Dr. Carstarphen Graduation
Graduations usually mean a time of celebration. But with long, hot robes, drawn out ceremonies and sometimes nagging family on hand, glam may not be the first word that comes to mind when thinking of the day you turn your tassle. Not the case for Dr. LaToya Carstarphen who pulled out all the stops for the celebration of her doctoral degree. “First off, I knew I wanted glam! I chose a color palette of deep purple, fuchsia and red because of how regal and lush the colors are together . I definitely wanted something outside of the norm in regards to a graduation party,” LaToya said. She says event planner Valia Rose took that color palette and ran with it, conquering her elaborate party look effortlessly! “My planner is known for taking dated facilities and giving them a breath of life. I knew with this venue she would be able to do her magic and give us a wow factor; and she did!” LaToya said. The Valia Rose concierge team assisted with the guest of honor’s custom gown fittings, food tastings, grad photos and more. And speaking of those photos, one was displayed on the dance floor at the party making LaToya truly the center of attention for her big night!

Baby Shower: Winter Wonderland
A Boogie with the Hoodie is one of hip hop’s new artists to watch. With two platinum tracks and a spot on XXL Magazine’s Freshman Class list, he is a rising star in the industry. But on a chilly January day in Manhattan, Boogie’s highest honor was being recognized as Dad-To-Be. He and girlfriend Ella celebrated their daughter’s arrival with a winter wonderland shower that included several nods to dad’s skyrocketing career; starting with the new baby’s name, Melody. Boogie also took the stage during the shower to perform. “The most unique aspect of A Boogie and Ella’s shower is that he performed his latest song so we made sure he had a stage,” the team from Primrose Couture Events said. To help create the winter wonderland the Primrose team took inspiration from textures and colors of fabrics found at Mood. Soft pinks and silvers with hints of purple to accent were used as a color palette. The accent seen in both mom’s fierce hair highlights and in the uplighting, something the Primrose team believes can change the overall visual success of any event. “The event space was pretty dark! We always advise everyone to choose lighting. Lighting can change the look of any venue,” the team said. Along with the soft color palette, the design team incorporated over the top snowflakes that were seen on guest’s custom bottle favors and on the top of two, three-tier cakes. Ella requested the winter wonderland theme and asked that the entire event be simple yet elegant. A party to welcome a new princess of hip-hop in a unique style.
