New Trend Alert: Statement Signage
I'm sure you'll be seeing more statement signage pieces as the year goes on, because if your signage can be as cutesy and demure as this, then why wouldn't you go all out?!

New Year, New Me! (Not really, but who cares?) 2024 was nothing short of amazing, but as we enter 2025, I wanted to take some time to show my face and share some fun facts about myself so you can get to know me better! I'm Lauren, the owner of Elizabeth Bliss Events, and 5 fun facts about me are:
1.) I love to cook- especially pasta! My favorite thing to make is gnocchi or stew
2.) My first concert was Justin Bieber. My stepdad got me tickets for Christmas to go see Justin in San Antonio, Texas. I was 13 at the time and I bawled like a baby the ENTIRE concert.
3.) I am fascinated by ocean life, but I have thalassophobia- meaning I have a fear of being in large bodies of water when I can’t see through to the bottom. I’ve been snorkeling in the Florida Keys where the water was crystal clear and that was amazing, but I refuse to go in lakes or the ocean unless it’s shallow or I can see through the water.
4.) My go to Starbucks drink is a dragon drink with no inclusions, added peach juice, 2 pumps of vanilla, and coconut milk. This drink is heaven and tastes like peaches! I am always looking to try new drinks, so tell me your order in the comments!
5.) One thing I love about being a wedding planner, is my job doesn’t feel like work. And by that I mean I can work a 16 hour wedding day,and throughout all those hours, I don’t feel like I’m working a job. I feel like I’m helping a friend with their big day.
Do we have anything in common? Let me know down in the comments!

Do you think Taylor and Evan had to worry about how to stage the cake table aesthetically for the photos? Or to remember to bring over cake cutting utensils, a plate, forks, and napkins? No... They hired a planner to take care of all the little details of their day
