Jose Graterol, http://www.josedesigns.com

was called to design a Tuscan Bar Mitzvah in Aventura, FL, by Lisi from Forever Events, http://www.forever-events.com

Lisi was instrumental in designing the floor plan and specifying all the rental furniture, linens, table accessories, vendor choices, and coordination & oversight for the entire event!  She is very talented and great in multi-tasking!

After walking around the intimate, Orthodox Safra Turnberry synagogue, http://www.safraaventura.com/

Jose was truly inspired by the exterior architecture of the building, with its trellis over the patio, the view to the canal, iron railings, and its inlaid marble patio.  He decided to incorporate every aspect of its great features into the event to make it...breathtaking & delicious!!!

Jose intertwined hundreds of Sunflowers with vines from the trellis in an undulating pattern!  Fabric runners with a leaf pattern were custom made by Nuage Linens, http://www.nuagedesigns.com/

Openwork iron Napkin rings and Charger plates were provided by Suzie at Panache, http://www.linenswithpanache.com/ 

Linen chair backs with horn buttons covering the Chivari stools created a polished look for the tables. 

What about those tasty centerpieces??  Jose incorporated more than 2,000 sunflowers into this event!  Over 500 pounds of fruit were used, too~ Lemons, Red & Green Globe Grapes, Red, Green & Yellow Apples!  It is a real art to work with food and fruit in floral centerpieces!  This is another way in which Jose excels in his field!  Jose created the compotes seen here, too!  And, he photographed this party, too!  Lisi designed the floor plan to include round tables, two royal tables, and wicker, cocktail tables, too!  Rosemary sprigs were in each napkin ring!  Bubble Miami provided the Espresso Wood Benches at the Royal Tables, http://www.bubblemiami.com

Room Service Rentals provided Blackboard Bars upon which Jose drew freehand, original Italian hills with sunflowers~ http://www.roomservicerentals.com

We hope you Enjoy the results of this Italian fantasy here in Miami!

Food Art were the caterers for this Bar Mitzvah.  Galie's provided the kosher chocolates, http://www.galiescollections.com/

Inside the synagogue, there was a wishing tree.  The guests were given tags to hang onto the 3 different types of ribbons hanging from the tree branches.  Jose created a stunning entry piece!

 

Jose Graterol and his team are so proud to be called upon planners and clients to create lasting memories!  Jose is reinventing event design by combining his endless imagination with the clients' dreams and distinct personalities! 

Unlike Miami flower shops, Jose Graterol always changes the his designs, with no party ever repeated!  Jose Graterol does not reuse flowers like the Design District flower shops!  We do not store flowers or flower arrangements in hot trucks parked outside our warehouse!  Our clients are not comfortable playing the "lottery" with the flower colors, quality and design.  We only use the best ingredients so that our events rise above the competition! 

Enjoy!  Steve & Jose, 305.788.0562
