Extreme Sports!

A client wanted an event that was extreme.

So we created an Extreme Sport themed event complete with tiny little adreneline junkies!

Americana

If you need some decor items for a patriotic themed event, we have what you need. From a Statue of Liberty to Mt. Rushmore to an astronaut, our selection of Americana themed props and decor will add just the right touch.

A Pop of Color

A simple, inexpensive way to add a bit of color to your upcoming event is to use extra large helium balloons. Floating overhead they add visual intrest that is easy to install and will put a smile on guests faces!

Behind the Scenes

Whenever a client has a request for custom work, everyone here at FFE Texas gets excited. We love seeing what our talented staff can bring to life right before our eyes. From custom artwork and centerpieces to furniture...our artists can make it happen.

When Steve Kemble came to us with his vision for the Winspear Opera House Gala, our team immediately got to work sketching and putting a plan together to build over 50 of those beautiful tables.

Here's a behind the scenes look at the process from start to finish.

Winspear Opera House

On October 23, 2009, The Winspear Opera House had its grand opening performance and added its mark to the growing Dallas Arts District. This beautiful building was made possible in part by a very generous donation by Margot and Bill Winspear and many others. To pay homage to their generosity The Onstage Gala was held on November 7, 2009.

FFE Texas had the honor of providing the decor for the gala. Not only did we provide lighting and seating, we also custom built over 50 beautiful glass and wood tables specifically for the event.

The event was a wonderful tribute to the chartible giving of the donors and a great compliment to the beauty of the building itself.

The Winspear Opera House is a magnificent addition to the Dallas Art District and to the City of Dallas. To find out more about upcoming performances and events head to the Dallas Opera's website.
