Designer Spotlight: Prive Floral

Feb 17 2012 Published by admin under Designer Spotlight, Uniquely Marquee

We’ve welcomed back the amazing Tina Dusterhoft of Prive Floral as Guest Designer of our Inspiration Area. Tina visited us before and set the bar very high with her last design. This time Tina’s inspiration came from Iridescent Fabric.

Tina’s base was Bronze Jade and Aqua Taffeta accented with sharp contrast of orange and nectarine shades of floral and varying shades of gold in mercury glasses, gold boxes, Gold Vanessa China and Gold Chiavari Chairs. It’s a traditional look with modern flair and a bit of whimsy.

It’s a gorgeous look and has been getting rave reviews from our guests during our LINEN EVENT.
Thank you Tina and please visit us again!

Designer Spotlight: Alfred’s Catering

Jan 19 2012 Published by admin under Designer Spotlight, Uniquely Marquee

This month’s Designer Spotlight features Alfred’s Catering, a great partner and friend of Marquee. The theme is simple and timely – Valentine’s Day. For inspiration, Alfred dug deeper than flowers and chocolate and drew upon some beautiful thoughts about this special day dedicated to the celebration of love.

Says Alfred,
“I love Valentine’s Week, people seem to be in great spirits. With Marquee’s HUGE selection of linens to choose from, its easy to start a great table and add flowers, candles, flower petals and you are done. And do not forget your favorite chocolates for yourself. Even if you do not have a sweetheart, you have friends who care about you and friends for life, so go out and smile at the world, and the world will smile back at you.”

A beautiful sentiment and a lovely design. Alfred, you are welcome back anytime!

Designer Spotlight: Austin Social Butterfly, Sweet Sensations Candy Buffets and Bride’s Table

Dec 13 2011 Published by admin under Designer Spotlight, Uniquely Marquee

Silver Bells, Silver Bells, it’s Christmas time at Marquee…

We are thrilled to feature a duo of talented designers this month at Marquee. For those of us lucky enough to enjoy the Inspiration area at Marquee every day we immediately got in the Holiday Spirit with this fresh, modern, whimsical design complete with a fireplace! It’s a true winter wonderland, and a yummy winter wonderland. If you haven’t been to Marquee this month what are you waiting for? Come enjoy the space and get introduced to Certified Wedding Planner, Kim Kindig of Austin Social Butterfly and Sweet Sensations Candy Buffets and Chef Casey Rogers of Bride’s Table custom cake shop.

Using Wedgewood Blue Taffeta as a base color and white chiavari chairs with a table setting of Vanessa Platinum Rim china, the mock dining table is beautiful with wintry custom accents and it’s showcased perfectly with the addition of the Crystal Barrel chandelier from Marquee Tents. The custom designed candy buffet starts with Silver Satin and the candy is accented in Sweet Sensations custom candy jars and candy all in white. Custom Candy Buffets include consultation, design, design, set-up, tear down, glassware, scoops, favor bags and delicious candy! What a great asset and addition to your next event!

Kim and Casey brought in a fireplace to showcase the sweetheart table which is layered in white tuille with a White Wellington Damask overlay. We literally feel like there is snow outside our window when we sit at the Sweetheart table.

The cake table is draped in Wedgewood Blue taffeta and the Bride’s Table has a beautiful custom mock wedding cake that brings the space together.

If you’re looking for inspiration and you want to get away from the standard red, green or gold for your holiday décor check out the photos in this blog post or better yet, come and see it in person at Marquee.

A huge thank you to Austin Social Butterfly, Sweet Sensations Candy Buffets and Bride’s Table for showcasing their talents at Marquee.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Designer Spotlight: Elite Events & Floral Renaissance

Nov 21 2011 Published by admin under Designer Spotlight, Uniquely Marquee

Marquee is thrilled to welcome Elite Events and Floral Renaissance as our Designer Spotlight. Floral and event designer Michael Akila and Event Specialist Kathie Millen transformed our Inspiration Area into a vibrant reflection of holiday flair. Featuring our fruitwood stained custom vineyard tables with a coordinating chivari chair and accenting with deep rich colors of eggplant, gold and bronze, the table scape is absolutely jaw dropping. We asked for over the top and this team delivered. The gold velvet high back banquettes and the gold saturn chargers are beautiful accents to the rustic elegance theme that this amazing team team created. It is worth a trip to our showroom to see for yourself and get inspired.

Kathie Millen and Michael Akila are a creative team that does not disappoint. Thank you for putting our Marquee team into the holiday spirit!

Designer Spotlight: The Simplifiers

Oct 10 2011 Published by admin under Designer Spotlight, Uniquely Marquee

We’re thrilled to have Mary Baird-Wilcock of The Simplifiers as guest designer for our Inspiration Area. Mary put her skills as event planner (and undercover superhero) to work alongside The Inviting Pear to transform our space into a wedding befitting a Superhero!

“When The Simplifiers were asked to design the showroom for Marquee, we knew we wanted to do something super different, super special and SUPER FUN! What better way to achieve all three, then do a superhero themed wedding!!?!

Our clients are always looking for something out of the norm and non-traditional. So, why not have a superhero themed wedding, that tickles your inner child’s fancy and gives you a good reason to wear a red cape on your big day? After all planning a wedding takes someone with superhero talents to juggle all the details. (ahem, The Simplifiers to the rescue!)

We love the fact that we can walk into Marquee’s 70,000+ square foot warehouse and find design elements to create this very unexpected palette of pop colors of cherry reds, aqua blue and black/white to make a stylish, hip, modern and fun wedding without going overboard. From the S-shaped serpentine dining tables to the customizable glow furniture for the bar to the ultra sleek lounge furniture, we rely on Marquee for their amazing selection of rental items to pull the complete look together.

I say, “rules are made to be broken when it comes to wedding planning.”

Go for something different, quirky, fun and most importantly, TRUE TO YOU AND YOUR FIANCE! Hire The Simplifiers as your wedding planners, and we’ll be your undercover superheroes that bring your ideas to life!

Both Dani and I left thinking, “man, I really want a superhero wedding, now!!”

Thank you Mary and The Simplifiers!

Designer Spotlight: CLINK

Sep 12 2011 Published by admin under Designer Spotlight, Uniquely Marquee

This month, we welcome Gina Whittington as guest designer for our Inspiration Area. As Creative Director at CLINK, Gina is always looking for the next trend in fabric, color, glassware, chargers, layout design, you name it… she wants something different. She is attentive to her clients’ true vision and always creates memorable and beautiful events. We truly admire her and her abundant talent and appreciate our partnership with her and the CLINK team.

Here are Gina’s thoughts on her design.

“CLINK prides itself on offering designs that are true to our clients’ visions. For the Marquee inspiration area we wanted to showcase a look that was elegant, fashion-forward and minimalist. The rosette look is huge right now. It’s on linens, cakes, wedding gowns and even invitations. We coupled that with the “colorless” palette that is seasonless and can be used indoors or out. Nude, cashmere and blush! We chose to decorate the table with oversized paper blooms to create a romantic feel, while still being budget friendly. You will see rosette chair ties on our cocktail tables and chairs. This is a new twist in table fashions, and we are hoping the look will catch on!”

We hope so too! We’ll feature Gina’s design throughout September and hope you can drop by and see her beautiful work in person.
