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.
