Process & Timing for Full Event Brand & Styling
All Major Credit Cards Accepted.
Congratulations! Now that you have determined to celebrate your milestone with a grand event, let's style it.
We can acheive the most creative results if you contact me early. When you decide on your venue, and are in the beginning stages of determining your colors, style and decor, call me. I prefer to begin styling events one year in advance. Remember, because you need to mail your invitations 2 months prior, that leaves 10 months from interview - through concept - to final execution. See my "style timelines" below.
If you have less time, but still want something spectacular, I will do my best to accommodate so don’t be afraid to inquire.
