Time for a little confession… here at Morgan Events, we love luxury. It might not be that much of a secret but it is SO true! The definition itself reveals it all: a state of great comfort or elegance. Well who could argue with comfort and elegance? Especially when designing special events for large groups that last for hours! Celebrations deserve to be full of exquisite details. The hosts and honored guests should get to fully enjoy and appreciate the experience of the event, whether it’s a birthday celebration, wedding or even a fundraiser. When all the details are seamlessly managed, everyone can focus on the meaning or purpose of the event.
One of our favorite ways to add a little luxe to any special event is to create a luxury lounge vignette. Once a trend for only the grandest of soirees, lounge seating areas are now “a must have” at most events. But it’s not our style to just set up a few sofas and call it a lounge. Oh no, we elevate the decor to the status of Luxury Lounge - worthy of using two big L’s! Take a look below and read on!
To do this, we pay attention to the details, consider the setting, the design scheme as a whole and the amount of space we’ll need to make the lounge area a luxurious destination for guests to find. We find the right pieces for any event and if we can’t find them, we can have custom build pieces made. Once the big items are in place - sofas with the proper fabric, chairs grouped in pairs, tables placed for holding cocktails and purses - then we can focus on the smaller touches. Our team will add satellite flower arrangements to coffee and side tables, sequined linens to bar tables, perhaps custom serviettes or coasters, and often, plush pillows to the furniture or rugs over the floor. Within the lounge area we also like to place an eye-catching, full-service bar, and equip servers with beautifully presented trays of passed hors d’oeuvres.
And finally, in keeping with the idea of elevating the design one notch higher, our creative team adds large visual elements to designate the borders of the Luxury Lounge. Large visual elements include greenery or floral arrangements on raised pedestals, pipe and drape with luxe fabrics, and as seen below, essential lighting. As you see here from this design at Pier 27, a combination of uplighting and pattern wash truly adds to a stunning statement. Not to mention that brilliant show-stopping chandelier!
