“The sold out La Soiree event, held at the gorgeous Terra Gallery in San Francisco was, “James Bond” themed, so naturally I wanted to do something inspired by one of the films, while also making sure the style and design were modern, current and NYE inspired!
I was inspired by the most recent film, “Skyfall” (before “Spectre” came out), and loved the cold Scottish winter landscape and the tall stags that flanked the entrance to Bond’s childhood home. I used these gold stags to flank each end of the table, sea urchin wall decor to symbolize a harsh, prickly environment, as well as a hard upbringing for Bond. I used the black and copper tea light urns with floral print to symbolize something beautiful coming from something dark, and a tall magnolia arrangement with gold branches to bring scale and impact to the small space. I LOVED using the faux fur blanket to recreate the mountains, but it also brought a ‘sexy’ appeal to the design that no other piece on the table could do.
I usually go for more technically difficult or elaborate floral designs, but I kept the white hydrangea arrangements simple and sleek – keeping with the modern feel and letting the rest of the theme decor to shine through!” – Jaimee Leigh Events
