Styling is an art that goes beyond making something "look pretty". It is a narrative, an explanation of how a space or event is used to create an emotive message or response. The way a space is styled and presented will completely change the feeling and message that's conveyed. The influence of social media has increased customer expectations for beautifully styled events and settings. In this class, we work through Styling Essentials which will help you to create settings that spark an emotional connection for those attending events or celebrations. Styling Services range from smaller settings all the way through to larger events. In this class we concentrate on smaller settings - Understanding the styling process to create visual impact when styling an event or scene  
- Applying the Principles and Elements of Design  
- Creating your own individual style  
- Creating a Mood Board for your customers usingm Canva  
- Using different mediums including Balloons, Flowers & Props to create a styled scene.  
We will use the inspiring illustrations of Megan Hess to create a scene that embodies the fashion influences of Italy. The design is finalised closer to the time of the class to ensure it is current.

Given that 80% of consumers rely on social media to make their purchasing decisions, we need to ask ourselves... How are we communicating with them and are you meeting your market?
