#280 - Design Is The Fun Part! Right?

For many people it's daunting to think about the design process for their wedding. You’d think it be as simple as picking some colors and tying some bow, right? On today’s show, Christy and Michelle connect with Birch Event Design, a high-end production design and floral installation company that brings awe-inspiring moments to life.

As experienced creators, Birch’s goal is to discover what inspires their clients and design an immersive world that perfectly expresses that energy. At every stage their team works hand in hand with clients to elevate their event to the highest level. Founder Josh Spiegel has done over 3000 events— weddings, milestone moments, corporate affairs, soirées, installations— and is consistently transforming raw spaces into breathtaking ballrooms, eyesore counters into eye-popping tablescapes, and bare-as-bone poles into effervescent fairylands. Birch Event Design has been featured in Brides, The New York Times, and People Magazine. While not everyone can have a million dollar wedding, Josh shares his suggestions to make any budget feel big, beautiful, and budget-less.
