Keeping the Theme

So as I realized blogging is much harder than it sounds, I also realized that putting my ideas about events in words is a challenging task. Since I was younger I found a passion for detail, creativeness, originality and helping other people see and create their visions. I found that event planning was a great way to combine all of my passions  into one position. I want to share my passion with you through this blog but I also want to stress the importance of creating an event that is original and illustrates you and only you. 

In order to create this perfect event of yours you need to make a list of these dreams and visions that you'd like your guests to experience and see, then together intertwine all the different parts to create an event that can only be made for you.  

Your first thought in creating your event will not be on the seating placement, but it is still a good place to display and intertwine your theme to create a graceful event.

Questions you might want to ask yourself is in order to brainstorm ideas for planning:

What is the theme?

Do you have a color scheme/preference?

Do you want seating assignments that are recyclable or ones that can be taken home by the guests?

What is the event for?

(If a wedding) is there something that represents your relationship with your partner? (from your first date under the stars to the moment you were proposed to in an apple field)

You want to capture the relationship between you and the event, the special memories and qualities between you and whatever it may be that the event is for, and find a way to share it with your guests. One way of doing this is by seating arrangements.

Here is just ONE of the many examples of a creative way to have your guests find their seats at any event, these flowers are made from Styrofoam, fabric and adhesive tape. Your guests can take them home with them at the end of the event which is a great creative way to have your guests remember a great day.

Again this is just one idea and as I continue to blog I won't be writing as much but showing other ideas to make your event memorable and capture the essence of your dreams and visions for your special day.

You Have to Start Somewhere

As my last year of college quickly approaches it is only right to panic about my future, just as well as all of the thousands of other soon-to-be college graduates. Creating a blog was recommended to me by multiple professors and professionals to help get my ideas out to the ever growing and competitive working field, but as I thought of the idea of pouring my feelings out to the world via internet I was skeptical. The one thing I realized I wasn't skeptical about was the passion and desire I have to be an event planner. Event planning involves the combination of detail, hard-work, persistency, determination, design, communication and business and is exactly everything I enjoy. Most importantly being an event planner isn't just about what I love to do, but what I can do for others who want to create a perfect event for themselves. Creating an event isn't just about the basics of a who, what, when, and where; it is about the tiniest detail that make the event memorable and perfect for you, an event that helps to capture your personality and share your vision (that we all know you thought about for years) with others. As corny as it all sounds, event planning to me is about getting those little details right; from color, scent, decor, lighting, wording of invitations and the little details of typography. All these little things make the event "yours," the clients. These details create the whole feel, the perfect environment and allow it to never be duplicated because those little details create the beauty of each individual event.

I hope to share my enthusiasm about event planning through this blog; from showing my own ideas of little details that can go a long way, as well as facts and information to create the perfect event.

After all it's the little details that create the flow and beauty of an event.
