There's really no easy way to say this, but it has to be done. I've been thinking of this for a few months now, but with the party season being in full swing, I get about 200 requests a month.

I have set boundaries that I plan on adhering to for the foreseeable. My prices aren't small or big, they are my prices, this is what I value my craft, my time and my resources. If I'm not in someone's budget, I'm happy to discuss options that I can offer within that budget, however, I'm not willing to negotiate or compromise.

I take time away from my little boy and family to make your events more beautiful and that means a lot to me.

I wish this audio wasn't so accurate 😂 and I am genuinely in doubt any medication could silence this!

This setup had a bit of everything, including me falling from the bar stool and sitting on the floor speechless (I am never ever speechless) in front of my client, in sheer shock. My arm I fell on matched the dusty blues perfectly 😂

It could always be worse, but being 4ft11 isn't great in event decor! Short Queen vibes aren't it in this case!

We make it work anyway! Here's to all my the shorties in the balloon world! .balloons

The best decision I've ever made as a small business owner is to stay true to myself and my values, regardless the cost.

I've built this business around my little boy and that's my priority for the foreseeable. He is 7 and goes with me to most of my setups. If he is not welcome, please know that I'm not a good match for your event.

I don't match anyone's quotes, I don't negotiate my prices, I don't match a quote I've given 5 years ago. I don't take away from my child to save someone else a penny. Equally, I won't have anyone tell me that I'm under or overpricing. Every business is free to set their own prices based on their own variables. My work isn't for any other business to price.

I don't compromise on safety or quality. I use my props and my balloons that I can guarantee for. No shade on Amazon kits, but those are for DIY jobs.

I don't copy anyone's work like for like. It's inconsiderate and unprofessional. I gladly accept inspiration pictures from any creator, that's not an issue.

My job is to please my clients, not to chase instagram trends.
I gladly adapt my style to whatever the client likes. If my client prefers a skinny S shape, I do a skinny S shape. If my client likes a fuller garland, that's what we're doing. This is where sending inspo pictures comes in handy!

What values are you looking for in a small event decor business?
