Griffin Poetry Prize Event

This Event took place on May 30, 2011 at the Distillery District. 
Griffin Poetry Prize (http://www.griffinpoetryprize.com/) is an annual Poet competition, which gives away the biggest amounts of money for their winners - $65000 each, I believe there are 2 winners every year. Wow, lucky poets!
The theme for the event was Middle Eastern with giant arcs, carpets and peacocks. We created a beautiful garden type of environment in the lounge areas of the venue, with the trees and pomegranates which was quite a challenge to put up, but at the end it turned out splendid! I wish I could stay for this event, but I was starting to slowly disappear from the starvation, so I had to go to Woo to get back into my shape, because the food at the Griffins was in the miniature portions, which smelled delicious, but is usually enough for the upscale class event, cause rich poets don't eat much at all. :)
 It was an great experience to help decorate that event, as these were the most basis of where a spectacular decor comes from.

Here are some shots of what was done

Centerpieces on each table varied
 Butterfly that ended up in my hair by the end of the set up
The great Persian poet (let me know f you recall the name)
 Peacocks
 Tables looked awesome , thanks to the nice lighting

Coming back with the Tiff&Co

Hey friends, It's been a very long time since I posted here, but isn't it better now, than later for me to be back? Many Grand events occurred in these few years, so I will start form the last event I attended and will go back and forth in time, on my upcoming posts! So Follow me everywhere to stay in the loop. Briefly about my latest adventures; I had my 1st Boy in March 2013 after which I decided to try myself in the automotive industry. Worked in a few dealerships and got some sales experience. Then decided that 1 hyperactive child is not enough for me and brought another one to this world in May 2016.  When they both became a bit older me and my lover finally had our wedding which I been dreaming of for about 4 years. (I will have a post about that as well).  So now I am all grown up with 2 kids and a husband and ready to concur the event industry again, which is why I had an amazing opportunity to start working at the newest and very developing space on the East End...

ART OF NIGHT @ CUBE

O dear Mannequins you will always stay in my mind forever and ever! Enormous amount of time and paint was spent on the mannequins to make the night at Atry as possible.  All of them came in white and boring, but the team made them black and elegant. They were like our wild sisters, we shopped for them, we masqueraded them and we dressed them to be in the centre of attention. When I think of all the good times we had with them, I want to go back in time and do this event all over again. Talking about the Artist whose work was displayed all over the Cube patio -   JESSICA GORLICKY , her work is really astonishing and I would probably buy all of her paintings if I had a few millions. Love the work that I do always and forever! Enjoy ~ Once again thank you Stella, Melissa, Anna and the team for making this happen!
