Northwest Event Show 2012

Trade-show season is upon us once again - and to match our new marketing campaign, PJ Hummel & Co. brought glam camping to the Washington State Convention Center!

Set in front of 20' high soft blue dupioni drapery (to represent a beautiful sunny day!), we pitched our canvas tent! Persian rugs lined the ground, and fun northwest inspired odds and ends filled the booth.

We love designing our own trade-show booths because it's a great way to show off how "kit booths" don't have to be the norm. Textiles are often perceived as more approachable vs. flat foldout signage.

We also designed the Attendee Lounge for the show this year that conveniently doubled as a charging station. How many times have you had a dead cell-phone while out and about? This booth was done in show colors, and was an all around hit!

Red Lion 5th Ave Seattle Wedding Reception

A few weeks back we helped our friends The Red Lion Hotel 5th Ave Seattle shoot a wedding look-book for their newly renovated ballrooms. Both the Emerald & Seattle ballrooms have beautiful BOLD new carpets that are joy to work with. It's no secrete that we love "over-the-top" decor, so the Red Lion was a great canvas!

The reception diner was shot in the Emerald Ballroom. We dressed the space in teal crush linens topped with lush purple bouquets on silver candle sticks & towers. A sweetheart table was set with our iconic moon chairs which were also used in the ceremony space.

We set a reception lounge in the Seattle Ballroom with all white furniture and glowing accents to compliment the carpet. We even designed a swing (our favorite!) for the lounge!

Here are some of the first images emerging from the photo-shoot. We might be biased, but we think the photos are enchanting! We'll post the magical ceremony photos soon!

Northwest Event Show ~ B&E 2011!

This week, PJHC made it's yearly pilgrimage to the the Northwest Banquet & Event Show. This is one of our favorite projects of the year, because we get to be the client! It's all about showing off our favorite things. We always help sponsor the show, providing decor for the registration area and attendee lounge, in exchange for the freedom to do something crazy in our booth.

This year's theme: Indian Indulgence, and our swing was back by popular demand! Our booth was a hit and won the award for Best Booth Overall! Many thanks to the Northwest Event Show for making this all possible!


Here are a few of our favorite photos:
