Spectra Event Group - Driver / Warehouse Personnel Application
⭐NEW PRODUCT ALERT⭐
Exclusively available for rent at Spectra Event Group, our 5-foot tall high-gloss nutcracker is the conversation piece of the season! This classic and well-loved symbol of Christmas is a must-have for your holiday party décor.
Did you know that, according to German folklore, nutcrackers were given as keepsakes to bring good luck to your family and protect your home? The legend says that a nutcracker represents power and strength and serves like a trusty watch dog guarding your family from evil spirits and danger.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Our team here at Spectra is in full Christmas mode and we are obsessed with this opulent design for the holiday season.
While the lighting in this spaces hints at seasonal changes and cooler temperatures, a deep colour palette creates a warming effect in this space.
Using candles to create a warm ambiance, pinecones and birch accents pair nicely together for an earthy tone in this centerpiece design.
Lanterns are a quick and easy way to build seasonal centerpieces. Fill them with items such as leaves or pinecones for an ode to Autumn.

Available in a variety of colours and sizes, our crushed velvet drape is an excellent choice when wishing to cover the perimeter of an event space or create temporary divisions within a space.

Our surroundings have the power to influence our perception, and with carefully curated design choices can evoke an array of reactions. What do you feel when you look at this striking image?
Contrast: the state of being strikingly different from something else in juxtaposition or close association. If ever there were a picture suited to this description, it would be this. Hot vs cold, red vs white, fire vs ice. We love the kind of intense reaction a design like this can evoke.
