Update
Thought I would give you guys an update on my BIG EVENT! Well, to put it mildly, it went FABULOUSLY!!!! All of my hard work and everyone's good vibes paid off. The clients were ecstatic and overwhelmed with the finished product. A few times that evening, it was almost embarrassing, as I was getting as much attention as the bride! LOL! I only made 2 mistakes that I can see:
1) we had created a "martini lounge" in a side room and at the last minute my attention to detail husband suggested we procure those new carpet squares and re-carpet the room. We did, and it really became pretty obvious after just a few hours that the squares might just possibly be a shambles before nights end. BUT< since the client didn't pay for this, i chose to leave them and of course.... they were in shambles before the night ended. But, i have to admit, even that i don't feel that bad about.
2) there had been much discussion and changing of leaving the church flowers in place for sunday mornings services, yes, no, yes, no and then 2 days before a yes. but, i forgot to mention that to my takedown crew. the parents were so blase' about it, thank goodness.
SO, thank you to everyone. The event did however have it's problems, non-client related. 1) my digital camera was stolen, therefore ALL of my pictures of the biggest event i've done so far, gone.
2) 2 large expensive martini glasses stolen
3) lost my head designer on monday morning. not necessarily related to this event, but never the less, he will be missed.
Everyone have a wonderful 4th!
