Victors has built a name for itself as a casual, vibrant, and upscale restaurant for regular dining and celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>Just over the way, Neighbourhood, Liverpool, was another setting to receive the \u2018Liz Taylor\u2019 treatment. \u00a0Known for its New York style dining, cool d\u00e9cor, and vibrant party atmosphere. All the venues are owned by the East Coast Concepts Limited, a client of mine for many years.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>THE CONCEPT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The usual process when presenting a concept to clients, is that I would outline a number of options with the client choosing their favourite to take forward, perhaps asking for refinements or to merge different ideas along the way. I always view consultations as a collaborative session, with ideas that morph and change as client and consultant come together. On this occasion, however, I never got past concept number one. It was love at first sight.<\/p>\n<p>If ever there\u2019s a time to go all out it\u2019s Christmas. One of the many lessons I\u2019ve learned over the years is that more, is most definitely more, at Christmas time.<\/p>\n<p>I pitched a gold, silver, bronze scheme which echoed the traditional baubles and bows of the season, but with a modern interpretation. The client loved it, and the only feedback was \u2018go bigger\u2019 so that\u2019s just what we did\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A CHRISTMAS LIKE NEVER BEFORE&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I engaged the help of long-term creative floral and d\u00e9cor partners Springbank, and we set to work on transforming the venues into the most fabulous festive scenes.<\/p>\n<p>Springbank is renowned for its dramatically decadent event dressing, so alongside my fabulous TLC event planners, I knew they had the right team for the job.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of baubles were arranged at the venues. We deliberately avoided trees \u2013 too predictable! Instead, we incorporated huge columns of baubles to create a magnificent welcome at each venue. Sumptuous, metallic, and contemporary.<\/p>\n<p>The colour scheme was kept classic, sticking to mixed metallic colourways of bronze, gold, and silver. Varying sizes and finishes on the baubles added to the visual interest.<\/p>\n<p>To take it even further at Victors in Hale we wrapped the entire building in a gold mirror bow and a sash of shimmering baubles and twinkling fairy lights. Christmas literally wrapped up.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a show stopping scene that has the public stopping in its tracks to admire, photograph and pose for selfies.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did we meet the client\u2019s brief but by understanding the brands we were working for and the fact that they attract the crowd that\u2019s not just looking for a venue, but for a selfie backdrop, we ensured that the festive d\u00e9cor has been snapped, saved, and shared hundreds of times on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Decorations are not just for Christmas they\u2019re for building audiences and brand awareness too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1832\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG-20211115-WA0005-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas \u2013 It\u2019s a Wrap!\" width=\"1004\" height=\"1338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG-20211115-WA0005-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG-20211115-WA0005-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG-20211115-WA0005-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG-20211115-WA0005-100x133.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG-20211115-WA0005-862x1149.jpg 862w, https:\/\/www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG-20211115-WA0005.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>THE CLIENT&#8217;S VERDICT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe were delighted with what Liz was able to achieve in such as short space of time.
