As a designer, the jobs where clients have grand dreams but also have a great budget may seem to be the most exciting……and for the most part, I might agree. However, in my world I am often asked to do grand things on a small budget. I’ve gotten quite good at this and even might admit to enjoying the challenge. In April the Kiwanis Club of San Bernardino hosted the Division 36 Council Meeting of Kiwanis at Arrowhead Country Club and needed an impactful yet simple table decor on a shoestring budget. Carrie to the rescue! Using the color scheme of Kiwanis (blue and gold/yellow), I created a very simple design using yellow roses, royal blue pintuck linens and white/royal blue damask napkins that simply popped. Even the cakes I ordered matched. The simple design of the arrangements allowed each female guest to remove a rose and take it home with them. A lovely gesture. AND the money saved on such an event helps the San Bernardino club to keep their funds for things like student scholarships and clothing and school supplies for underprivileged children. Truly a win-win.
