I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…

The HOK Toronto studio celebrated the holidays in style – 50’s style to be more precise!
Even Bing Crosby was in attendance, looking slightly pale, but happy to pose for photos all the same.

The 8th floor studio was transformed into a beautiful soiree and staff dressed to the nines in their favourtite 50’s attire; from mad men to Bettie Page. One of the most beloved accessories was a pair of Ray-Banesque glasses that BJ Davis rocked! Eventually they were passed around and there began our photo montage!

The lovely event planners were not only creative in their transformation of an office space to a grand ballroom, but they also provided great entertainment! A talented 3 piece band serenaded guests by the bar, old Christmas movies danced on a large white wall and a 50’s themed photo booth, complete with props, was set-up to commemorate the evening!

Thank you to the event planning team who spent many of nights coordinating the Holiday party. Needless to say, it was a swell time!

Now that I’ve shown you a glimpse into how Toronto celebrates, its your turn!
