Elegant Winter Gala for the AACWP

The American Association of Certified Wedding Planners, known as the AACWP, is a professional organization dedicated to supporting and educating wedding planners across the industry. Each year, the AACWP hosts an annual holiday party to bring its members together in celebration. This year’s event, AACWP Celebrate, took place at the beautiful Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. We were honored to support the celebration as a sponsor, providing custom event stationery and signage designed to complement the overall vision of the night. If you’re planning a winter event, you won’t want to miss this stunning inspiration!

Event Inspiration and Design Direction

Lisa Yarbro, Vice President and Secretary of the AACWP, planned this year’s holiday party. She is based in Dallas and Fort Worth, and known for creating experiences that feel polished, cohesive, and intentional. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Lisa has planned hundreds of weddings and events. She knows exactly what it takes to create a seamless and unforgettable celebration! 

For this year’s holiday celebration, Lisa envisioned a winter-forward palette of icy blues and soft whites. Delicate snowflake details and elegant seasonal accents carried that vision throughout the space. Draped linens, cool-toned florals, sculptural elements, and soft lighting created a setting that felt thoughtfully styled through the evening’s gathering spaces.

Event Stationery Designed for AACWP Celebrate

We were honored to design custom stationery to support both the flow and visual identity of the celebration. We created each piece to align with the winter-inspired design and help inform guests during the event.

A light blue welcome sign greeted guests upon arrival, introducing the tone of the evening. The seating chart guided guests to their tables while tying the winter theme with delicate snowflakes. Menu cards were incorporated into the tablescape as an elegant finishing detail. We love how they complemented the surrounding design elements! Finally, a sponsor sign completed the collection, with sponsor logos featured in their very own snowflakes!

Together, these stationery details blended beautifully into the overall event design.

Everything came together beautifully for a lovely evening of celebration. The event reflected the hard work and collaboration of all of the sponsors who helped bring the night to life. Guests gathered, connected, and enjoyed a memorable night. From start to finish, the space was welcoming and thoughtfully prepared, creating an experience guests could truly enjoy. Take a look for yourself!

We are grateful to the AACWP for the opportunity to support Celebrate through custom event stationery and signage. Contributing to an event that highlights community, professionalism, and thoughtful design is always meaningful to us, and this elegant winter gala was a beautiful example of how intentional paper details can complement an elevated celebration.

If you’re planning a styled event, industry gathering, or brand celebration and need custom stationery that feels elevated and cohesive, we’d love to collaborate. Inquire with us to learn more about stationery design.
