Sexy Soiree - Four Seasons Baltimore

This past weekend I had the pleasure of styling a holiday party (for one of my very favorite clients) 

at the beautiful, new Four Seasons Baltimore.  They requested an "intimate, sexy, holiday vibe" and it was so much fun pulling this event together.  Here's what our client had to say about the experience:

"In one word--'perfection' Stephanie Bradshaw.  A fantastic time was had by all!  You are definitely an artist!  With my request of a holiday party that would be warm, sexy, upscale and festive, you surpassed my every expectation.  Every detail was amazing, well thought and worked beautifully together.  You coordinated the evening flawlessly and the event went off without a hitch--for the second year in a row!  Well done to you and your team!  Love ya girlie! ~ Wendy"

Take a peek at the behind the scenes.  It was indeed a transformation...

We started prepping the ballroom in the AM with furniture and floral deliveries all before noon.

My creative team ready to get started on our ceiling treatment.

There are a total of eight gorgeous chandeliers in the hotel's "Cobalt Ballroom" that we dressed with traditional holiday wreaths that had the entire room smelling like the season.  

Hmmm, I love the smell of fresh pine and seeded eucalyptus. 

After the wreaths were hung (all "eight of eight") our second shipment of florals arrived.  

We used a mix of festive linen to help bring the room to life.  

Bar, furniture and lighting, check.

Signature drinks are prepped and ready to go...

Welcome to the Four Seasons Baltimore...and MANY THANKS to their entire team! 

Thanks also to our vendor partners at AFR Furniture Rental, Entertainment Exchange 

and New Legacy, Fleur de Lis Florist, Swank Audio Visuals, and Table Toppers.  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore - Opening in 8 Days!

                                                                                                                                                                         Statement lobby lighting

Yesterday I had a client walk through for an upcoming holiday party at the Four Seasons Hotel.  Not only were we blown away by the view, but the hotel's lighting and artwork were beyond spectacular.  All of the interior finishings were layered with texture--a mix of modern and natural elements--perfectly blended together for a completely chic experience.  

                                                                                                                                          Artwork installation on the ballroom level

                                                                     Industrial cafe lighting and a great view of the harbor

The hotel was bustling with activity and that is to put it mildly. Opening in just eight short days, there were a mix of hotel staffers, trainers, contractors, decorators, and vendors, all busy putting the finishing touches on this very chic space.  

You must peek at the interior and its gorgeous finishings for yourself. We also heard that the restaurant, Wit & Wisdom - a tavern by Michael Mina, is sure to be delish.  I can't help but think this might be the perfect place for an "art meets fashion" photo shoot.  My wheels are already turning...
