Here to help curate all things life
As an event coordinator, stylist, and interior designer, the process of making a purchase requires a keen eye for detail and an understanding of the specific needs of the event or space. Whether it's selecting decor for a wedding, acquiring furniture for a corporate event, or sourcing materials for a wardrobe refresh, every choice should align with the overall vision.
Define the Vision: Begin with a clear concept. What mood or theme are you aiming to create? Jot down keywords that encapsulate the desired aesthetic.
Budget Planning: Establish a budget that accommodates all necessary purchases. This includes decor, furniture, lighting, and any other essential elements. Prioritize spending based on impact and necessity.
Research Suppliers: Identify reliable suppliers or retailers that specialize in the items you need. Look for quality, uniqueness, and options within your budget.
Create a Checklist: Develop a list of items needed for purchase. Group similar items together—such as furniture, linens, and tableware—to streamline the shopping process.
Sample Selection: Whenever possible, obtain samples of materials or products to evaluate in person before making a final decision. This may include fabric swatches, color palettes, or small decor items.
Timing: Plan purchases around timelines for events or projects. Some items may take longer to arrive, so it’s crucial to order in advance.
Consider Logistics: Think about delivery, storage, and setup. Ensure that your purchases fit within the logistical framework of the event or design.
Sustainability: If possible, consider the environmental impact of your purchases. Opt for sustainable materials or local suppliers to reduce carbon footprints.
Evaluate and Adjust: Once items are acquired, assess how they fit within the overall design. Be prepared to adjust or make changes if something does not meet expectations.
By following these steps, you can streamline the purchasing process, ensuring that all items contribute seamlessly to the event or design vision. We tap into our creativity, to give you what you need. We’ve got this.
