Plan A Events wins First Runner Up in the NACE Tabletop Design Contest

Design by Plan A Events

We are so excited to announce our First Runner Up Award in the NACE Tabletop Design Contest! After months of planning,  the competition took place at Wilson Vineyards on Tuesday, June 23rd. With 11 participants comprised of local Wedding Planners, Rental Companies, Venue Owners and Caterers we were up against some tough competition! I feel blessed to be in the mix with the best of the best in Sacramento and I was in awe of every table in the room. I was also admittedly very nervous about how we would place!

My inspiration for this table was to choose something that was outside of the box for me. It is a much different style than my own, and I even chose to incorporate a color that I don’t much care for, which I mixed in with my favorite color, green. The idea was to create a design that  a girl who has dreamed of her wedding day for her entire life would fall in love with. It was also a way for me to show that I can bring what someone else loves to life, even if it’s not in line with my own style. I believe that is part of what makes a planner a good planner.

Once I had the idea for the design cemented, I knew immediately that I would need the assistance of some top notch professionals to pull it off. That’s when I called Patty from Simply Elegant Rentals and Audrey from Botanica Floral Designs! I wanted it to feel whimsy, elegant and have pops of color to give it a “wow factor” and these girls were the ones to make it happen! The linens and table settings were divine and the floral centerpiece was a show-stopper to say the least! I love the way that it all came together and I am so happy to share the photos with everyone! I hope you enjoy the pictures, taken by Jacqueline Photography! I cannot wait until next year…I think I’ll start planning now!
