Organising a wedding is a a huge job (some wedding planners say it involves over 300 tasks!) that requires lots of preparation, planning & co-ordination of different suppliers and materials that reflect yourself and your partner. The whole process can drive some girls crazy & I understand why!!As an event stylist, I'm constantly on the look out for ideas and inspiration that match the brides that I'm working with at the time. My mind is always in overdrive trying to thing of new ideas, how I can create them, where I can get them, how they will look etc. Thankfully I've worked out a really simple way to help my decoration decision dilemmas! Basically I create a mock up of my table and begin by buying small things that I think will work. For example this is a picture of some things I have purchased for Stephi & Xavier's wedding in June. There are small fabric swatches, a single brooche, some tassels & flowers from my garden. I put them all on my studio/kitchen table and start building my table adding and subtracting things as my ideas change and begin to form. For brides to be I strongly suggest doing the same because its not until you "see" everything together that your ideas will start to come together. Being visual (and indecisive!) this helps me to work out what works and what doesn't. Trust me if it doesn't look good on your kitchen table it wont look good at your reception!! So good luck!
