What a Year!

I find myself reflecting on 2011 as it comes to a close. This year was very eventful from the wedding with 200 guest and two venues; the milestone birthday parties, the countless baby showers, rentals and custom items I have created for my clients. I learned a lot about the business and about myself. I started 2011 with my feet on the ground running booked already up to May. I was busy this is what I had been dreaming of. With every event I had a favorite item that I created.
In February I did a Mardi Gras party the centerpieces were fun as was the event I hope to still be partying as the guest did when I am in my 60's.

May I did  a wedding where the client had a swarovski crystal bouquet hold which set the tone for her special day. From this event I have a couple of favorite items, but the one that was the most challenging were the invitations. I pride myself in custom design items and their invitations were that. I individually glued 12 black mini stones onto 160 invites.
June I had the pleasure of doing a candy land theme baby shower my favorite things where the lollipops and candy pieces I made.
July was the retirement party for a husband and wife. I created 18 custom centerpieces each a different place the couple had traveled to.
While creating these countless events I celebrated a big milestone of my own my 30th Birthday. Sure I planned the party of the year for the Queen of Events herself. It was simple, detailed and so me. My custom centerpieces with images of me throughout the years.
In November I helped an old friend celebrate her 30th also. Her girly themed event was overall fun and using only tulle for decorations made me think deep for creative ways to decorate the hall.
To close out the year I had the pleasure of doing a under the sea theme baby shower. Not only did I pull this event off in three weeks I restored the faith of this client to use an event planner again; after her first one balled on her at the last minute. The back drop for this events cake table was great and fun to do.
My creativity was taken to a whole new level with the countless events and orders I filled in 2011. I can't wait for the new challenges 2012 has in store for me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Queen of Events.
