Travel is often the catalyst for design. The experiences one has during travel - the feelings that lead to lasting memories - are so often the sources of inspiration for events. How can we recreate that? What was it about that moment, place, meal, etc. that left magic in your mind and is something you'll never forget? In this episode, we share some of our most recent and impactful travel experiences and how we translate the smallest things into event design.

In today's episode we discuss the importance of booking your planner FIRST before pulling triggers on venue or vendors. December through February is "engagement season," which is when we experience a lot of trigger happy couples who are excited, worried about availability, and want to get things done while they're off work and with family. Contracting before you thoroughly think things through or engage with a professional is never a good idea. Slow down, be methodical, and follow our advice to tee up a seamless, smart, and successful wedding.
