Direct Party- FAN FAVORITE!

DIRECT- verb. di·rect·ed, di·rect·ing, di·rects To have or take charge of; control.
After working with the Sales Department at Factory Direct Party I can say in full confidence that they live up to their name as defined above. I am BEYOND impressed with the impeccable custom service with this company. A particular employee, in the Sales Department, went over and above his job description to guarantee delivery of the "honeycomb balls" I ordered in time for my New Years design (pictures soon to come).
Factory Direct Party has so many great party supplies which have been featured in Martha Stewart Wedding Magazine! Did I forget to mention that their prices are very reasonable. In fact I challenge you to find a more affordable party supplier (without compromising quality). Shop now and save 10% with entering this All Set discount code at the point of sale SBF10FDP

'Tis the Season- To Be Busy

You know it is problematic when the checker at Safeway asks you "what's that on your hands?!" Response "oh this... spray paint!" 'tis the season for crafting, creating, and customizing for clients.
This evening marks the completion of another holiday design from All Set. I had the opportunity to design two tablescapes and three additional pieces for a new client. The theme- winter wonderland (green, gold, & silver)...
MAIN DINING ROOM
KIDS' TABLE
POWDER ROOM
ADDITIONAL DESIGN
Looks like it is going to be a white Christmas! Hey- a little spray paint never hurt anyone. All worth it in the end!

A Successful Fairytale Continued

The client was very pleased with the pumpkin centerpieces and tree-like buffet piece. I believe that designs are only truly appreciated when seen in the context of the event space. Hence the photos...

I was lucky enough to deliver this order myself and have the opportunity to capture some photos. Again- this BEAUTIFUL event space is available to rent through the Walt Disney Family Museum.

Just Call Me Cinderella

I am well aware that the story of Cinderella involves pumpkins and midnight; however, at 4am this morning- I felt like Cinderella!

I was hired by the Walt Disney Family Museum to put together a few centerpieces and a buffet piece for an up coming luncheon. My design involved pumpkins doubling as vases.

So, this morning I found myself listening to Frank Sinatra while gutting pumpkins. When the clock stuck 5am, I hopped in my carriage (aka. my Jetta) and headed to the SF Flower Mart. As the saying goes "the early bird gets the worm". I searched and searched until I found exactly what I was looking for.
