Impulse! & Elements of Flavor

As we all know this industry is about building relationships. In fact, our team believes in first building the relationship, then the business. With that said, we are always on the prowl for industry events to get involved in, wether its aiding a partner, publication or particular association. 

This week we had the pleasure of joining forces with Jamie Oristano and his team at Impulse! Specialty Event Products Sizzling Summer Showcase. Based in Deerfield Beach, Impulse! manufactures a full range of glassware, porcelain, bar-ware, votives, melamine & polycarbonate, and buffet and tabletop accessories to the special event and hospitality industries. 

Here are some of our favorites from their collections...

You name it, they've got it! We had so much fun designing and styling our Flavor Bar using all of their speciality products. It was like Crate & Barrel meets Andy Warhol! We presented our Elements of Flavor Tasting Bar across two days for close to 200 guests. Our food and their products are the perfect marriage. See below.

A big thank you to Jamie and his awesome team! We appreciate the opportunity and the chance to play with all your awesome inventory.

Next week it's all about the brides, as we roll out our speciality desserts and signature cocktails and the Brides in the City event. Presented by Grande Affairs, the event will welcome more than 300 brides-to-be to the Intercontinental Downtown Miami. Stop by our lounge sponsored by Rick and his amazing team at Elements & Accents for a sweet treat and then make your way to myspa for a liquid libation like no other!
