We Are Very Proud Of Our Draping Department.. Proud Supplier Of The G8 And G20 Events In Toronto And Muskoka




We finally received some pictures of our spectacular draping decor for the G8 and G20 Summits held in Toronto and Muskoka. It was of course an honour to be selected as the supplier of choice for all the draping design for both events. While we have had the opportunity to work on some impressive high profile events in the past, working on this project came with its expected challenges. Preparations started months before the event with multiple lengthy, and thorough security screenings for each staff member. Logistically, certain protocol had to be followed for the execution of all the decor. This event was a rewarding experience... To knowingly have a hand in the decor that surrounded the leaders of our world was to say the least, a thrilling experience for which we are very thankful! Now take a minute and see if you can find some pretty important decision makers in the pictures!

It Might Not Be A Wedding, But This Event Decor Was All Cowboy Chic!







Whether it is for a wedding or an event, decor plays an important role in setting the overall vibe and atmosphere. Rachel A. Clingen Wedding And Event Design had the exciting opportunity to decorate and create the mood for the Ontario Barrel Racing Association's annual banquet/awards dinner held in Woodstock just west of Toronto. The corporate colours for the organization are red and black so the colour choice for the evening decor was an easy decision. After consulting with some of the directors of the organization (ok, I will admit that I am 'pretty good' friends with the President..lol), Rachel chose a very 'chic' look for the decor rather then the typical western motif. Cowboys and Cowgirls from all over Ontario came in there best duds and enjoyed an evening together with scrumptious food great entertainment and fabulous decor!

Homes In Toronto And Caledon Get Ready For The Holidays... With A Little Help From Rachel A. Clingen

As the Christmas season nears, many people long for that warm cozy holiday glow when they arrive home from a busy day at work. To some, putting up the Christmas tree is more stressful then it is worth.. I mean, just the thought of untangling the huge ball of lights from last year is enough to make some skip the the whole christmas decor and tree tradition! Others struggle to find enough time to take out and dust off the twenty year old centrepiece. Somehow though, it always seems to make its way to the dining room table in a last ditch effort to create some Christmas cheer. Still others enjoy listening to carols as they decorate the staircase but long for that designed or store front look. Rachel A. Clingen Seasonal Design in both Toronto and Caledon assists in the many decorating dilemas that people find themselves in this time of year. The studio just north of Bolton, offers custom and ready made seasonal centrepieces, garlands, wreaths and home accents. In addition we also offer seasonal home design, consultation and installations. The studio also boasts a comprehensive portfolio of holiday decor and floral for Christmas parties and private dinners. To book you consultation call us at 905 763 7700 or visit our studio in Caledon.







Caledon Seasonal And Christmas Decor.. Kidzz Store Gets A New Look!







Rachel A. Clingen had the fun and exciting opportunity to give the Kidzz store in Bolton a new look with some fresh funky decor just in time for the Christmas and the holiday season. Parissa, the owner of the store consulted with Rachel to give the store a new boutique feel. The draping team at Rachel A. Clingen did a fabulous job lining the entire store with fabric. Kidzz specializes in brand name kids clothing and so the decor elements had to be whimsical and fun. Nothing to traditional. So when it came to doing the Christmas displays, purple and silver balls were the core items for the window decor. Winter white branches, glittery snowflakes, silver and purple balls and even some feathers were used for the store front display. A matching wreath finish the decor and welcome Caledon shoppers as they enter the chic little shop.
