Working in the wedding and events industry comes with quite a few perks: Being surrounded by wonderfully talented people, having great and gracious clients, and {hey, who am I kidding?!} getting to go to some pretty fabulous parties…
From intimate dinner parties to large scale blow-outs, our Merci New York staff has been lucky to enjoy the awe-inspiring talents of the best in the biz. Case in point? The amazing Colin Cowie’s recent “Welcome to NYC Party” for Kim Kardashian and her new hubby Kris Humphries at Capitale …
While digging into my notes for some light Friday afternoon content, a light bulb went off in my head. Why not share these amazing events with readers?! While we all don’t have a budget as big as Kim’s, aren’t these amazing {and often over the top} festivities some of the best event eye candy out there? Check out how Colin had Capitale hopping last Wednesday… {Needless to say, Thursday was a bit of a rough day at the office}.
Capitale glowed with excitement, as police blocked off the sidewalks so guests could enter the venue…
Colin once told me he loves to design events with tactile details. Case in point? This grand fringe curtain and beaded center arrangement.
Dramatic event lighting showed off the venue’s geometric rotunda and the striking nature of the space…
The invite promised us of “A Night of Style and Glamour”… Colin delivered by decorating the space with posh mirrored and metallic lounge furniture, accented with white floral arrangements.
The party was co-hosted by Jason Binn , CEO and founder of Niche Media .
Kim and crew were greeted on a black and white striped runway to a buzz of excited press.
The party began with an amazing DJ set and continued with a slew of entertaining surprises… 
…like this scantily clad {but oh-so-amazing!} musician who played alongside some hot hip hop mixes.
Kim, Kris, Colin and crew welcome the crowd to the party….
The Kardashians pose for pics… Check out that cake!
… And the crowd takes to the stage with a whole new set of drums… 
The surprises didn’t stop there… soon after an aerialist wowed us with some acrobatic feats…
And like all fabulous parties, it continued well into the evening…
So what do you think?! Who’s hiring Colin Cowie for their next party?
