The Vision: \u00a0Unless it is children&#8217;s party, we recommend not designing your event around a &#8220;THEME&#8221; but more of a concept as a jumping off point. \u00a0People sometimes get to literal with the decor and whether it is intended or not, it turns out looking very &#8220;matchy-matchy&#8221; (a very technical design term folks!)<\/p>\n<p>2. Fresh to impress: \u00a0Always infuse natural elements into the decor, from jute, wheat grass to fresh florals that elevate your color palette, creating an environment with those authentic, natural details is an easy way to impress your guests! \u00a0Don&#8217;t settle for faux!<\/p>\n<p>3. Consistency is Key: \u00a0Select a few design elements and replicate them in different applications throughout the event, from the menu design, decor and color palette to your table scapes\/centerpieces, its all in the details, but remember, too much of a good thing, is no longer a good thing! \u00a0So choose wisely!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few images of our favorite events we have done, enjoy! \u00a0Contact us today! \u00a0We would love to help you with your next event!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-447 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"gallery-447\" href='https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1-Cover-St-Louis-Magazines-Food-Wine-and-Design-Event-2011-Second-Place-Tabletop-Design-Designed-by-Cure-Design-Group-Team.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1-Cover-St-Louis-Magazines-Food-Wine-and-Design-Event-2011-Second-Place-Tabletop-Design-Designed-by-Cure-Design-Group-Team-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1-Cover-St-Louis-Magazines-Food-Wine-and-Design-Event-2011-Second-Place-Tabletop-Design-Designed-by-Cure-Design-Group-Team-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1-Cover-St-Louis-Magazines-Food-Wine-and-Design-Event-2011-Second-Place-Tabletop-Design-Designed-by-Cure-Design-Group-Team-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1-Cover-St-Louis-Magazines-Food-Wine-and-Design-Event-2011-Second-Place-Tabletop-Design-Designed-by-Cure-Design-Group-Team-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"gallery-447\" href='https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-275x275.jpg 275w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/saramike-10582-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"gallery-447\" href='https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-275x275.jpg 275w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/SaraMike-1215-2-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When fashioning an event designed to impress, our clients have looked to us over the years to create a memorable atmosphere. \u00a0One that sets the stage from when your guests arrive, to the menu, fashion and decor, a cohesive environment that will keep them talking!
