Penn West Christmas Party November 27/2010

When Stacy contacted me from Penn West to do their Christmas Party, I knew it had to be nothing short of perfect! They told me right away they wanted white and silver as their colours, which excited and scared me. Having no pops of a "colour" could potentially make a room look bland...BUT
five broken nails later, when the whole room transformed into this amazingly elegant ambiance, I knew I killed it!

I need you to know that I truly have the best friends in the whole world! The pre-stress that went into this event was solely and only due to these organza chair sashes. For those of you who have used an organza chair sash you know that they are flimsy and don't hold big bows nicely, and me being a perfectionist I needed them to look better then good, and would settle for nothing short of this. So thankfully the week before Sarah, Patrick, Lorne and Amanda were there to help me per-fect the end result!

This event wouldn't have turned out if it wasn't for Amanda. She was there all day for me, twisting the balls around the chair sash's, setting up the Christmas tree and just really being there for me and I am just so thankful for her! I also want to thank the Penn West girls that were there in the morning, as well as Danita for her advice and dealing with Amanda and I's singing all day :)

I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!

A Little Bit About Myself

Born and raised in Estevan Saskatchewan, by pretty great parents and with my three older brothers, I always had a "plan". I love plans..making plans...thinking of plans...but even better then plans are lists. I will write a To Do List for just about everything. Then have a highlighter on hand to check my duties off once they are done.
When I got engaged to my fantastic husband, I was on a mission to have this completely unique and personal wedding, an event that 100% represented us. As any bride to be I became completely consumed in all things weddings. From the centerpieces to flowers, the invitations to the photos. Except after I was married I couldn't get any of it out of my mind.
I have always had a passion for colors, decorations, and the feel of a room. So when Julie, a friend of mine, got engaged and asked for my help I was more than honored. It was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. To come in and take away stress from the bride and groom, then to have the privilege to contribute to throwing this breath taking event....it was amazing.
My family and friends, have always asked me why I don't get into this field and I never really had a good answer back. It wasn't until I went for lunch with Julie after her wedding and she said to me "I just don't understand why you wouldn't".... It was that line that got me to where I am today.
Starting a business can feel scary, like you're the new kid going into elementary school and all you hope for is that people like you. Then I think.... no starting a business is exciting, I get the chance to do what I love, showcase my skills while helping people. It's nothing less than great.
