Planning Decor for Your Event
In the past 30 years I have helped hundreds of brides and corporate clients plan and design the decor for their events. During this time I have been the lucky Event Planner that gets to participate in the celebrations of some of life’s greatest milestones. Weddings, Birthdays, Memorial Services, Anniversaries, Corporate Galas, or a party to honor a special achievement, each and every one a special occasion and a cause for celebration. Staging and decoration these events is an art form. In essence, you don’t plan a party as much as you design it with the venue as your stage. This room becomes the canvas on which you will apply your ideas and vision. Experience has taught me to trust my instincts, to conceptualize, then design the event. Start with a color palette, choose the room layout, select the size tables or cocktail furnishings, choose the linens, flowers and design elements. Compliment everything with the most overlooked element, lighting. Then when you select the menu it will be the last element that ties the decor together. Choose the caterer carefully and make sure that the one you select is not only wonderful with the food but also comfortable with tablescapes that compliment the menu and pull everything together for a spectacular event design that will inspire all that attend.
