Encore Decor's Events Case Study, Photos and Details

Holy Cross Health Foundation

Blue Tie Ball 2019

September 28, 2019
Bethesda North Marriott

The Annual Blue Tie Ball benefited the Holy Cross Cancer Institute, so our designs incorporated dimensional ribbons to symbolize the fight against cancer. We divided the ballroom to create ease of flow from reception to gala, and to encourage guests to visit the donation stations inside the ballroom. The client wanted to highlight patient stories so we produced impactful double-sided graphic displays relating to the hope Holy Cross offers patients as a regional leader in people-centered care. Floral accents and LED tables were effective in making these primary focal points.

The entertainment stage faced towards the reception space and featured our energetic translucent streamer backdrop backed by a white cyclorama. On the other opposite side, we created a giant dimensional ribbon loop that twirled across the set of elegant cream drape. We did everything you see here, from the furnishings, graphics, lighting, floral and stage.

International Astronautics Congress 2019

Lunar Lounge

October 21, 2019
Walter E. Washington Convention Center

The 70th International Astronautical Congress celebrated both the victories past and exciting future of space exploration; commemorating the fifty-year anniversary of the first lunar landing. For the 6,000+ astronauts, scientists and space enthusiasts attending this multi-day conference, it was important to have a dedicated area within the exhibit hall to grab a cup of coffee and a moment’s reprieve.

Our team curated an ultra-modern charging lounge backed by an LED galaxy backdrop to bring this otherworldly tone to life. The focal point was a giant custom cut-out of Neil Armstrong’s most famous quote. This dimensional foam fabrication we designed served as a popular selfie opportunity for guests, as they imagined themselves in Armstrong’s moon foot print back in 1969.

Many years worth of experience and skills building custom exhibit structures was utilized in the branded coffee kiosk facade that kept registrants going throughout three days of general sessions.

We know the Washington Convention Center inside and out, so our client was confident that we could transform this massive space in all the ways they had envisioned.

Equal Justice Works

Dinner

October 20, 2016
Renaissance Hotel
Washington, D.C.

Organizations like Equal Justice Works have to focus on their core values, and helping deliver their message was crucial to us! Our mission was to convey their key information in a fresh way, which was also able to be upcycled for future use. An illuminated truss backdrop with their logo was designed and produced entirely by our team. Overall, the space at the Renaissance was utilized to develop an engaging informative experience while making economical sense to a non-profit.

Westfields Marriott Hotel

2015 Holiday Decor

Holiday Season 2015
Westfields Marriott
Chantilly, VA

Westfields Marriott Hotel in Chantilly has a breathtaking interior, complete with ornate columns, Asian style statues, and a soaring ceiling. What better way to decorate in a lobby of this scale than with a twenty foot tree! Atop a huge table with the top settling just beneath a tassled chandelier, our lit tree has been reintroduced for the past five years and hand-decorated with thousands of timeless ornaments.

Ariana and Elliot’s wedding

January 15, 2015
National Museum of Women in the Arts
Washington, D.C.

Ariana and Elliot’s wedding was a one-in-a-lifetime experience— from the pre-reception at the National Building Museum to their ceremony in the ornate and picturesque National Museum for Women in the Arts, Encore Decor was there to provide all the spectacular details. Floral centerpieces and personals, a Colombian-Jewish twist on an elaborate “Hasmah” wall, and a chuppah adorned with blooming Quince branches, plus many other accents you can see here, were all produced by our team.
