WHIRL
2013 2014
By Andrea Bosco
It often takes a village to throw the party of the year, not
to mention a slew of creativity, a decent budget, and a
clear purpose. However, the process doesn’t have to be
complicated. Custom elements equate the entire affair — from
stationery to décor to favors, leaving guests with a continued
experience. So we looked to local event planning professionals
and peppered this piece with tips on constructing a flawless
fête. Remember: take one bullet point at a time!

Pops of Culture
•Ask yourself “what’s my goal?”
says Theresa Sciullo Kaufman,
owner of Theresa Kaufman Events
& Public Relations and president
elect of ISES Pittsburgh. Determine
your event’s purpose and a focal
point to set the tone.
•“Gatsby is all the rage!” says
Kaufman. Look at The Great
Gatsby film and note the Tiffany &
Co. touches, use of pearls, orchids,
and art deco.
•Stay in style by serving craft cocktails
that have made a comeback, she
says. Think Gin Rickey, Rob Roy,
Sidecar, Old Fashioned. The antique
aperitif makes for a more interesting
conversation piece, as it’s not-yourstandard gin and tonic. We say spice
it up with a twist of citrus rind!
•Kaufman reminds her clients they
can borrow inspiration from just
about anything — superheroes,
zombies, Downton Abbey — but
the key is making it reflect your
personal character or the character
of the organization.
•“The worst thing you can do is
try and force a fit just because
something is popular,” she says.
•Make clean, simplified choices, and
mix in avant-garde elements for a
modern approach.

•Kristin Nolte, regional account
executive of All Occasions Party
Rental, advises clients to focus on
making an impact in one, central
part of the room. “Maybe make a
square or circular bar,” she says.
“Build a lounge around the dance
floor, or, for a wedding, play up the
bridal table with more accents than
the rest of the room.”
•Nolte adds to Kaufman’s
suggestion of going art deco. “It’s
all about crystal chandeliers!” she
says. “They can be rented and
installed in reception rooms.”

AUGUST 2013
President and Project Strategy
Consultant Susie Franklin of
Susie Franklin Consulting, Inc.,
says whether you’re planning
a large or small party, or gala,
think about “creature comforts.”
“Flowers, striking linens, and
luscious food can monopolize
the focus,” she says. “My goal is
a happy and comfortable guest!
Plenty of seating, appropriate
room temperature, simple hors
d’oeuvres that don’t crumble on
the first bite.” A must: “Never,
ever have a line at the bar,” says
Franklin. “Always make it easy
to get that first cocktail.”
