Sometimes inspiration surprises you, popping out of the most unexpected venues. Such was the case when the boyfriend and I attended our company’s annual holiday party, thrown at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum.
These massive black-tie parties have always been fabulous in the past, but never before incorporated such modern decor as I saw this year. This glowing red scene greeted us as we walked in:
Small tables of food sitting beneath the NASA Space Shuttle looked incredibly festive with towering, massive displays of hot pink ostrich feathers. I never would have thought either the color or the feather could be striking, but the combination of the two proved to be quite striking in the dimly lit museum.
As I mentioned last week, I looove almost any decor that incorporates sticks or branches, especially glittery ones. Thus was the case with this fabulous, glittery arrangement on a dessert table:
These red sticks were pretty awesome amidst the red leather couches and red lighting, and I definitely dug the cylindrical and minimalistic table bases:
All in all, I think I liked the decor even more than the food this year! What do you think? Too crazy and flamboyant for you?

PLEASE tell me you stole one of those giant pink feathered center pieces????
