“I had Melissa plan my son’s 2nd birthday party. She was organized and all ready to go so when she came to my house to decorate. Everything was ready and didn’t take too much time. I used Melissa because I am a working mother and I don’t have a lot of time to plan these things. As well, I am not the most creative person. I was so impressed with her and she saved me so much time. It was so worth it.”

“Having Melissa plan my baby shower was great! She asked me what kind of shower I was looking for and how many people I was expecting. After just having a baby, she took everything off my plate and coordinated the whole event! She sent out all the invitations with plenty of notice for guests, organized all the food, brought all the decorations, and did set up and take down. Her professionalism and organization gave me peace of mind knowing that she had everything under control! Everything was perfect! We highly recommend her for a stress-free and fun event!”

“Melissa went above and beyond my expectations. She completely nailed our branding and offerings. I love that you stuck with local goods and did your research on who we are and what we offer and the party reflected that perfectly.

That to me, says so much about your personality. You took everything in stride, even my frantic last-minute questions, and went above and beyond to make sure the party was a success; THANK YOU!”

So you started planning your wedding and you’re getting excited making floral choices, picking out linens and deciding on guest favours. But it soon dawns on you just how MANY choices you have to make when it comes to designing your perfect day – and that includes selecting the chairs. Who knew there were so many options out there?!

We’ve experienced a lot of blush pastel in the past couple years and instead of a blush, we are going to see more rose tones or muted beige pinks. Instead of just white accents for this theme more sandstone, cream, mocha and muddy pinks will be used.
