Designing anything can be overwhelming. Even as a wedding designer, I sometimes find it difficult to conceptualize how I want my decor to be. Tools like Instagram, Pinterest, Google, blogs, and magazines are helpful. However, when envisioning your wedding, you must consider all the different factors: type of venue, photographer, atmosphere, dress code, budget, and season you are in. Truthfully, I have a love-hate relationship with these sites. As much as I welcome the inspiration, and honestly, too much of anything can cause your head to spin. However, using them to dive into the process is very beneficial.

It is no secret that designing anything is a lot of fun, but can also be overwhelming. Whether it is a house, a kitchen, a bathroom, or in our case events and weddings there are many options to explore. I remember when I was starting out, I would get excited about the overall theme but then anxious about the tiny details. I find breaking the design down and looking at it as a colorful but intricate puzzle allows the thought process of the plan to be molded and formed. The truth is, none of us are looking to recreate something we have already done, or copy someone else’s work. Where is the fun in that? What we are trying to do is figure out what the client loves, explore certain details that grab their attention, and turn that into something that is comprehensive, intended, and personal.

I know we are all in agreement that 2020 is not looking like we all imagined. In the span of 4 months, we have postponed 6 of the 8 events left on our calendar. We are truly missing being onsite and producing. #WishIWasThere

We cannot express enough how very thankful we are to our clients. It has been incredibly difficult to explain all the changes that must occur for things to be “safe”. Instead of talking fun details, we have become the “buzz kill” or at least that is how it has felt. However, instead of getting upset, our clients have responded with grace and thankfulness. How did we get so lucky!
We are incredibly grateful that we have signed on a few new clients for next year given the uneasiness. Typically we only take on 10 events. Given the circumstances, we are expanding that to 12 which leaves us with 3 openings.
Lastly, the current climate has made us all a little jumpy. We are not ready to be around big groups of people, which is hard considering our role in events. Given our concerns we have made the very hard decision to call 2020 what it is. We will not be taking on any new clients for the 2020 season, and instead we will focus solely current clients and welcoming new 2021 clients.
Thank you to all our clients, vendors, and community that have always shown us so much support! We are so grateful for everything over the past few years and look forward to your continued support.
Xoxo
