I've been drawing and decorating since grade school. I always kept it as a hobby. But after doing a few parties, my mother and friends keeps encouraging me to do this professionally. I love designing. I breathe home decor😂. But I'm between doing this as a hobby, and finding the courage to step out and make it a career. Part of me is scared. But my baby girl watches me design so much, that she puts floral arrangements together and creates table settings. Mind you, she's 5. So, here's me declaring to take a risk on me. Thank you for the encouragement Melanie 💕❤️
I'm starting my event planning company and this information is so great. Thank you so much for always wanting us to win Queen. I appreciate you so much and I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you for being so great and showing us that it can be done in a budget 😊. You are a black girl who Rocks!!. Blessings 🙌 sistrin. Tfs
I enjoyed your how to buy inventory for events video. I loved how you showed us the various must have items and showed them in the venues. I would love to see you shop at other stores, as well. Take care 💞
I've become a Hobby Lobby decornista in the past few weeks🤣. Daughter's wedding in September and I was able to get the effiel tower vases at half off(3@$9.99each)last week, though they are the 16inch ones and I am planning to order(12) taller ones online, I was able to give my daughter and son in law a visual of the possibility and they loved them so I'm cleared to order the taller ones. Hobby Lobby flowers don't look as nice as the ones I purchased for my oldest daughter's wedding 6 years ago so I've decided to use her ivory colored roses(I have them in my storage, they still look nice) and purchase fresh burgundy roses and fillers come September and give the fresh florals away as favors. My oldest colors were eggplant, gold and ivory. I used her eggplant artificial floral for decor in my main bedroom. This daughter decided to go with navy, burgundy, gold and ivory so I'm able to incorporate the colors and save a little to do other things. Your videos have helped me come more up-to-date with wedding decor, it was a bit more simple back in the day, however, my oldest was more over the top glam and my youngest is more classic so it's a perfect blend for me though I'm simplistic, this wedding will be dreamy. Thanks for all you share 💞
You are truly inspiring , thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am a single mother on a limited income. I am in the process of opening my event business. Do you have tips on what inventory to start out with when working with a small budget and little space?
We used that wood box as the planter pot for the aisle runner for my daughter's outdoor wedding 2 years ago. It held sunflowers, baby's breath and trailing ivy. Found 2 larger sizes at Marshall's and used for centerpieces including on the food table loaded with hydrangeas, shrub roses, sunflowers, ivy and gold foliage. It was stunning.
Question - I see the beautiful napkin rings - do people take them? I know for my wedding, people will taking everything not nailed down - it was unbelievable. I would be afraid that people would take the napkin rings and I would have to keep replacing them.

Do you store these items on site or do you have a separate storage facility/unit that houses all of your decor items?
Separate unit- cleaning it to share this spring

I make an Announcement 📣 via DJ for them to place them on the table….
