Event Décor / wedding decor Setup



Every time a client comes to us for décor they are always shocked as to how long it takes to create   The sheer amount of time for set up seems to scare them.  Such as to create ten foot trees that literally look like they have been kissed by jack frost and a touch of snow took two people 100 hours.  To completed transform a 6000 square foot mansion inside and out, a team of 5 over 100 hours into a winter wonderland. 
custom pieces that reflect their personality, style and taste.

It always takes three times the amount of time to set up for an event then it does to take it down.  The more dramatic the décor the more expensive it is.  That said to really make your event stand out, be memorable and pop it takes drama with your décor.  Make sure to make the room in your budget to create the right kind  of drama in your event or wedding.

DIY Projects – What You Can DIY vs. What You Should Leave to the Pros



The rule of thumb, if you’re crafty and a wiz with a glue gun, glitter and wire cutters, then you could do more than the folks who aren’t very craft adventurous. 

The bottom line with events and weddings is don’t take on more craft projects then you can actual accomplish in the “spare” time you have.  Right, we all have tons of spare time.  You already work 40-60 hours a week and any craft project done right, is going to take on average 10 hours.  Obviously some do not take as long as others; and some will take much longer than others.  So plan your time accordingly.  Many times when you’re doing craft projects yourself, you may not have done this particular project before and it will take longer for the first few then the following duplicates will take.

When you hire the professionals to assist you with projects it may cost you by the hour, but you’ll get great results with a polished appearance.  If your pictures and the overall appearance that your guests see are important to you, you will want these projects done by the professionals.

Another thing you will want to contemplate, especially as Pinterest continues to grows; clients are choosing multiple pictures that they love from multiple different places, different events and different professionals.  Clients should consider their Pinterest pictures as inspirations as they won’t look identical, just similar and that the professional will be blending all of your elements so that all coordinate with your overall décor, the location and your occasions concept.  After all your event or Colorado wedding should reflect you and not several other folks.

What our clients say about us:


We wanted lavender and lights and A Memory Lane Event & Wedding really hit it out of the park. The floral design was elaborate and created the wow factor we desired. You and your team arrived with bouquets that impressed us all …the elaborate décor scheme from the parking lot, throughout the entire ceremony and the reception space – is now the bar for every family wedding that no one else has reached yet. Everything about the decor was perfect and exactly what we had envisioned. Amazing floral archways covered in lights, organza swags filled with light, lavender color explosions and more really made a huge difference in the overall look and feeling of the wedding.  - Lisa
