ISES Wedding Showcase

T'DAs romantic vintage tabletop design entitled "Love Me Do" received the Best Use of Theme award at the 2012 ISES wedding showcase “Fashion meets Fantasy”, held at The Studios at Overland Crossing in Denver. A handmade wedding dress belonging to owner Wendy Foster's mother, her parents' love story, and a number one Beatles song - all celebrating their 50th anniversaries - inspired the fantasy design.

The ivory dress in jacquard rose satin, pillbox cap and veil and wedding pictures reproduced in large format frame the scene that combines layers of texture, florals, delicate fabrics, in a palette of sepia hues, mixed metals and soft neutrals to create perfect harmonies.

Vintage amber, milk, and blush glass accent the table setting. A cap of vendela rose petals, and birdcage lace surround the table’s edge. The centerpiece is structured to look like a 60’s style lamp, the “shade” was full floral including roses, football mums, and hydrangea, accented with vintage broaches. Gifts of spray roses in amber glass were embellished with feathers and pearls - a nod to the whimsy of the original wedding bouquet. The placecards were photographs from the wedding album that got the modern touch and made to look like Polaroids (refrencing the camera’s sensational popularity in 1962), each bearing the name of a Beatles girlfriend. The chairs were “dressed.” Metallic chiffon sashes were crocheted across the back and tied with a broach - with a belt of button mums on ivory lace, and finished with sweeping trains of fresh rose petals.

"Love Me Do" pays homage to an enduring marriage in the most creative way possible - why we love what we do!

Whiskey on Ice... Women on Fire

Laugh Out Loud

T’DA Design’s production manager created an adorable fun house façade with rotating pin wheels, a joke booth and custom signage for a fundraising event benefiting a mental health services group, hosted at the Comedy Works South in Englewood. Colorful carnival wagons were utilized as inviting buffets. Pink, orange, green flags and carnival lighting finished this playful setting.

Tami Forero of Forte Events in Colorado Springs coordinated this whimsical event.

Fantasy Ice Palace

On a white spandex covered banquet table with up lights glowing from beneath, escort cards provided by the family were displayed atop sprinkled snow.

White and shimmering drape created a snowy night scene as a backdrop for the stage enhanced with lighted white birch trees. Large snowflakes were suspended overhead while icicle inspired fabric panels hung throughout the room.

Sparkling silver curly willow bursting from a collar of white roses set in icy crystal gels, illuminated with a blue light were displayed in clear vessels atop crisp blue satin linens. Chairs were covered in white spandex accented with a beautiful silver band. Glittery numbered snowflakes identified each tabel.

An icicle lighted sign; “Glacier Lounge” defined the kid’s lounge at Julia’s Bat Mitzvah. This area featured two sofa vignettes that included couches; low tables, ottomans, a rug and floor based lighted cubes. Snowflakes and lighted white birch trees trimmed with snow decorated the space.

2009 ICON Gala Awards Finalist

We are excited to announce that T’DA Design & Productions is a 2009 ICON Gala Awards finalist for Best Decoration Design for M.A.S.H Bash, published in Confetti Magazine (Confetti Magazine is an annual supplement of Colorado Expression Magazine that comes out this time each year).

Set against the backdrop of the existing exhibits, funny and kitschy vignettes filled the space at Wings Over the Rockies. Included were the officers’ club as the VIP area, mess tents, hospital wards which served as buffets, and Rosie’s Bar. Facades of the offers’ quarters, complete with laundry hung out to dry, backed the stage. Lawn chairs were scattered about and flamingos popped up in unexpected places. Centerpieces occupied beakers, helmets, and tin cups as opposed to traditional glassware.

Photography of our Moroccan Nights event also appeared in this issue.

A Moroccan-inspired celebration featured a custom-designed dais on a rug-covered stage, where the bride and groom rested upon a silk covered bench. Rich jewel tones and textures from drapery to the linens enhanced the atmosphere. To further evoke a flavor of Morocco, we incorporated palms, lanterns, Moroccan-styled rugs, exquisite silk pillows and exotic florals.
