I love thumbing through books written by industry titans like Preston Bailey and David Tutera. Full-color event photo euphoria washes over me as I flip pages revealing event after amazing event. “How did they do that?” one might wonder, but more impotantly…How did they come up with that in the first place?
Event planners can find inspiration anywhere! The world of fashion, interior design, entertainment, and even nature can be a creative well-spring of ideas. Above, I’ve posted a few event photos from planners like Bailey and Tutera along with some photos of places they could have drawn their inspiration.
Sure, their apparently astronomical event budgets gives them an edge, but you can use the genius of the big names who write the books we all love to drool over. Find a decor element you find inspiring and put your own spin on it!
To get the creative juices flowing, check out th Event Outfitters website. Event Outfitters is a new company that just launched into the event industry. They offer apparel and gifts for event professionals, but most impotantly – they have an entire selection of inspiring event books written by the Event Industry’s biggest stars. Each book has been approved by event planners with tons of experience in the event world.
