Washington DC Team Spirit- Capitals & Nationals…

With the Washington Capitals in the Stanley Cup Play-offs and the National’s season just getting started D.C. is proudly painted in red, white and blue these days.  We put together this inspiration board for a prospective client wanting  a candy buffet to celebrate DC’s home teams for an upcoming charity event.  Since the fundraiser is supported by team players from  the Nationals and Capitals we thought red, white and blue would be the perfect combination for a candy and dessert bar.   Love the little flag rice krispies and the smart candy treat bags!

Fundraiser Fun at Fashion for Paws!

Of course we love any reason to get dressed up, but the Fashion for Paws Benefit at the National Museum Building is especially close to our hearts!   The charity has been raising money for homeless and rescued animals since 2007 and has raised $1.5 million dollars thus far.  This years event alone raised over $700,000, exceeding their goal while also throwing a fabulous party.  Following inspiration from the Victoria Secret Runway show, the Syzygy Events Group created a setting that evoked a Miami sunset feeling with bright colors and florals.  Puppy shaped topiary trees dressed the tabletops and splashes of colored lighting spilled down the runway as the models and their canine companions walked the runway. We had so much fun and are definitely looking forward to working with Fashion for Paws in the future!
