“A Wedding for All Seasons: An Evening with Sasha Souza”
By Ashley Holder
The Hilton Anatole hosted ISES Dallas and its guests for the September program about wedding design presented by Sasha Souza. Sasha Souza is the owner of Sasha Souza Events in California and does events all over the world.
VIP guests had the opportunity to go up to Nana to visit in a more intimate environment with Sasha over cocktails. Once the VIP time was over, everyone headed downstairs to the Wedgwood Room for socializing and to see the entries to the Design Board Competition. Guests entering into the event walked through the entries from event planners, florists and more.
Stunning pictures of the weddings and dreams weddings were perfectly presented on poster boards. In the reception area, guests were treated to beautiful ladies dressed in amazing wedding gowns compliments of Triple Play Staffing and The White Gown Showroom respectively. Elan Make Up showed off their skills with a make up brush by doing the models’ make up for the evening. CORT Event Furnishings provided luxurious furniture for guests to perch on as they talked to others.

Finally the doors swung open and guests filed into the ballroom where they were transported to a fairy tale wedding. The four seasons were represented by groups of tables which were adored with lavish centerpieces varied from beautiful arrangements of roses, calla lilies, and orchids and more provided by Out of the Garden. Each tabletop testified to how tabletop décor such as china and glassware can carry through with a theme down to the smallest details. Ducky-Bob’s Event Specialists provided the tabletop items and linens. The chargers furthered the décor by being customized with removable stick-ons of excerpts from Sasha Souza’s book, Signature Sasha: Magnificent Weddings by Design. Menu cards, signage and graphic design were all compliments of Orange Spot, Pink Nose. The focal point to the room however was the stunning cake provided by Frosted Art Bakery. We all know lighting is what really transforms a room. Beyond provided all the lighting including uplighting which shifted color throughout the event which morphed the ambience to make it seem like an entirely different room. Gobos kindly provided by In-Light Gobos used blank wall space to show quotes from Sasha’s book. Glenn Roush of Roush Productions was our amazing emcee and provided the entertainment for the evening which added a special touch to the program. The wonderful staff of PSAV made sure we had everything we needed for the sound and visual for the program. All the photos are compliments of Mallouf Photography. Value of Work
