Details Separate the Amazing from the Generic

"That was astonishing. Beautiful. Perfect in every way." Words you want to hear from those who participate in and attend your important event.

To achieve praise and satisfaction is hard work. It also involves strict and focused awareness on things that most people don't notice until it's too late. When an event spins out of control, or is deeply disappointing, it's often the details that were neglected that are to blame.

Your wedding, fundraiser, party or other function deserves extreme attention to details. Taking care of every little thing, with a fussy perfectionism, can spell the difference between mediocrity and excellence. You don't want the generic, blah, or bland. You want something memorable, that will be admired, enjoyed, and talked about years later.

What might seem a small thing can suddenly become colossal, when it goes wrong.

The little touches are what many event planners just don't think about. They're rushing around, trying to manage and implement big things, but problems and errors in the details can ruin the best and most grandiose  plans.

Flowers that have wilted. Colors that don't match. Garbage spilling over from an unattended trash can. Electrical cords threatening to trip someone by how they're secured or placed. Generic decor with no imagination. Ethnic inauthenticity. Over-priced, poor tasting beverages that could be replaced by more satisfying, lower-cost alternatives. Dumpy, dorky arrangements that are not pleasing to the eye.

Texture. Depth. Visual impact. Lighting. Sound quality and volume. Distractions from adjoining rooms. Deliveries that were not confirmed. Miscommunication. Failure to triple check. Assuming it's being taken care of. Not having a Plan B if Plan A goes awry.

So many things can go wrong. So many "little things" can have a huge impact.

Let the professionals associated with Inspirations by Tami plan, design, and manage your next big event.

Wedding Planning Checklist at Real Simple

There's a great wedding planning checklist at Real Simple.

[Photo above by True Photography, at Karen Tran Florals.]

The list is broken down in "16 to 9 months before", "8 months before", etc. all the way to "Week of the Wedding". It's a good template for planning a wedding. But if you take on this burden yourself, with all the other tasks and responsibilities you struggle with now, your wedding can seem to be more of a problem than a joyous occasion.

Take a look at this Wedding Planning Checklist at Real Simple to see what I mean. You'll start to get an idea of the overwhelming amount of work that goes into most weddings. It's like staging a military campaign in the number of logistical things that must be resolved, triple checked, and organized.

Your wedding is a big day for you, your family, guests, and friends. It can be very stressful when something goes wrong. What some people might consider a "little thing" can make or break a wedding.

"The wedding was nice, but...." is something you dread hearing.

This is your special day. A moment in time that you've dreamed about since you were a little girl. You've rehearsed it in your imagination when you were very young, and kept mulling over it as you got older. Your sisters, mom, and friends have given you tips and ideas. When your wedding day finally arrives, the last thing you want is for that dream to suddenly turn into a nightmare.

That's where Inspired Events by Tami comes in.

Let Inspired Event by Tami be your trusted adviser. I'll take all the worry, fuss, and aggravation upon my shoulders. My collective partners and I will carry the load of planning, organizing, designing, and implementing all the details of your wedding and reception.

Relax. We've got you covered. It's going to be -- fantastic!
