WEDDING WELCOME

Welcome to Kaleidoscope Creations. We’re glad you’re here.

Let us guess. You believe your wedding is about far more than just you. It’s about family and friends and without them, your celebration just wouldn’t be the same. You figure the least you can do is to greet them with a gift as meaningful as they are. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place!

You won’t find us carelessly shoving water bottles and Advil in a bag and calling it a day. We believe gifting is an art form but as much as it’s our job to create gorgeous gifts to thoughtfully welcome your guests to town, it’s equally our mission to give you a stress-free experience where you don’t lift a finger from start to finish.

We really do value our clients as much as you do your guests!

A CASE STUDY

Classic DC Wedding with Washington Nationals Flair

Client:

Hirtle & Callaghan

Planning/Event Design:

Howerton & Wooten

objective: 

Hirtle & Callaghan came to us with a challenge. They had a large-scale client event in Arizona rapidly approaching in January that would require welcome gifts and the same time, they also needed to send holiday gifts to this very same client list. When we heard this, we knew that we would have to think outside of the box and come up with custom gifts that would pull double duty!

approach:

With these two distinct objectives in mind, we decided that rather than gifting attendees at the actual event, we would send ‘Arizona Awaits’ themed gifts directly to the recipients ahead of the event to drum up interest and excitement and hopefully result in higher attendance. To satisfy the need for holiday gifts, we made sure to also include holiday language in the paper products and to schedule the gifts’ delivery for the weeks leading up to the New Year. To achieve the Arizona look and feel, we included a modern spin on cactus cookies, locally-sourced Arizona tortilla chips and salsa as well as large succulents as a nod to the desert. We finished off the gifts with a custom note on the inside and raw edge merlot ribbon on a ‘happy holidays’ gift tag on the outside.

from the client:

“This project was like a jigsaw puzzle in the sense that we had to juggle multiple objectives, some of which seemed counter-intuitive to one another. Holiday gifts that couldn’t seem “too holiday” since they had a business objective in mind. Corporate event gifts that needed to achieve a business objective while still being “holiday enough”. And, not to mention, managing the shipping 800 live succulents within 800 gift boxes. This project was a challenge but incredibly rewarding to see it all come together. A perfect balance between holiday and corporate event, allowing the client to accomplish two goals for the investment of one.”
