Discovering a "pretty problem" with events

As you get to know me you'll find that I really do believe everything happens for a reason and even the most difficult situations have a valuable purpose.  Going through this experience taught me few more incredible lessons too.  You see, during my own wedding planning I noticed something that was really strange to me.  I rarely saw any real "Art & Design" principles being use in the wedding design process.  I've been working in the arts for as long as I can remember and it seemed that from design budget management to production schedules to installation logistics, there were huge gasps of practical information.  And of course this bothered me.  I could only imagine the thousands of exhausted Mothers hiking up their beautiful gowns to climb ladders or spending un-necessary hours handling items they'll never use again instead of happily floating home in the joyous glow of their son or daughter's special day.

Here's what you'll see a lot of.  You'll see craft store with lots of party or wedding products, blogs on tips & trends, and a tons of online inspiration.  Here's what I didn't see.  Actual, professional design industry techniques or that tapped into a process that would cohesively bring things together.  It's usually one of two things. First is the "copy & pastes" approach.  You know, start gathering or pinning a bunch of pretty pics that may or may not be in the same color scheme because they "like the look of..."   Of course, there's the other way which is more often then not it was just buy, orderings or even renting a bunch of random pretty things that may fit a general idea.

What could I do about it?

Now, as an artist I love the idea of self expression.  Of taking what you like about something you've seen before and making it your own. Where's the solution for those who wanted to show their own uniqueness or be the designs other people would want to copy?  

I wanted to incorporate these techniques to create breathtaking cohesive vision and artistic masterpieces my clients could actually experience.  As for my goals, well, I know I'm not the best fit for everyone and honestly, I'm ok with that.  I really want everyone to find their perfect match for them, even if it's not with me.  After all, if you find the right fit for you then that opens the door for me connect with person I'm meant to work with.  As a result, I have the most amazing clients and my clients love my artistic approach, personalized style, and really curating their experience around them. 

Neither of us are interested just "copying & pasting"  and creating "cookie-cutter" designs.   I love to guide them through maximizing the look for their investment to "WOW" their guests and I love helping them orchestrate their unforgettable event or stunningly creative project seamlessly.  It's about taking their preferences, style, what inspires them, or event their personal brand to tell their story.
