Trend update: Arabian theme resources available

Traditional event themes may be too cheesy or boring for today’s clients, but the hottest themes are gaining in popularity. Harness the glitter of Arabian nights or the heat of desert days for your adventurous clients. A new site, www.moroccanthemeparties.com, offers the Dallas event industry everything from Moroccan tents to professional belly dancers. Miami’s Berber Events (www.berberevents.com) specializes in Moroccan and Arabian themes, as well as Passage to India and African Safari parties. In Brazil, event coordinators can turn to Abdu Especialidades Arabes (www.abdu.com.br) to set up complete, custom Arabian parties, with authentic food and entertainment. Those with a taste for Middle-Eastern goodies in the UK might want to visit www.jniservices.co.uk or www.haremnights.co.uk. To heat up a rental inventory, try some authentic hookahs, lamps and furniture. Linens and liners that shimmer with gold, purple and deep red will complement any tented Arabian party, and putting your clients in touch with a bona fide caterer could provide the finishing touch.
