Where I find your honesty so refreshing and I absolutely love what you stand for. I'm looking to one day have my own business doing party planning. I've been doing it for most my life but most within my family for birthdays and on a very small scale as compared to your monster business. I know you are a very busy woman but if you could give any piece of advice in starting a business in this industry what would it be?<br />Sincerely...

Know that you are fabulous and I understand your frustration with the party world right now. It is one thing to style a party for an editorial shoot where you control all of the variables. Event Planning encompasses so much more! There is room enough in this world for both "Event Stylists" and "Event Planners" but somehow the public and even our industry is getting confused on the difference! My reality is I do "real" parties and not photo shoot parties. They may not always be "photo" perfect but my clients are happy their events are memorable and beautiful. <br />You are someone that I highly admire and I've always loved your work. SO please never leave our industry and the passion that you have for your craft. Many blessings my friend and thanks for sharing. I've been there at times myself!Maddycakes Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15591941545498196506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831344805457285717.post-30948922963254085522012-02-20T12:54:24.658-08:002012-02-20T12:54:24.658-08:00One of the Best Blogs ever !
