All Dressed Up for the Holidays

Slate Concepts had the pleasure of staging one of the most wonderful homes in Naples, Long Beach inside and out for the numerous events being held there this Season. 

This home is hosting Cocktail Parties, an Annual Caroling Party, evenings with close friends and family and all the wonderful times meant to be shared at Christmas.

From it's warm entry way leading to the Festive Dining Room,  Elegant Living Room or to it's incredible outdoor entertainment area - we loved creating a bit of Christmas to set the stage for this remarkable family home. 

Cookies and Coco Anyone?

Young and Old - will gather around this Slate Concepts Holiday Fun Desert Bar!

We are ready for the Long Beach Holiday Boat Parade quickly approaching, and as guests return from a chilly night of strolling and visiting along the parade route - they will be enjoying Santa's favorite Holiday Bites and Beverage - Hot Coco and Cookies.  Everyone we know loves this part of the Party!

Hosting the Holiday...With a Little Help from Slate Concepts!

No matter who you are, what you are doing or where you are going - it's here! THE HOLIDAYS! Slate Concepts has created ideas and solutions to ease into Hosting or attending the Season's events. 

We made one of a kind Decorative pieces for the home available for a private guest list on Thursday evening at our Slate Concepts Holiday Open House.   

Over 50 people were able to leisurely enjoy some Holiday Cheer, some of Laurie's famous "sipper" soups and small seasonal taste treats while shopping for Seasonal Centerpieces, Hostess Gifts, Special Holiday Decor and those little "something extras" we all love to give during this wonderful time of the year.

Energy was high and yet the relaxing atmosphere was the perfect setting for this first annual "Hosting the Holiday" event. 

We merged lots of succulents, fall gourds, nuts and plants together in beautiful vessels to create special additions, designed to help the "Holiday Host" add a little something new to the Fall and Winter festivities. Ideas were flowing and special orders were placed during this fun evening - and we are excited to provide the perfect size, shape and color piece for our very special clients. 

Thank you to all who attended - it was a blast!

A "Pop Up" Garden Party

Slate kicks off the Fall season with an intimate 30th Birthday for Alissa. The "Pop Up" Garden Party was held in a well known Los Angeles Park - however this Event was the first time this venue was used in such a unique fashion.

Slate used earthy tones of greys and burlap to complement the natural environment of the Parks Arbor and the mood was set with a beautiful soft glow.

Laurie Soffa of Slate created an unbelievable menu for the evening which had to be prepared and kept either hot or cold during the event staging and throughout the evening as each coarse was served. The Menu included a cheese and charcuterie table during cocktails, a delicious salad followed by a soup trio, a seafood cold plate as well as a hearty warm trio of meats. All this was topped of with a unique Affogato Bar presented by the company Brew Ha Ha for all Alissa's guests to enjoy as the evening continued into the night. Entertainment was provided by the Birthday girl herself and her up and coming acapella group, The LA-LAs.

Local residents were in awe of the transformation of the Parks Arbor for the soiree and Slate will be creating up and coming events in the area due to the overwhelming response.

Stay tuned for Slates next event posting!
