Sometimes it starts with a color. You like blue? Suddenly, you have visions of glowing blue lanterns, hanging delicately from branches in a courtyard. Other times, it starts with a scent and you find the smell of the ocean replicated in starfish shaped soaps that would make perfect favors for a beach-themed wedding. Sometimes it’s simply timing, and there’s a holiday or a new product that dictates the theme of the event. And, sometimes, let’s face it, it’s beer!

The point is, whether you’re planning a large event or a small one, you have to start somewhere. So, let your senses be your guide. What inspires you?
