Well, when I was coming up with the concept, I was thinking it would be a great way to show the general public what it is we event designer/planners do.
Now, some would say that it is just stressful because of performing in front of an audience under a time constraint. However, when you think about it, that is what we do for a living. We design / plan for an audience (guests of the event) under a time constraint (sometimes we are only given a couple of hours to set an entire event).
The designers will find out what party rental items, flowers, food ingredients, beverage options and music selection when they are introduced right before the competition commences.
In other words, they can't really plan anything ahead. They have to come up with a design on the spot.
Last year, the designers came up with such drastically different designs from each other that it was rather shocking. Believe me, when I say deciding on a winner was not an easy task at all! The winning design from Todd of Bungalow 6 Design is below:
It was fun to hear feedback about the designs from the audience.I think that The Duel of The Design 2.0 promises to be filled with even more drama and surprises than the first duel.
General Admission is $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
VIP Seating is $30 in advance, $35 at the door. VIP tickets offer reserved seating and a Event Trend Runway Show Gift Bag (goodies, such as a CD from Warner Music Group, Jane Jenni pins, cookies and much more).
All the guests will have the opportunity to participate in some mini-competitions throughout the night for some great prizes.
I hope to see you there to join in the fun!
