Gabriela’s Globally Inspired Bat Mitzvah at VisArts in Rockville

I had a blast working Gabriela’s family for her globally inspired travel-themed Bat Mitzvah party at VisArts in Rockville. Her family wanted a rustic, vintage look that still felt fresh and feminine. Gabriela loves books and loves to travel, so we worked with DaVinci to combine everything into one incredible look. Not only did VisArts look amazing, but the family and their guests arrived ready to party. If you want even more images of the special day, check out the full portfolio.

For her candle lighting, Gabriela used Moroccan-style lanterns.

The evening finished up with lots of treats to feed Gabriela’s sweet tooth including make your own s’mores. Delish!

It was a pleasure to work with this family for Gabriela’s Bat Mitzvah party and they were pretty happy too:

“Brynne made this process feel very manageable and methodical.  She was also never stressed out and rolled with many of our crazy questions and ideas in a very patient and open-minded way.   She was ready to work with any eventuality that came up. We had some last minute switches on the day of the event and she was unflappable with letting us know she would take care of things. I could really enjoy the party because I knew Brynne had everything under control.”
– Gabriela’s Mom

Thanks to the awesome vendors who helped make it happen and mazel tov to Gabriela and her family!
