Before the design, the brief

Your first event brief.

Before choosing colours and materials, jot down these essentials. Mark what is confirmed and what still needs a decision. Use the list to prepare for your conversation with Sivan or your event producer.

1. The occasion and what you want guests to experience.
2. The date, venue and expected guest count.
3. Your design budget, separate from the overall event budget.
4. The spaces to style: entrance, tables, bar or stage.
5. A few inspiration photos and any brand guidelines.
6. Setup times and responsibilities agreed with the venue and producer.
