HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN EVENT + HUGE EVENT PLANNING SHOPPING HAUL + HONEST Q&A

[@sherlycormier]

Thank you so much for sharing this very informative walk through. You are literally my virtual mentor. As a visual my self I highly agree with you on setting up a mock table days before the event... Love the way you went about explaining That!

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

Thanks so much love and I am honored to be your virtual mentor! Love and blessings to you 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💜💜💜💜

I'm decorating for a purple and white themed event next month so your decor has helped me visualize tremendously . I used white hydrangeas at my last event and I love how you added the purple flower heads. What a time saver as I stored all the centerpieces still in their vases already assembled. Great info on the pre-prep! TFS!

[@paulinesimpson1786]

Hi Melanie, I agree with you that if you are in the event planning industry a mock set up can save you a lot of time when its time for the actually event. because you do not have to scramble around trying to figure out how you are going to set up the event.

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

Absolutely Pauline!

[@kmob219]

Great points on doing a mock up at home of the table setting!

[@carmella4106]

[@maggiev5706]

Happy Sunday, thanks again for imparting so much information. I can't wait to actually be able to take your course. I have watched some of your journey from a little before the LUX grand opening. You are truly gifted. Your blog and setups have encouraged me to keep my vision of being a successful Event Planner. Btw, I love ALL your outfits.

Melanie, Love the video. Thank you very much for sharing your gift and being always so honest. The best part for me was the dog..he was looking at you with so much love !!! It kind of looks like my little Maltipoo, his name is Apolo he is 5 months old weighs 5 pounds and let me tell you they bring so much joy and unconditional love into your home and into your life. Thank you for allowing him to be on the video. It was very sweet to watch.Love, Soledad Mitchell

Hi Melanie, I wanted to tell you that the chargers you are using on your table I DIY them. They are so beautiful, so if anyone is looking to make them and try to figure out on a budget I have a DIY on my channel that they can look at. Thank you for all the information that you share, it is so helpful and I enjoy sucking up all ot the knowledge that you share with us.

[@pamelakamper3485]

And yes they need your attention most of the time!😂

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

He is something else!

[@kmob219]

Following up on your response to the question about guests taking centerpieces (I agree that's a no), does your contract cover the client paying for the centerpieces that were taken? Or is there even a way to tactfully remind guests to not take the centerpieces (or other items home)? Some of them can be replaced, but others may be items that are no longer sold so then you're short for when you would've wanted to use them again. Looking forward to taking your course on opening your own event venue!!

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

I haven’t had that issue…
