Bold Beginnings: Tips and Tricks for Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone With Event Styling
At FreakHaus, boldness isn’t just a concept, it’s our way of life. We thrive on pushing boundaries, reimagining possibilities, and crafting events that leave a lasting impression. It’s in our DNA to celebrate individuality and create experiences that are as unique and inspiring as the people behind them. We aren’t here to copy or replicate. FreakHaus parties are born to inspire.
Tip #1 - Find your true inspo
We get it, you’ve got a Pinterest board packed with perfection: the dress, the flowers, the tablescape. Sure, it helps us get the vibe, but babe, we want more. Show us the soul behind the vision! Give us five things that light you up: the art on your wall that’s been your ride-or-die for years, your fur baby (who, let’s be honest, runs the house), or that Gucci gown you’ve been manifesting since forever.
Inspiration isn’t just copy-paste images; it’s the energy, the story, the vibe that screams YOU. Tell us how you want your event to feel, and we’ll turn that mood into magic.
Trick #2 - Go hard into the theme
If your Pinterest board is basically a shrine to red roses, let’s go all in and turn those romantic vibes into something truly jaw-dropping. Think deep red drapery cascading from the ceiling, silky tablecloths that feel like pure luxury, and layers upon layers of red textures that transform your space into a moody, sensual dreamscape.
Here’s the tea: the purpose of a theme is to go bold—like, can’t-stop-staring bold. Half-baked ideas? That’s when things start to look basic, and we don’t do basic here. At FreakHaus, we take your concept and blow it out of the water. Got a vision? We’ll elevate it. Got no clue? We’ve got ideas so wild they’ll have you saying, “I didn’t even know I wanted that!”
Tip #3 - Silence the outside noise
Let’s get real for a second: we’re talking directly to your MIL-to-be. If she’s not vibing with your vision? That’s totally fine, because guess what? This day isn’t about her. It’s about you and your partner, period.
Too many opinions can turn your dream day into a group project, and nobody wants that. So, let’s shut out the noise and focus on what feels right to you. Maybe it’s bold, maybe it’s unconventional, or maybe it’s not quite “enough” for someone else’s taste - but who cares? This is your moment, and you deserve to own it.
Be brave, stand your ground, and don’t let anyone dim your sparkle. You’re not just planning a wedding - you’re writing your fairytale, and trust us, it’s going to be a bestseller.
Trick #4 - Ask your Vendor
You’ve flipped through the hire catalogue like, four times, and nothing’s giving you that “OMG, yes!” moment? Here’s the insider move: ask your vendor if they’ve got any NEW SEASON pieces that haven’t hit the spotlight yet. You’d be shocked at what’s tucked away- a perfect couch, some swoon-worthy tableware, or that one showstopper piece that’s been waiting for its debut.
And here’s another hot tip: your stylist might have a killer idea they’ve been dying to try but haven’t had the right client to pitch it to. Spoiler alert - it could be YOU. So, before you roll in with your colour palette and non-negotiables, take a beat. Chat with your team, get their vibe, and see what surprises they have up their sleeve. Who knows? The missing piece to your perfect day might be just one convo away.
