Sparkle Beach!

I

A Sparkling Beach Bat Mitzvah
4.10.2010
Kol Ami Congregation   Elkins Park, PA
 
This sunset soiree at Congregation Kol Ami (Elkins Park) beamed with glamour – reflecting the guest of honor’s vibrant personality and blissful mood for the evening.  Designed and staged by La Petite Fleur, Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah was reminiscent of those warm beach days when sunlight glistens on the water.  
 
An original “R” logo branded every detail of the event—having been debuted on the custom-designed invitations, which even featured an “R” postal stamp.  The beauty of the beach abounded as an oversized cymbidium orchid sphere beckoned guests to grab their hand-tied sand dollar place cards which guided them to their tables.
 
Guests celebrated among cocktail tables which featured bowls of cymbidium orchids floating atop a collection of shells and sparkling wire. The room was dressed in bright mango, lime and raspberry hues. Brilliant pinspotting perfectly illuminated all of the details in the ballroom.

The adult tables featured tall cylinders filled with curly willow branches that were draped with crystals and raspberry votives.  Other tables boasted slim containers of crystallized raspberry water, hydrangea and arching dendrobium orchids. The centerpieces sat atop lavish dot linens that were as whimsical as they were elegant.

Meanwhile, Rachel and her friends gathered around sheer sparkle-clothed tables that were finished with polka dot wrapped cylinders of green hydrangea (with Rachel’s logo, of course) and then accented by pretty jars filled with candy in coordinating sherbet shades.  
 
Finishing touches that had Rachel and her family tickled pink were the gift card “gift box” and the custom-made drink umbrellas for the color-palette-inspired drinks, which included Cosmos and Shirley Temples.
