Cityline Prom Special – Grad Party Ideas

Apr 9, 2018 | Blog, Cityline

It’s always a party on Cityline! I had a blast helping Cityline with their Prom Special, sharing grad party ideas and designing the studio look. See below for photos from the segment, captured by Mango Studios. Watch it online here!

Special thanks to my friends at Daniel et Daniel, Ettridges, Love Lettering, Weddingstar and The Nail and Champagne Bar for contributing to the tablescape, and Toronto designer, By Catalfo, for my custom made jumpsuit! Keep reading for some of the fun ideas I brought to the segment.

What’s a party without balloons?

No party is complete without balloons, and we asked Ettridges to create something larger than life for this grad party theme. She not only created a beautiful balloon spill for behind the table, but created fun balloon installations all around the studio. It makes for a great photo opp or sweets table backdrop.

Play with your food

Daniel et Daniel created fun and inspiring canapes that would be perfect for a grad party, including grad school fajitas and petit fours, cookie dough truffle cones and milkshake and donuts. I especially love the custom glassware and gold foiled plates and napkins from Weddingstar.

Disposable plates have come a long way! Love these ones available at Weddingstar.

Selfie props are a necessity

Love Lettering created custom Pose Cards for the occasion that we used in the photobooth, and also as mini decor for the food.

Add pops of colour in your flowers and decor

Every party needs a bit of colour, and I added pops of fuschia and pink with flowers from Delight Floral Design, with geo shapes from Weddingstar.

Confetti makes any party better

I wasn’t able to pop these during the segment, but I definitely made use of these confetti poppers from Weddingstar outside! Confetti always makes for a fun photo. Also how awesome are my nails?? I got them done to match the flowers, done by The Nail and Champagne Bar.
