The purple 'red carpet'

The event, held April 30 at the company headquarters, featured Decor and More's own version of the red carpet--here in gorgeous purple, from Reznick Carpets.

Company timeline

A full scale summary of Decor and More's history is captured on an oversized timeline, highlighting some of the biggest moments of the company.

Little Bo Peep in floral

Stunning custom floral work created a full-length gown in various shades of purple--a take on Little Bo Peep, including five whimsically painted sheep in tow. 

Streets of Toronto

The warehouse was transformed into an upscale 'Streets of Toronto,' one of Decor and More’s signature installs, with each aisle representing a different district of the city. 'Chinatown' is showcased with an abundance of purple lanterns strung overhead as well as other Asian-inspired elements at food stations or tucked into lounges. 

Colorful candy table

Inspired by the event's colors, Candy By Katie offers a purple- and silver-infused sweets table.

Fine food from Presidential Gourmet

Presidential Gourmet offers a selection of food both passed and on thematic stations tucked throughout the warehouse. Food ranged from tacos and steamed buns to mini pies, a cookies and milk station, and liquid nitrogen ice cream.

'Distillery District'

An alternate take on Toronto’s Distillery District. Decor and More used elements from its Restoration Hardware line and infused them with purples and honeycomb chairs from Detailz Chair Couture. A special taco station was set to pay homage to Distillery’s famed El Catrin.

Gilded Live

Entertainment for the evening was sourced and donated by The Idea Hunter and showcased Gilded Live, who created a beautiful piece of artwork given to Leslee post-event.
