Description

It can be very tempting to want to jump right in and begin to choose the elements of styling too early. In this course, train in the fundamentals behind event design first so you approach projects professionally and responsibly and you’re fully prepared to plan successful events. Learn:

  • How to conceptualize an individual event
  • The importance of examining floor plans and using design software
  • Where to look for inspiration
  • How to translate a client’s vision into practical application
  • How to choose the right design and décor techniques
  • To make styling easy with style layers

While creativity is undoubtedly the most visual and fun element to planning events, there’s a science to the planning and detail of each event. We take you through the typical ins and outs so you can practice before you offer a professional service. We give you the answers to many questions, like:

  • What draping fabric should I choose for a wedding?
  • What colours create what moods?
  • How much detail should I add?
  • How light or dark should the room be?
  • When should I use ceiling draping?
  • What styling approach works best for different types of event?
