The moment we’ve all been waiting for…✨

Today marks 24 years since Carolyn Dempsey Design was born in a garage in Greenwich, Connecticut. Your love & loyalty led us through three office spaces, five warehouses, and three cities we called home.

As our brand has evolved through time and space, it felt overwhelmingly overdue for a facelift.

When thinking about our journey we noticed something.
It was one constant, everlasting feeling through it all:
MAGIC.

We know… the word feels mysterious and supernatural – but it’s not.

It’s quite simple, actually.

We believe that MAGIC is DESIRE in ACTION.

A vision that’s come to life; transforming space into spectacle. That’s what we do, and will continue to.

We hope you explore our new & improved identity.
You’ve shared your most milestone moments with us &
We are grateful for every creative endeavor over the last 24 years.

CHEERS to the magic that’s yet to come! 🪄

On Island Time 🏝️

Abi & Felicia celebrated their B’Not Mitzvah with a tropical floral-filled escape! Carolyn gave this beach theme jaw-dropping elegance. At the entrance, guests were greeted by their gold starfish es**rt cards, followed by a seaside cocktail at the grand “Sand Bar”. A unique contrast of coastal elements and florals dressed the dining tables, complimented with a killer “ocean view”. Everything was set for a day in the sunshine to celebrate these beautiful birthday girls.

Peace Out ✌🏻

Sky blue to cobalt, Kate’s Bat Mitzvah design lived in every shade between. Blue florals, blue sofas, blue charger plates — you name it. Double dutch hand dyed tulips flooded the table tops while blue uplights and silver mirror custom built tables projected its rich tones to every angle of the room. Kate’s lounge featured a custom built rectangular arch to hover over her friends as they celebrated her. 💙

What better way to celebrate a 60th Anniversary than a 60’s throwback theme party!? Hippie hues consumed the room with funky florals, lava lamps, retro couches, glow coffee tables and a custom built VW Volkswagen bus. Guests danced into a different decade on a 3D LED Infinity Dance Floor to the vibes of a 60’s live band!🕺

Carolyn had the pleasure of designing an iconic New York wedding for the sweetest LA couple. Guastavino’s made for the perfect canvas with it’s timeless old-world charm and architecture, with floor to ceiling windows for the ultimate evening ambiance. All of their details were distinctly New York: classic, sophisticated & chic. Modern and pure white florals at every glance, from the statement chuppah to the stunning tableau designs. Safe to say Kaeleigh & Andy left with enough love for a lifetime… or two. 🖤

Pink Petal Dreams 🌸

Taylor’s Bat Mitzvah was passionate with PINK!
These custom tables go down in CDD history — clear lucite acrylic tables were filled to the brim with over 147,500 ombre pink petals. With such a beautiful display, Regina’s tableau decor was kept simple with clear glass candles at various heights to create the perfect ambient glow at night. Taylor’s friends loved the stadium seating for the montage views, and glowing cubes illuminated around the dance floor for party breaks!

Down the Rabbit Hole🌷

We’re all MAD about Hattie’s Alice in Wonderland inspired Bat Mitzvah at the Williamsburg Hotel. Carolyn created a complete garden oasis with cherry trees and romantic florals everywhere you look. Custom rose gold dining tables were dressed with textured vases and subtle themed accents. The focal point of the room was a boxwood and gold lattice bar front with cascading florals.
Guests sat in awe on our cozy velvet lounge. A true fairytale.
