Las Vegas-based White Bounce House designed a stunning balloon backdrop for this birthday party cake display. Matching the color scheme to that of the tiered desserts, while also incorporating greenery and butterfly imagery, created a bright atmosphere at venue Serendipity Events. The event was a joint birthday for the client’s mother and daughter, so the goal was to make the display cute but also elegant.

Creative collective Display Group began with a mood board to curate this glamorous, Hollywood-inspired event. After laying out the space, the team worked on sketching out ideas for elements to incorporate in the space like marquee letters, large stars, tinsel chandeliers, and more. To lean into the theme of “Golden Age” Hollywood, Display Group focused on highlighting architectural elements of the space by creating eye-catching displays throughout.
