Inspired By Lights

I keep meeting clients who want nothing to have to do with lights, for them flowers is what makes an event look fabulous. It's true, flowers can lift the face of any event no matter how big or small (ask our local caterers who copy Preston Bailey unashamedly and by copy I mean photocopy to the tee! I went to one of the very top ones and in a conversation asked him who designs his florals and very proudly was told, "I do", with this oh-so accomplished smile, and I point out how they are exactly like Preston Bailey's and on being caught he takes out PB's book and says, "this is the bible." *facepalm*). 

The so-called bible - own it and you can be the best caterer (notice how I don't say event/creative planner) there is in Karachi.

Continuing on, lights can be used in so many effective and glamourous ways that it will boggle your mind. Most of the time clients can't visualise when I tell them this, so I researched a few example to help you understand the power of lights, lights, light!

 Preston Bailey's genius (I bet it's in the bible)

This is from an Indian movie. 

And this is from an American TV show (I forget which)

Harry Potter inspired. Just for fun!

Your Colour Story.

In the age of black and white Dorothy led a very boring life, until she was introduced to colour and then the yellow brick road, the red ruby shoes, the green emerald et al. made magic possible.

Likewise, colour in events, be it official or personal, spins your mood into the Land of Oz. For me it is very important to have definite theme colours for every event; it describes the mood you are trying to evoke in your guests - fun, quirky, elegant, sombre... the palettes are limitless. 

Keeping that in mind I found an ideal site that I thought I would share with you people to help you pick your colour story. Click away!

Inspiring image of the day.

Ideas can come from anywhere, most importantly the internet. I have realized no matter what profession you belong to creativity and inspiration are two elements that are fundamental to task, unless you're a number puncher, in which case grab a dictionary and look up these words. 

A lot of things inspire me. So, I have decided to share some with you, who knows it might get the cogwheels of your mind turning!
