ABOUT THIS COURSE

Create events that sparkle and dazzle. Make a successful career out of your creative talents and vision by becoming a successful event designer.

Your natural flair for styling and designing can be your ticket to a career in the exciting world of events.

One of the most rewarding ways to give expression to your creativity is by designing and styling events.

Think of it – a large blank canvas for you to paint colorful, captivating effects on! While creativity is, undoubtedly, the most visual and fun element to planning events, there’s a science to the planning and detail of each event.

We take you through the typical ins and outs so you can practice before you offer a professional service.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Fundamentals first, cool artistry later!

It can be very tempting to want to jump right in and begin to choose the elements of styling too early. In this course, train in the fundamentals behind event design first so you approach projects professionally and responsibly and you’re fully prepared to plan successful events. Learn:

The importance of examining floor plans and using design software
Where to look for inspiration
How to translate a client’s vision into practical application
How to choose the right design and décor techniques
To make styling easy with style layers

While creativity is undoubtedly the most visual and fun element to planning events, there’s a science to the planning and detail of each event. We take you through the typical ins and outs so you can practice before you offer a professional service. We give you the answers to many questions, like:

What draping fabric should I choose for a wedding?
What colours create what moods?
How much detail should I add?
How light or dark should the room be?
When should I use ceiling draping?
What styling approach works best for different types of event?
