Ohhh the Options when you Plan It With Me! A colorful and texture filled, interactive event in Dallas.
A Night Beaming with Color, Texture & Light!
While the event might be over, we're still swooning!The Mason Dallas was the perfect venue for our colorful and texture filled, interactive event in Dallas. Under the direction of Plan It With Me Owner & Lead Planner, Kathy Bull, the Mason's historic architecture and versatile space allowed our planning team us to showcase a unique twist on the traditional open house. Through our vision, we created an inviting and enchanting atmosphere for all guests.
More than 30 sponsor vendors dedicated their time, resources and staff to executing what many have said was, "the best open house" they'd ever been too. One of our favorite comments comes from @thedreyson who posted, "100% agree that it was the best one we've been to. We do planning as part of our services and I was so wowed by what you put together for an open house. We're normally in and out of those, but there were so many experiences, we stayed the whole time, and we were able to get fantastic ideas for future events!" Seeing the entire night beam with color, texture, and light, and watching everyone have so much fun, is what it was all about.
So how did we do it? Or better yet, how did we do it in a mere 47 days? Well, that's easy...33 businesses that pulled together as a team. It's not every day that you get a mass group of vendors to pull together in such a short amount of time, at their own cost, and bring together someone's vision. But this group did it like rockstars. This is why you work with professionals!
Planning a Colorful Event in Dallas
When we reached out about planning The Mason Dallas' July open house, we honestly didn't know that we were signing in to plan the entire event, AND a styled shoot. But after we got all the details, we knew we were in! The Mason didn't want a traditional open house, they wanted something with a "wow" factor. A type of open house that hadn't been done to death. We've all been to open houses and trade shows where the vendors stand behind their 6' tables and handout business cards and brochures, and welp, that wasn't going to happen under our watchful eye. Plan It With Me thrives on communication, deadlines, creating memorable events, and when we get to play with bold color, we can't get started fast enough.
Our Plan It With Me team quickly went to work laying out the overarching theme for the event, the color palette, mood board, marketing and branding, and curating a hand-picked group of vendors to participate. Almost immediately, we were clocking in 12-14 hour days on the phone with some of our favorite sponsor vendors to pitch the event, and see who was in. Overwhelmingly almost everyone signed in and before we knew it, we were out of space. We actually even turned away a few because there wasn't any room left for additional interactions or set-up. This was a fantastic problem to have, so that meant game on. Time to ensure the guests had a unique experience, and that the vendors had an opportunity to really showcase their services and products. What better way to sell a service than to interactively show a potential client what their experience will feel like. After all, we all remember how we "feel" after an event. And that was the goal, to create a unique experience that left guests energized, happy and with those creative juices flowing. Ohhh the options....
Our Texas Event Sponsors: The full team that brought it all together!
Before we get too far, let's give credit where credit is due. From live art, to silk and real florals, a lighted LED dance floor, to cocktails and culinary delights, and more, each vendor played a crucial role in making our open house a resounding success!
