Our production partners at Two Tree Events tapped Paladin Creative to handle the creative design for Billie Eilish’s 21st birthday. Our goal was to create a nostalgic, romantic, and intimate Christmas-themed event that allowed her A-list guests to feel relaxed, unintimidated, and able to simply be themselves. Billie asked for “authenticity to permeate her party, and to celebrate the things she loves most - joy, laughter, and fond memories.

Billie sent us old pictures of her childhood Christmas, and let us borrow a big box of family decor that the Eilish family uses every year. So, we based our designs around those pieces - blending cozy, idyllic alpine village, with 1990’s front-yard kitsch. We were inspired by traditional Christmas decor from German, Czech, and Belgian tradition, and used a classic color palette of gold, evergreen, candy red, and ivory.
We built six unique holiday scenic moments to solidify the world, including a fireplace mantle DJ booth, an evergreen entry tunnel, a Santa’s Sleigh photo-op, and a Bavarian-style Christmas market. The festivities ended as the clock struck midnight, and amongst the cheers of “happy birthday”, we created an indoor snow effect using pure white light and disco balls…all set to the chorus of “Christmastime” by The Smashing Pumpkins. In the days to follow, we were delighted to see media outlets and social media capturing what we hoped to give Billie that night - authenticity.
