🧼 THE DWAYNE KEITH PROJECT 🧼 The night we made bubbles sexy.

So thankful to my good friend for being the first person to hire me for a stage design. I had done this before with , and after seeing what I did, Dwayne decided he wanted me for this special show he was curating at .

Dwayne wanted bubbles, so that's what we did! I absolutely am obsessed with the way the design turned out and how magical it made the evening. 💚

I am happy to announce that stage design for musical performances is something I am now offering as a regular service. DM me if you want to plan your next show with a look that will stand out and reflect your artistic personality. The quality it adds to a live show means your audience will go home with memories that will last. 🪄

Huge shout-out to for capturing the night so perfectly. This is likely going to be a two part post because all of the photos are so incredible! Keep an eye 👀 out for some planned collaboration we are working on...it's going to be sick!

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I posted but there have been some developments happening that I wanted to get on top of. I am so excited because even though this started as a stylized picnic company, my plan was always for it to evolve into event planning in general. I have been pleasantly surprised at how quickly and organically that evolution happened this summer. For some reason, you all saw my picnics and thought "she can do more!" and the opportunities I have bad to plan bigger events this summer has been awesome! 💚💚💚

So here's some info I want you all to know...

1. I am transitioning away from the "three at a time" posting. Idk if you even noticed it but I was posting in threes since I started this account. It was a nice challenge and it really forced me to grow this account quickly which I love. With the new events I'm planning now though, I want to leave room to advertise some public offerings and I think it's better outside of the format I'm doing now. 💃🏻

2. I am still offering picnics throughout the fall and I have some cold weather solutions I will be sharing over the next week or so! You can book via the "Book Now" button in my bio or go to the link. 🪄

3. The next couple weeks I will be updating the website to showcase the new offerings I have including stage design, party design and event planning. I am so stoked for you to have more to choose from, especially as we go into winter and picnics become difficult! ❄️

4. I'm getting a studio! So excited, but I have started the application process for a beautiful studio in Hartford where I will be able to store all of my beautiful items I use for picnics and events. This will allow more customization to happen as you can come and tour my studio and view all of the lovely fabrics, plateware, glassware, pillows, etc. and choose what you want! Fingers crossed I get approved. 🤞🏻

Like I said, big things are happening and I am so thankful to everyone who has trusted me with their events and their picnics this summer. For the first 9 months of business, I could not have asked for more! 💚🌱

A big THANK YOU to and for the thoughtfully and beautifully written article about The Picnic Project and other local picnic provider . Head to the link in our bio to read the whole article! 💚🌱

"The Picnic Project aims to plan small gatherings in style, on a budget, and with a local feel unlike any other. Enders personally selects every aspect of what goes into each set up. The dishware, some collected over years and some newly acquired, is all secondhand, vintage, and/or selected from thrift stores. There is an undeniable attention to aesthetics within each setup.

When discussing what makes her business stand out from others, Enders brings up her local small business partners. She feels that the pandemic has brought out some incredible talents in many dedicated people, and knows the value of utilizing small businesses as opposed to corporate partners." 🥀🪄

I think my favorite thing about 🥀 T H E C O U P L E S C L A S S I C 🥀 is the black and white details upgrading the classic red and white checkered blankets and wicker accents. It's romantic and subtle and the perfect setting for you and your lover. 💚🌱
