Custom Logo Design

What have I been up to??  It's been a while since my last blog post!  I am knee deep in wedding and graduation season and add a strain of sickness in my house, it makes for a pretty busy April!

I do want to share with you what REALLY kept me busy this month...Custom logo design.   I added them to my Etsy store a while ago and they have been really popular!  Logo design has become one of my favorite things to do.  Here is a sneak peek of some of my work.

These are not all final logos..just different options of some designs!

Friday Craft: Candlestick Jars

I love this idea from This Old Chair.  I actually did these for a "cute as a button" baby shower.  There really is no tutorial.  Just get a jar and a candlestick and paint them the same color..wallah! I did not glue my jars to the candlestick though.  It made it easier to just pour the candy out into candy bowls.


Here are the ones I did for the shower.  You can check out ther whole party here.


Until next time,

Wedding Wednesday: Event Planners vs. Event Designers

There seems to be a new trend in the event world...well maybe not new, just now there in a name for it.  During my endless hours of web surfing in the party and wedding world wide web, the title "event designers" has become quite common. 

Is there a difference between and "event planner" vs. an "event designer"?  I had a hunch, but thought I would do some research on the subject.  From what I have found..yes..there is a difference.  Although the terms have in the past been used interchangeably, it is now time for the event people to pick a side.

The qualifications of either of these service providers comes down to simply..do you plan or do you design? 

Which one do you need for your event?  Check out these two blog post by fabulous event designers that I think lay it out straight forward. 

The southern cutie, Christopher Confero from Christopher Confero Design

and the much respected (cutie too) Preston Bailey

I have decided that I am unequivocally an event DESIGNER! Weather it is a wedding client, bar/bat mitzvah, or 1st birthday, the minute I talk with the client and they lay out for me their theme, the wheels in my head start turning and they don't stop until the whole event has been pulled together.  My job is to make your event the best in can possibly be and more importantly UNIQUE. 

As always...celebrate perfectly!
