Hey y’all! Welcome back to the blog! This week is very exciting as we are going to do a rewind on the 2021 30A Wine Festival. This is a wonderful weekend long wine festival that is held in the stunning Alys Beach, in Florida. It is hosted to celebrate a rich and diverse collective of food, wine, and community and all in benefit of The Children’s Volunteer Health Network. Every year we love working together with the Alys Beach team and many other vendors to create an amazing experience for the attendees.
The festival itself is broken out into numerous events over the weekend, each one separate and unique. Because there are so many great events happening during the festival we thought it might be fun to do a rewind and highlight each event. So let's get started.
Thursday
The Oysters and Champagne Dinner was the first event on Thursday evening on Kelly Green. For this event the design wanted to mix a bit of modern and clean with natural elements that have depth and texture. To achieve this we went with our white Losberger tent in a 50’ x 70’ to define the space. We brought in our: wine country cross back chairs, white wood curved bars, boxwood walls, oyster plates and oyster forks. The mix of the white and brown helps to achieve the overall feel of modern but still coastal. And how cute are our oyster plates, right?!
Also on Thursday was the Tequila - Frida Party in Central Park. This event was designed with plenty of color and fun in mind. Because of this we chose another white Losberger tent in a 40’ x 60’ to define the space. This allowed for the many colors to pop inside the tent. To help achieve the envisioned design of this event, we brought in our: boxwood walls, gold chameleon chairs with copper cushion caps, hammered ice gold band chargers, arrezzo brushed gold silverware, gold rim plates and bowls, amber goblets, coupe glasses, Collins glasses and shot glasses. These rentals helped tie the bright colors together making for a colorful and fun party!
Friday
On Friday the Evening Land Wine Dinner at Caliza Pool is next up. Caliza pool is a beautiful poolside venue with modern architecture so we wanted to coordinate with those modern elements for this event design. We brought in our: acrylic metropolitan tables, ghost chairs, sentry silver silverware, wine country plates, smoke beaded glasses, and footed glass bowls. These rentals really help to pull together a modern dinner inside a beautiful modern space.
Also on Friday was the Thompson Wine Dinner at Arboleda Park. The Thompson Wine Dinner was inspired by the style and feel of Italy. With crisp whites and pops of blue, yellow and green, the elements helped you feel transported to the Italian Riviera. For this event we brought in our; king estate tables, wine country cross back chairs, sentry silverware, wine country plates, and plenty of 11oz wine glasses. The combination of these rentals created a laidback Italian vibe. We love the lemons as place cards!
Saturday
Saturday featured the Chalet Dinner at Firepit Park. This dinner was designed with a natural and industrial feel. Because of this, we brought in: 8 farm tables and cross back chairs. These wood elements contribute to the overall feel of natural and industrial. Fisher’s Flowers provided some great wood pergolas to display some industrial lighting. We love the details of having the fire pits on and blankets for each guest.
Sunday
Sunday kicked off the final day of the wine festival with the Gospel Brunch at Gulf Green. As the name would suggest we wanted to bring in elements of a church to this event so we chose our oakwood pews. The dark color of the pews really pops against the white and green colors of Gulf Green. What a beautiful setting to enjoy some brunch and gospel music!
The final event of the 30A Wine Festival 2021 was Rose Croquet on Kelly Green! With a beautiful white Losberger 50’ x 70’ to build the event off of, the team wanted to have a bright white event with pops of pink and green. To pull this vision together we brought in our fun acrylic ghost chairs. These allow for the beauty of the location to pop. We also had boxwood walls that featured the brackets for the croquet game. Fisher’s Flowers provided some beautiful florals in coordinating colors to add the final touch.
That wraps up a wonderful weekend of events for the 2021 30A Wine Festival! We love getting to be a part of this special team of vendors every year and we are so excited for 2022! Have you been to the 30A Wine Festival in Alys Beach? If so, tell us your favorite event!
Till next time,
