I've been toying with the idea of event planning for quite some time. The excitement elicited in me by the prospect of throwing a casual dinner party or even planning a big 25th birthday bash was often un-containable....Said excitement usually resulted in many a shift in priorities as a grad student, an employee for "The Man" and a pseudo event planner.... pseudo event planner priorities shining above the rest shamelessly...
I found that I could scour the net for hours, obsessively identifying the perfect locations, the perfect menus and the perfect decor for events, whilst there was an ever-growing workload for my more important duties, perched upon my shoulder, waiting for my attention...
My AHA moment was thus born...I always believed that a person should go after their passion, that thing that excited them the most and not only brings them pleasure but a paycheck as well (a girl has bills ^_^) I realized that I got great satisfaction in organising people, things, food and places in such a way that memories are borne and stomachs and minds are nourished.
I then decided that I would try to pursue this "event planning thing" more seriously after I completed my grad degree so that I could give my business the TLC that it needed to flourish and grow. Here I am today, one semester left and unable to wait much longer to make my own dreams a reality.
The name. I came up with the name "Beaux Reves" because I wanted to "make dreams come true" While this is a trite expression, I can think of no other words that describe what I want to do better than these...I am in love with the French language and thought it added a nice elegant flair to the sentiment "Sweet dreams"..the same elegance I intend to bring to each event.
In this blog I will identify those other bloggers and artisans who have put together magical checklists, whimsical party ideas and crafty doodle crafts, while infusing my own tips, sharing my experiences, and offering my event planning services for the lucky New Yorkers who are interested in putting on a memorable affair.
Just as a warning, I will focus more on the typically "girly" kind of events..Weddings, Dinner Parties, Baby Showers, Bridal Showers, Holiday parties and maybe even Bachelorette parties (of the PG13 persuasion), if there are any other types of parties you'd love me to give a shot, I'm always up for the challenge.
