mpi event - pasadena convention center

when MPI (meeting professionals international) decided to hold their annual convention in LA, they knew that their after-party needed to be very "california cool"...so we went with a hip, clean, beachy vibe - which meant we passed on the sand, starfish and wicker and opted for aqua, orchids and white leather lounge furniture!


how cool are those new heater covers from classic party rentals (thanks maureen!)?  they didn't have them available in white for the party so we went with black...but they do carry them in white normally...check them out!
of course standard LA fare was abundant - sushi and chilled sake!  




check out the aqua vintage woody that kari (from the peterson automotive museum) arranged to have onsite!  it really helped set that beachy, "california cool" vibe...




here i am with the lovely danielle (from tres LA) and michelle (from BBJ linen), who helped pull off the whole event!
location:  the pasadena convention center
