For Lindsay and Tom’s surprise birthday celebration, we transformed Vue on 50 into an opulent red-and-gold dreamscape, complete with dramatic florals, lavish décor, and a breathtaking city skyline as the backdrop.

The Venue

Located high above the city, Vue on 50 provided floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of Philadelphia. This chic, modern space was the perfect blank canvas for a bold and sophisticated event design.

Design Highlights

💐 Dramatic Floral Installations

Lush arrangements of deep red roses and anthuriums paired with sleek gold stands made a striking statement from the moment guests entered.
Romantic candlelight in tall glass cylinders lined the entryway and tables, creating a warm and inviting glow against the city lights.

✨ Grand Entrance

A red-draped entrance framed by golden statues adorned with cascading floral pieces welcomed guests into the celebration.
The moment felt like stepping into a private gala, setting the tone for an evening of elegance and surprise.

🥂 Showgirl Champagne Dress

Guests were greeted by a glamorous showgirl in a sparkling red sequin gown with a champagne skirt, offering bubbly as they arrived — a unique and interactive welcome.

🍸 Feather-Topped Cocktail Decor

Cocktail tables were crowned with towering red feather arrangements in ornate gold stands, adding height and drama to the reception area.
A stylish bar menu, framed with the event’s custom black-and-white diamond pattern, tied into the overall design.

🍽 Luxe Dining Experience

Black linen-covered tables were set with textured black charger plates, crisp black napkins, and elegant menus.
Long banquet tables overflowed with tightly clustered red roses, accented by rows of floating candles and tall, slender taper holders.
The dramatic combination of black, red, and gold created an intimate yet grand atmosphere for dinner.
