Ikea party!

I've always liked Ikea but it took a while for me to understand the layout and dynamics of it. A couple months ago when I started going more often, I started to get the hang of the store, where its products are, how the whole purchasing thing works, etc. 

Now I can say I am a pro considering most of the decor for the last event I did was from Ikea and was shopped for, purchased, and put together a couple hours before the event! I must say that Ikea can be overwhelming and stressful, but the truth is, its just because it has sooo many ridiculously amazing options for you, its hard to choose. 

Ikea is heaven for someone on a budget or especially for an event planning company that needs multiples of whatever they are using whether that be serving platters, votives, shot glasses, wine glasses, tables or even fabric! 

Here are some of my personal favorite staples from Ikea
