Enhancing Our Journey With A New Adventure

At Events By Ashley, we absolutely love getting to meet with brides and other potential clients to help ensure that the special days they are hiring us for, go just as smooth as possible to ease the stress for our clients,  and their family and friends. We enjoy the planning process, and the opportunities we have to get to know some pretty amazing people, as well as the great honor we feel, for being chosen to help them create and execute their vision and dream.

Part of the fullfillment of my job as owner, is the ability to create a space for a client that is both inviting and warm, so that my clients and their guests feel comfortable as they celebrate. My LOVE for design and decorating are what really brought me to the world of Event Planning and so to enhance what we have already begun through Events By Ashley, I have decided to launch, Design By Ashley. Along the planning process I am able to assist our clients with referrals and suggestions for decor, but I wanted to offer just a "Decorating, Inspiration" time for clients that do not really need a full service planner.

 

 

Each package; just as with our Event Planning packages, will be tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We are willing to help just assist in creating a vision for a space, table, or home, as well as assist with shopping and other specific needs related to the desiging process.  Give us a budget and we can do complete creation and execution of the clients vision. Part of that process would include presenting ideas through inspiration boards that we will present to our clients for final approval. We will decorate for weddings, private parties, corporate events, home decor for the holidays, and many other things. 

 

I am so excited for this new opportunity and look forward to helping create; inviting, warm, and

one-of-a-kind decor for that special season or event!

A month in review!

We are right in the midst of a very busy wedding season! We have truly been blessed with some of the best, most appreciative clients and we could not be happier being a part of their special day. We have the the privilege of working with some of the greatest vendors who help make up such a HUGE part of the success of a wedding or event. A special thank you to all of the vendors for making our job just a little easier and easing the minds of our bride and grooms!

Personalizing Your Accessories

Do you have your eye on a hair accessory, but want to make it yourself? Here is a small picture tutorial to help get you started. Look on Pinterest or Etsy to find something you like and then find the pieces that you need to assemble the design you have choosen but don't forget to add your personal touch. All you need is a glue gun and scissors to start putting it together!

A Year To Remember!!

As Events By Ashley gears up for another year of weddings, baby showers, fundraisers and birthday parties, we have spent some time in reflection and we can not believe all that has taken place over the last year and the amazing journey it has been. It would not have been what it was without the poeple, lessons learned, or the ability to do what we love! Thank you to all of you who have encouraged our team, our clients and other vendors who have helped to make Events By Ashley what it is today! 

Here's to another great year!
