Girlfriends Spring 2014

Twice annually we hold an awesome woman's event at Journey.  This spring's Girlfriends was themed to the tune of Audrrey Hepburn.  We wanted to create a classy environment for the women to come together and learn about God's identity for them.

We wanted to keep this set simple and elegant.  We used our Christmas Set as our jumping off point.  Link to Christmas '13.  We made some Austrian curtains with Silver poly sheen, grip clips, and lots of Pipe. The Fuax-astirans, or as Patrick refers to them, our faux-austrians, had awesome swoops of fabric that caught light delightfully.

Since we left up the faux-austrians for about a month, we wanted to make certain that the set wasn't stale when we used it on this event. So to add some class and another layer of dimension, we installed some 20' tall bead curtains

These were about $80 a piece but took light amazingly! At some point in the future I think we are going to make a backdrop out of them. We used a few Colorblast LEDs to light the curtains and they looked fantastic.

To play into the elegance of the night, we decided to do a creative piece. We landed on Trent (our worship pastor) singing "The Way You Look Tonight" through out the audience. To enhance the vibe, we rented a Grand Piano and asked some of our worship team "play" horns (a recorded horn track made the gimmick look believable). With Trent moving around the auditorium, we also had to rent a spotlight to follow him. The difference in light from the spotlight made the moment in the event stand out.
