I usually use this blog for sewing thoughts and pictures, but this entry is about other details - Décor. Keep in mind sometimes it is hard to capture the look on film.
The party took place in the Music Hall's main hall. A platform was installed over 15 rows of seating. The guests had cocktails and dinner before the curtain was lifted for the show.
For decorating a plat-formed theater on a tiny budget and the want for a look no one else had, we went about to create it ourselves. It took 42 wood blocks & dowel rods, an electric drill, a couple of cans of spray paint, 480' of tan roping, about 8 books of scrapbooking paper, a multitude of glue sticks
and two girls on a mission.

| Organizing the flags |
We made two sizes of the flags - below you can see the larger flags hanging from the mezzanine rail in the background and in the foreground one of my designs for the tables.
Below are the smaller flags on the other table design.
The Mylar balloons held the guest's table numbers and were removed for the show.
For the on-stage show sponsor signs, I bought butterfly nets at ACO hardware, removed the nets and replaced them with form core backed signs, which I had made at Kinko's. The reverse side held the sponsors logos and our darling volunteers tuned them as they walked the stage.
