Ordinary to Extraordinary

 We here at Pink Monkey love to transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary spaces. This basic courtyard became a plush lounge for a trendy Bar Mitzvah. A little fabric and throw pillows go a long way!  We padded the benches to create comfortable sitting area and covered it with gorgeous fabrics. Also, in adding fabric curtains to the wall made the space much more inviting and warm. With a blank space we like to include an array of colors and textures to give the area as much personality as possible.  When looking at a space with a creative eye you never know what you can create! This challenge led to amazing results. We love to create beauty from a blank slate or a unique space and Pink Monkey is always up for a challenge!

Pink Monkey Loves Pink!

Pink can be fabulous as long as it is done right.  Valerie’s baby shower shows as long as it is used in subtle shades (no Pepto Bismol pink here!) and used with a complementing color, pink can be both sophisticated and feminine. Since this baby shower was done in spring we used more of a muted palette of colors. The faint green and peachy pink shades truly made for a perfect pairing. With the addition of a checkered ribbon the entire theme had a homemade touch. As always every detail was connected so even the menus were printed on light pink paper to stay consistent. 

Another playful element was the washcloths we handmade to look like bunnies. Since we included some soap inside the washcloth, it added a lovely scent to the entire room. The message of all this is that pink can be perfect but be sure not to go over the top. Pink Monkey truly loves pink but of course as with everything, always in moderation!

No Frills Here...

For Gabrielle and Matthew’s wedding we wanted to make sure their true love for each other shined. We could tell how in love they were just by the way they looked at each other and being the hopeless romantics we are, we wanted their true love to be reflected in their décor. After all, the couple’s love is the most important aspect of any wedding! The bride was so beautiful that this wedding needed to incorporate her sophistication and grace. This couple’s classic style inspired us to create a simple and elegant wedding for them with a color palette of soft pinks and ivory. Understated glamour made this wedding truly timeless. The muted colors, romantic details and abundance of candles made this wedding feel intimate despite its size. True love is the base to any amazing wedding and we used Gabrielle and Matthew’s love as inspiration to make their special day as special as their love.

Green with Envy

Make your friends envious of your amazing event and use the not so common color, green. Green is rarely incorporated into themes of weddings but this color represents more than greed and envy. Green actually symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and peace which are all important characteristics for a good marriage. At Stephanie and Mikes wedding at Tribecca Rooftop, green was the accent chosen to bring the outdoors in. We also include crisp white to balance the vibrant green.

This fabulous color scheme of this wedding stayed consistent allowing from everything from the save the dates to thank you cards to include this unique, green detail. The invitations were a special touch because they were actually done by one of the bridesmaids, Talia. The gorgeous flower arrangements at this wedding were done by Rountree Flowers.

For weddings with a lot of out of town guests it is great to incorporate this exciting city into your wedding. Plus your guests will definitely appreciate the thoughtful gesture. This grand center piece for the escort card table was the perfect way to bring nature into the this industrial space. Our biggest tip is don't be afraid to go bold on your big day! Taking risks can pay off big in the end.

Red Light, Green Light, 1, 2, 3!

Pink Monkey also loves red! After all, the monkey does love color. Red can be used for any occasion for both genders at any age. Whether it is a 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd  birthday or other life cycle event, red can work perfectly. We do love red for children’s birthdays as seen in the photos below. For this party we included simple white tying in the colorful candy and gingham pattern. We love to bring the outdoors in so we included grass in the baskets holding up the yummy lollipop favors. This grass matched the bright green daisy stems exposed in the clear vases holding the flower arrangements. This fun theme delighted children and adults alike. Everyone loves candy no matter the age. Getting candy in some cool candy favors are always a success! Vibrant colors such as red and tasty treats can make any party fun for both the children and the adult guests.
