Festival of Trees 2012

Distinctively Yours Event Management again participated in the Festival of Trees to benefit the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Although we always design a Christmas tree last year was our first attempt at designing wreaths and we were so happy with the results, we did two wreaths in addition this year.

We did not have a theme this year but focused more on the colors – chocolate and gold. In addition to gold and chocolate ornaments, there were little jars of chocolate hung throughout the tree. We used different color as well as different texture ribbon to create the wonderful bows that served as our treetopper. We were happy to find that by 10:30 am on Friday our tree was already sold. YEAH!!!

One of the wreaths matched the chocolate and gold but the other was just a fun time playing with yarn. We hope that some nice family was able to enjoy these wreaths that we had such a good time making.




Designed for the National Association of
Catering Executives

 

In addition to our tree and two wreaths, we also designed a tree for the National Association of Catering Executives – Baltimore (NACE). We are heavily involved with NACE and every year NACE members volunteer to decorate the Kennedy Krieger tree. We were pretty pleased with the end result. This tree was also sold on Friday.

If you or someone you know would like us to come and decorate your tree or home for the holidays, please contact us at (410) 905-6178 or info@distinctivelyyoursevents.com .

Kennedy Krieger Festival of Trees

For the second year we have decorated a tree for the Festival of Trees held at the Maryland State Fair Grounds in Timonium, Maryland.


As indicated in the notice to all volunteers , “The Festival of Trees benefits Kennedy Krieger Institute, a comprehensive resource for children with disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal system. The Festival is a holiday themed event with local music and entertainment, beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses, shopping, a children’s sports, games and crafts area, and of course, Santa Claus. Held in the Cow Palace at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, Kennedy Krieger Institute’s Festival of Trees 2010 will take place from Friday, November 26 through Sunday, November 28, 2010. Families throughout the region eagerly look forward to this event and consider it a holiday tradition. Last year’s event attracted nearly 40,000 visitors and raised close to $900,000 for the patient programs and research performed at Kennedy Krieger Institute.”

Those numbers are HUGE and helps to provide necessary care for children within our communities. After last year’s wonderful experience we decided to participate again and starting planning last December for this year’s tree. We had decided on black, pink, and silver and used the theme Some like it Haute. We used a lot of different shapes and sizes of ornaments but lots of lights. And we think our tree came out great. I am excited about meeting my family and friends to tour the festival on Sunday and seeing all the great ideas that various designers and families came up with to express the holiday season.
