Current Mood…

Let’s set the scene. Imagine an evening adorned with dark, moody florals and untamed wildflowers, where warm woods meet crisp linens, and candlelight dances in the company of brass and black accents. This is how we conjure the ambiance. We play with these deep, luxurious tones, contrasting them with the purity of white and cream, creating the very essence of autumn’s embrace as those first leaves gracefully descend. It’s a bit like falling under a spell, for as you gaze upon these hauntingly beautiful tablescapes, you’ll awaken to the realization that you are, in fact, an autumn person.  

The esteemed members of Hosts Global, including the maestros at Experience Holy City in Charleston, SC, the artisans at Operation Altitude in Colorado, along with the visionaries at Hosts Louisville and Hosts Washington DC, crafted their own versions of potions in cauldrons, but they conjured a different kind of magic. In Charleston, SC, Experience Holy City unearthed the mystical charm of the Holy City, while in Colorado, Operation Altitude revealed the secrets of high-altitude enchantment. Meanwhile, Hosts Louisville and Hosts Washington DC sourced the perfect elements to chase away the chill in the air and then masterfully infused it into the very essence of their events.

Fall flowers hit different

The allure of autumn blooms is something truly extraordinary. They carry a weight of depth and richness that’s unparalleled. Fall flowers have the uncanny ability to infuse a room with those profound, dark undertones, punctuated by bursts of color reminiscent of the season’s foliage.  Bewitching the tables they grace, they enchant the very tables they adorn, turning every setting into a mesmerizing canvas of nature’s artistry. 

Hosts Global Members, sun-soaked sorcerers at Cacique in the Bahamas and COTC in Miami have uncovered the recipe for the ultimate alchemy – blending the warmth of tropical climates with the irresistible charm of autumn. Meanwhile, Hosts Washington DC opts for a sustainable succulent approach, bringing the beauty of the desert to life, while Hosts Louisville weaves boho accents that pair perfectly with that honey-hued bourbon. It’s a tapestry of innovation that proves, in the world of events, you can truly have the best of both worlds.
