Party Planning
Marie123 asked:


I have always loved decorating, art, I love to paint, I love furniture, fabrics, and fashion. I’ve done faux finishes in my home, though I’ve never taken formal classes, and have decorated a few friends apartments.
I love the odd, unusual and creative arts. Metal, glass, wood works.

I’ve heard there’s a difference between a home designer and a decorator. How would one start out? I am taking classes here and there, but it’s not the complete picture. What type of companies would you work or intern for? I’d love to be on the cutting edge of unique and unusual things.

This would be my second career in life, so I’d like to do it sooner rather than later. ;)
Hence, I love party planning. It’s like decorating to me, but you get to be more dramatic and change it often. I’ve done a few bridal showers and a few parties, but on a small scale.

Can you make a living at it, or is it more of a hobby? And do you have to be in a large city? I am in a midsize but growing town.

Thanks

Sophia
