Event designer DeJuan Stroud is known for staging elegant weddings, movie premieres and celebrity soirées; his clients have included singer Jon Bon Jovi, CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He and his wife Debra are co-authors of Designing Life’s Celebrations, published this April by Rizzoli. And when it comes to getting ideas, Stroud is never off duty. A 2005 trip he took to Morocco inspired the decor for a 14-person dinner party he threw not long ago in his 1906 stone carriage house.
