As a decorator myself, you did great. This profession is no joke!!! I’m sorry you had to go through that. I strongly advise my clients that they have to have their venue in checked before I even take the event. Nothing personal just business 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! Yeah, some of these venues make our jobs a lot harder than they need to be.

[@kimberlycoleman5416]

Even though you had very little cooperation from the hotel, the decorations were awesome! The entire room was beautiful! You did an awesome job under stressful circumstances and conditions. Kudos to you!👏👏👏👏

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you so much Kimberly!

[@kat64470]

Is 5,000 too low for an event like this?

[@YesEventDecor]

@@kat64470 For everything? Or just what I provided?

[@ceciyeltom235]

You created such a Beautiful and Elegant event2 in 1. I'm sure this was rush wasn't good, but looking at everything no one would know.

[@YesEventDecor]

Awww! Thank you!

[@iam_trinikimmy]

I love it! Congratulations on your graduation Ashley! And Happy 40th Birthday, too, you look like 30! Love the photos of Ashley! Love the color scheme, the sparkle and the lounge furniture. Great job.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! This was a hard one but we got it done. My client looked beautiful. ☺️

[@latoyapeeples-im4fs]

Everything looks beautiful! Where did you order the custom photo backdrops?

[@latoyapeeples-im4fs]

It is awful that the venue was uncooperative. Out of your control. You still made your client happy.

[@teasdesigns]

Beautiful as always... I’m still inspired to move forward with my balloon designing. Your insight truly helps. 🙏🏽👏🏽

[@YesEventDecor]

You can do it!

[@tanyaallenhill4701]

I'm so greatful for your experiences and lessons you share. You are a blessing

[@YesEventDecor]

Awww! God is good. 🙌🏽 Thank you ☺️

[@diva4life361]

You did a great job, the decorations looked amazing!!! It probably would have been a good idea for the client to hire her own event coordinator to help pull the everything together. Even if she didn't need the person for the entire event, she could have booked them just for the setup. A lot of people don't think coordinators are a necessary expense, but this situation proved why they're role is very important.

[@YesEventDecor]

That is such a great idea! 👏🏽 For this event, I played the role of event designer and coordinator, which was a lot (almost too much). In the future, I will bring a coordinator with me on the day-of. That needs to be factored into the budget.

[@dominiquepasols5420]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience so transparently! It's super helpful in planning!

[@YesEventDecor]

It’s my pleasure!

[@koyajoon7037]

Whoa, you are AMAZINGLY TALENTED! I love it!!!🥰🎉

[@YesEventDecor]

Awww! Thank you!

[@c.2272]

Beautiful work!… shimmer walls can be difficult in daylight, I have taken a photo drop screen (thick non-woven material)and clipped it up behind the shimmer wall, creating a full non see through look!… also before I take on any project I do an initial consultation at the said venue and video record top to bottom-side to side - wall to wall - floor to floor- floor to door and door to door, that way I’m able to reference anything as I’m doing a floor plan😊

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you!

[@Habesha_Decor]

you zip tied the shimmer wall, that's so creative of you. thanks for sharing darling.

[@YesEventDecor]

Yeah a prefer zip ties over the clips. ☺️

[@Habesha_Decor]

@@YesEventDecor much much better. you're the best XX

😮 Girl, you did AMAZING JOB as always! Girl, Show your super power !!!😎😁

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you so much!!

[@breemiller5164]

It looks beautiful. Venues don't realize that helping the customer makes them look better. Being helpful makes people want to recommend them to others.

[@YesEventDecor]

Exactly!!! They definitely lost my recommendation.

[@tonyaramsey1221]

You did an amazing job!! Everything looked absolutely beautiful as always. Thank you so much for lessons learned. Your desire to help others be successful is unmatched. You are truly an angel sent from heaven. God bless you!! Continue being Great!

You did that!!!🎉 The attention to detail was excellent! Where did you order the picture backdrop 's?

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! I didn’t order those. My client purchased them from someone in the area.

[@luluvn1875]

Amazing work. I can relate when things go not so well but especially when your given limit time like and hour. But thank you for sharing. Cant wait for your pricing video.

Hi i would like to join your class don’t know how

[@kirstiegreen6557]

Really great video and the advice, thanks 🙏🏽. I am a new subscriber and loving ❤your channel. Keep up the great work

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you for subscribing!!!

[@cusegurl66]

OMG, that didn't look like a hotel. It looked like a convention center. What happened to the cushions on the chairs. Your designs were beautiful, but the layout of the room made them look sparse. I love the cake area, very genius. Thank you for sharing. You are a really good teacher.

[@YesEventDecor]

This was the most “unique” hotel space I’ve ever decorated. There were no tables, no chairs, nothing was included in the room. I should have shown you guys a before video so you could see how much work we put into that room. It was a huge room with a whole lot of windows. ☺️

[@dinapearson6125]

It was beautiful. It’s tough when venue staff is not helpful. For shimmer walls and hedge walls, I always use draping or a tarp behind.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! Yeah, I used draping behind it and you could still see through.

[@ConnieWright-y8o]

Beautiful set up! Good job.🙏🏽👍🏾❤️🌟🙏🏽

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you!

[@itsasweetoccasion9692]

Thank you so much for your advice and sharing! Despite all the hiccups you did an AMAZING job! How do you keep your table linen wrinkle free during transport?

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! I'll have to make a video on that. Wrinkle-free tablecloths is a WHOLE process...

[@majesticjb]

❤❤ Beautiful job like always. How do you store and organize your flowers and your shimmer walls?

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! I’ll have to do a video on that (how I store everything).

[@2thesea541]

Oh I'm so sorry you had all those issues. That was awful that the tables and chairs came so late. My first Big Event is next weekend , I am expecting things to go wrong, but I hope my Balloon backdrops looks a little like yours, LOL and I did check all my outlets, I'm good with that, Thanks

[@YesEventDecor]

How did your first event go? I hope everything went well!

[@ernestinehookfin7230]

Awesome! You did a great job!

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you so much!

[@gigispice1329]

Beautiful work as always. Despite the little hiccups everything came together. As far as the venue goes, leave a yelp review. If this is how they operate they need new management

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! I’m pretty sure my client left a review.

[@SheWalksInBeauty__]

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the mishaps, but with God help you made it through 😂! Beautiful setup!

[@YesEventDecor]

All praise be to the Lord! It was only by his grace that we finished that event! 🙌🏽

@@YesEventDecor amen amen !!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@racquellcampbell7109]

Everything looked really nice

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! 🤗

[@kat64470]

Each vendor should be responsible for their own cords. That's a no brainer. Did you place the desserts on the table? I loved seeing your family help you.

[@YesEventDecor]

No, I didn’t place the desserts this time. The baker was paid to do that. I just provided the dessert stands.

[@t.m.b1955]

Everything looked beautiful and so amazing, I am giving my son a graduation party, where did you get the large stand up pictures, please help, thanks.

[@YesEventDecor]

My client purchased those.

[@Ebonyeyez7]

Everything is beautiful!! How did you create the standing photos?

[@YesEventDecor]

I didn’t create those. My client ordered those from a print shop in her area. Thanks!

[@butterfly3647]

Loved it! I have a question though. I did you know what size and how many balloons to blow up for that design?

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to count the number of balloons when I’m setting up my events. But you can check out this video to see how many balloons I used - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6TOeI2QqLKXh5o. It’s a similar backdrop.

@YesEventDecor thanks for your reply. The flower vase isn't linked.

[@YesEventDecor]

They must not be available anymore. I’m sorry!

[@KK-ql8vy]

You did an amazing job! Question, Are you an event planner or just event decorator? As a decorator are they responsible for making sure the other vendors/ entertainment has plugs and what they need?

[@YesEventDecor]

That is a great question! As an event designer, I feel like I take on some of the role of an event planner now. I’m talk about that in one of my videos.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! I’m clumsy too. Sometimes I trip over the fishing line. ☺️

[@QueenBluntdanae]

@@YesEventDecor you did great as always

[@jesslivinlife]

This video was inspiring thank you. It sounds like this hotel is looking for ways to make more money by renting out the space but wasn’t thoroughly thought out by the company. Since your client did not have a day of coordinator would it be considered “unprofessional” to reach out to the venues yourself when decorating for events?(After the contract is secured by the client of course).

[@letesamimms3846]

[@cristilyntolbert2565]

You did a great job given the circumstances! I am TOTALLY a sucker for gold decor and metallic balloons. Please share what type, if any, balloon shine that you use. And I sure do hope the venue provided your client a discount or refund since that loading doc was inoperable... a hotel that doesn't at least provide tables and some type of chairs for an event???? UNHEARD OF!

[@nastassjaharris1583]

Looks like Kalisan mirror white gold balloons to me

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! The balloons I used are listed in the description of this video. I didn’t use any balloon shine. I hope my client got some sort of refund. Either way, we will never recommend that venue to anyone else.

For shimmer wall just a tip: just cover the back with white or black which suits your shimmer wall colour. Same like the green wall then you can put it anywhere.

[@YesEventDecor]

I did cover the back with a curtain. You can still see through it.

[@breemiller5164]

Would a champagne colored sheet or some type of light colored cover work if you need to set up near a window?

[@YesEventDecor]

I used gold drapes behind it and it only helped a little. The place was alllllllllll windows.

[@sheilakelly84]

Hi! What size is the welcome sign, and what kind of paper did you use?

[@YesEventDecor]

Hi there! Here’s another video on that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7OiKyEoLGNZ9Esi=F8HNSN_DD-9lfPn1.

Wow that’s not right. Sorry that happened to you. Question where did you get the birthday sign from? Also do u sand your backdrop down before adding another color? I use the sample paint but I think I’m gonna need more lol

[@YesEventDecor]

I just added the link for the happy birthday sign in the description. No, I don't sand my backdrops. I just paint over the old color.

What do you do with things that you custom paint after the event?

Put it in my storage unit

[@whbattle04]

Hi Lonielle, Do you count and charge for each flower you add for your centerpieces?
