Clean Green and White For a Romantic Night: Adrienne + Adam

Don't let this simple color palette fool you- this wedding we were thrilled to design and produce was over the top amazing thanks to our vibrant clients, Adrienne and Adam! On a picturesque fall day this couple said their "I Do's" at the stunning Kimpton Sawyer hotel in downtown Sacramento.  The ceremony was set in front of breathtaking scenery with a gorgeous modern arch to frame the action.  Guests were treated to a ballroom draped in beautiful layers of ecru and a refreshingly clean palette of white with loads of lush greenery.  Candlelight added to the modern, clean ambience while guests and our clients dined and danced the night away.  As always, we could not have done with without all of our amazing #friendors.  And we are elated for Adrienne and Adam and wish them happiness always!

Fall Event Design Inspiration

It's no secret here at Danielle Roe Events that we adore a great modern design for event aesthetics.  It is also no secret that we have a major crush on our rockstar "friendors
 (aka vendors) without whose help we would not be able to produce the fabulous events that we do.  So when one of our favorite friendors, Standard Party Rentals, reaches out with an offer to stage their Sacramento Showroom, of course we jump right up with dreamy design inspiration and stage away.  We opted for current trends with fall-inspired design touches, and staged a welcoming cocktail table with a nature-inspired gold print and a sample escort card display.  You may have seen a sneak peek of this photo shoot on Instagram, or on the takeover we got to do for the Standard Party Rentals Instagram account! Read on to see all of this DRE staged showroom beauty- we cannot get enough of these gorgeous photos, and cannot wait to stage this beautiful showroom again!

This table design would be ideal for a late summer or fall event.  Textured linens mixed with gold flatware, elegant dinnerware and plenty of candlelight read romantic evening in a modern way.  Plus, adding a splash of bold color with the menu card is a simple and cost effective way to make a colorful, seasonally appropriate statement on your guest tables. And please let us know what you think of this napkin fold- we thought it was just so pretty with this modern elegance look!

We are very fond of these new Portofino chairs from Standard Party Rentals- they are so versatile for many occasions and complimented this elegant tablescape with the perfect modern touch of warm wooden tones.

For a second look in this showroom, we dressed a farm table in a textured leather runner and topped it with a design that would work well for anything from a modern wedding to a celebratory family dinner.  We just love the juxtaposition of the elegant glassware with the rustic flatware and candle holders.  To complete the look we kept the floral neutral and added striking black chairs.

We seriously could not get enough of these completely trend-setting acrylic place cards by the one and only Swoonable!

Our third table design featured an updated look for the blush and gold look.  A rich velvet linen in gray anchored a whimsically draped rose-colored table runner, and candle sticks in a modern concrete with a touch of gold added the perfect amount of metallic to coordinate with the gold flatware.  We loved pairing the patterned napkin with the smoky colored chargers, and the addition of an elegant menu card with marbled detailing finished the look.

Again, an amazing acrylic place card by Swoonable- what a great takeaway these will be for your guests!

To add a touch of masculinity to the space we enjoyed staging this modern cigar bar lounge.  Don't miss the masculine quotes from some famous love stories! Can't you just picture this as the perfect lounge space to take in a sunset from a rooftop deck?

There was one lone table sitting unused in the back of this showroom so of course we styled it on the whim- a voilá, a perfect place for a date night appeared!

Contemporary Wedding Design at Sacramento's Kimpton Sawyer Hotel- As Seen on Green Wedding Shoes!

With its opening coinciding with the heart of engagement season, the brand new Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in downtown Sacramento is a true breath of fresh modern air for Northern California and destination couples. Featuring sleek finishes mixed with wood and other natural elements, the space was the perfect fit for this contemporary, airy and heavily texture driven styled shoot. Designed and produced by Danielle Roe Events and Parker Nichols Events the day was captured by world renowned adventure photographer, Charleton Churchill. Delicate versions of masculine pieces such as leather accents in the paper suite created by Love Notes Paper, matte black flatware from Theoni Collection and washed stone dishware from Standard Party Rentals, effortlessly paired with the soft textures of velvet linens by La Tavola Fine Linens and the soft glow of candlesticks throughout the space. Set-off by a stunning hanging floral installation, Shannon Mahoney, from Thistle and Honey Floral Design, incorporated organic, foraged textures with delicate blooms to reinforce the juxtaposition between natural textures and clean, modern florals. The immensely talented Amanda Ngo, of Paper Heart Patisserie, brought modern dessert design to a new level with a three dimensional geometric neutral palate cake that, displayed against a natural cork wall, was a standalone piece of art.

PS- We are crazy thrilled to announce that this sleek contemporary wedding shoot is featured on Green Wedding Shoes today!!

Modern Details for Modern Love

It is really a dream come true for our Danielle Roe Events team to work with awesome vendors for any event, including a stunning photo shoot at an incredible hotel in downtown Sacramento.  Remember when we shared this behind-the-scenes video from our Modern Love editorial feature with Real Weddings Magazine at the enviable Kimpton Sawyer Hotel? (And truth be told, we really do love to embrace this modern trend that is appearing everywhere!) Each of our #friendors vendors from this day truly pushed the envelope in terms of providing fresh and completely modern details and decor to match the modern ambiance of the Kimpton Sawyer.  As we designed, styled and coordinated this shoot we established a color palette or whites, black, and marble with touches of gold.  Accents such as geometric vases and gold candlesticks paired beautifully with touches of marble throughout the design.  Our model absolutely rocked it with every dress and jewelry combination and truly represented as a strong, confident modern woman.  You can view the whole feature from the Winter/Spring 2018 Real Weddings Magazine issue here.  And be sure to keep an eye out for the geode decor included in this shoot and the marble frosted cakes!

Midtown Sacramento Event: The Sofia Tsakopoulos Center for the Arts, New Home of B Street Theater

Showcasing twelve amazing theater shows for B Street Theater and coordinating a grand opening event at the beautiful new Sofia Tsakopoulos Center for the Arts in midtown Sacramento had our Danielle Roe Events team thinking #NBD.  In real life though, our team was working in dream-team mode for this awesome client and the opening gala for their new state-of-the-art facility known simply as The Sofia.  Staged, literally, in the heart of Midtown Sacramento, this beautiful new theater houses two main stages full of all the most modern amenities and newest technologies,  as well as a welcoming spacious lobby and adjoining courtyard, with ample additional rooms for the theater company to conduct rehearsals and arrange office space.  To highlight each of the 12 stage shows scheduled by B Street, our team worked with a few amazing #friendors to coordinate decor, floral, food, and entertainment.  Luxury linens draped tables in shades of aqua throughout each of the rooms, brought a sense of cohesion and flow to The Sofia space, and allowed for thematic decor and food stations to be highlighted in various rooms throughout the gala event.  A band rocking out to air guitar, a pirate chest full of bounty, a mini putting green, live acoustic guitar, jell-stuffed doughnut holes, and tag art were just a few highlights from the evening.  Take a look at the pictures to see how each of the twelve B Street Theater stage performances for this year were highlighted during The Sofia's grand opening gala.
