An ‘Artsy’ Bat Mitzvah Celebration

Andres Ruff, a popular graphic design and party styling firm from Charlotte, North Carolina, was recently asked to create party designs for an Art themed Bat Mitzvah. Stylists, Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff worked alongside party planner Bridget Gasque of Loftus Design for a creative collaboration.  Extra special touches included art work done by the Bat Mitzvah girl herself.

The venue was the Foundation For The Carolinas in Charlotte, North Carolina. The photographer was Emily Lapish. Check out all the great details below:

Seating/Table Names

As guests entered the venue, they found this seating chart. Each table was named for a famous artist and featured a replica of their work created by the Bat Mitzvah girl

Table 1 was for Warhol

Table 2 was the Matisse table

Decor Details

The venue is a contemporary art gallery with high white ceilings

At each place setting there was a miniature art canvas on an easel with each guests' name. Notice the tin of mints with the initial "E"

Coral, pink, and green were the colors for this party

There were alternating centerpieces. This one was filled with tropical flowers in a colorful vase

Sign-In/Food/Drink Signage

A picture of the Bat Mitzvah girl painting served as the sign-in board

The food was displayed creatively; here's salad in a mini fish bowl

The food buffet displayed art elements that were colorful and creative

'Emily's Artsy Lemonade' looked refreshing and was styled beautifully

Cake and Candle Lighting

The splatter-paint cake had a topper made out of "sugar work" formed into an "E" for Emily's monogram

The Bat Mitzvah girl lit a floating votive candle for each special guest. The vase also held a single colorful flower

Emily lit the candle with her parents Jaques and Sherry by her side

We thank Anders Ruff for sharing this wonderful Bat Mitzvah with our readers.
