So this past Thursday we were fortunate enough to work again with one of our favourite production companies in Vancouver, BrandLIVE, on an extraordinary event at my favorite place on earth, Terminal City Club.  The event did double duty as a graduation celebration for a corporate networking group as well as honour the groups 50th anniversary.   A vintage themed 1940s oscar party complete with vintage car (thank you Adrian Josef from A Stylish Arrival for the amazing gift!) in the foyer, red carpet, stunning golden flocked damask linens in the dining room…and the best part: PAPARAZZI!  I hired some actors so play 1940s press..complete with fedoras and vintage cameras (supplied by the ever lovely Erin Gilmore)…they were all wired up with radios and we fed them the guests names as they pulled into the valet and the red carpet.  The paprazzi called their names and asked them who they were wearing.  Completely fabulous!  More pictures to follow but here’s a sneak peak courtesy of Carrie Marshall:
