The Covid pandemic has left many who are planning birthdays and other events, with the creative challenge to scale down party size and plan for safe social distancing. The team at Ashley Pigott Events and our design team at Rachel A. Clingen whipped up the prettiest birthday party, while ensuring guest safety. We are designing more out door parties than ever and making the best of Toronto’s summer months. Catering such an event takes on new challenges as well however the amazing team at Elle Cuisine brings their creative strength to catering parties. I love the unique floral palette for this lovely little set up. Summer wild flowers and bright colours make for a cheery and festive event.

Although the Covid-19 Pandemic brought a halt to large scale events, the summer of 2020 was a hi-lite for small intimate parties and events. Event party planner, Michelle from Sincerely Yours Events and the design team here at Rachel A. Clingen, created the prettiest Sweet Sixteen birthday party. The luxurious picnic party included a creative and yummy menu perfect for kids which included peach cobbler funnel cakes and gourmet fry plates. The most stunning pink ribbon cake was perfect for the birthday girl. Summer wild flowers and playful balloons were used to create feminine and fun decor.

Mango Studios is no stranger to us or the Toronto event industry. The luxury Toronto photography firms’, founder, Mo and his beautiful wife celebrate a 40th birthday! David and I have worked with the team at Mango for over 20 years and so it was such a pleasure to design a special dinner party evening for the stylish couple. The small urban backyard party had all the right vibes for a guys 4oth! In just a few days, we came up with a concept, which included our team custom building a stunning wood pergola to canopy over the dining area. The structure was designed to fit perfectly between their beautiful modern home and the pool and supported beautiful hanging chandeliers and lanterns. Moroccan inspired, we created a chic and sophisticated yet relaxed table-scape with rich tones of burgundy, gold and black. Modern place settings included a pop of colour. The evening was casual and intimate with the guests enjoying dinner seated on oversized pillows at a low dining table. Beautiful candle lit lanterns accented the pool and inviting fire pit were guests gathered after dinner. Happy Birthday Mo! Thank you for trusting us with such a special occasion.
