New Logo Look

New Year, New Logo 

It's a new year with a new direction for Fizzy Party.    Fizzy Party has been bringing you party inspiration for 6+ years and will continue to bring you party inspiration.  But this is 2019 and I'm taking Fizzy Party into an exciting new venture, Wedding Consulting 👰💍  You're going to be seeing a lot of changes around here.  Starting with a fresh look to the logo. 

When I started Fizzy Party I reached out to Michele of Brave Creative Design  because I can style a party but I suck at graphic design.  I had NO clue what I wanted my logo to look like.  I knew I wanted hot pink because I love poppin bright coloures.  I wanted some glittery element because I love glittery things and my friends can't look at something glittery without thinking of me.  I knew I wanted it to express fun and I wanted a unique coloured background. A colour you didn't see on a lot of other logos.  For fonts, I had no clue.  I honestly really don't pay attention to fonts.  

Michele took my vague ideas and created something I thought expressed Fizzy Party.  The hot pink was included in the font, the glittery gold confetti at the bottom, the fun bubbles coming out of the Y like it's a glass of bubbly.  The teal background is definitely not a colour you see in a lot of logos.  I liked the logo she created for me.   Thank goodness for graphic designers.  

Old Logo Look

Here we are in 2019 and I'm so PUMPED for this year!! I'm super excited about this year and this excitement called for a fresh look to the logo.   When I contacted Michele  I think she was excited to give my logo a fresh look too.  I told her I wanted MORE colour, brighter colours, more confetti fun. I wanted it to express the fun, bright, personalized, you do you wedding feel for my new Wedding Consulting.  The colours I chose were hot pink, bright orange, lime green and bright yellow.  I chose these colours because I'm drawn to them and they were our wedding colours.

Michele was itching to remove the coloured background and I said, "Go for it!"  One thing I like to do when working with vendors is give them an outline and my thoughts on what I'm looking for and let them run with it.  The services they offer are what they specialize in and I do not specialize in graphic design.  I really like the white background, it makes the bright colours POP! The gold glittery confetti on the bottom of the logo was replaced by colourful fun confetti.  I LOVE it!

Business Goals for 2019

My Business Goals for 2019

Is anyone else feeling like 2019 is special?  That it's finally your year!  I don't know what it is about this year but I'm feeling on FIRE!!!!

I took December to seriously sit down with my day planner and got all the birthday's written in and even made notes when to mail off birthday cards.  Yes. Actual snail mail birthday cards.  I love sending cards to my friends.  Knowing how much happiness something so little can bring makes me happy.

I also put in any big things coming up and deadlines of when I need to complete things.  I'm so tired of falling behind and scrambling when there's no need to.  I just need to get it in the planner and I'll stay on top of things.

Just getting all that stuff in my planner made me feel so on top of things, on FIRE and excited for 2019!

Ready to take on 2019 like a boss 

That fire propelled me to sit down and really get my business goals listed out. By listing out my business goals it will keep me focused and taking steps every day, every month to achieve them.  Because friends, I have some BIG audacious goals for this year. 

Word of the Year

I don't have a word of the year this year.  I'm taking this year to focus on my vision board, not a word.  Because dang it if these vision boards don't actually work!   And this years vision board has some seriously BIG goals on it. 

The Big Picture Look at my Business Goals 2019

As I said earlier, there is something about 2019.  I have felt so organized, on fire, Pumped! I know in my heart that this year is going to be a big year of growth, accomplishment and success.  I have set some big audacious freaking me out to my core in a good way goals.  I finally understand what all those highly successful people mean when they say, If your dreams don't scare you, you're not dreaming big enough. 

Let's Take a Look Shall We

1. Launch my wedding consulting 

I've been styling parties for 6+ years and while it's been fun and I'll still be hosting parties and bringing you inspiration, I'm putting the majority of my focus on wedding consulting.  This is one of those freaking me out in a good way but I know in my heart this is what I'm meant to do big goals. The reason it's freaking me out is because I can actually see how successful this is going to be. 

Why a wedding consultant instead of a planner?  I don't want to plan your whole wedding from start to finish.  That doesn't light me up.  I want to work with the couples who want to plan their own wedding but need a little help here and there.  Couples who this is their second marriage and they want more than a court house wedding but not the big wedding.  Couples who it's their first or second wedding and they want a more casual vibe, no seating charts, smaller guest count, no four-course meals.  So basically, my wedding!  HA HA

I was telling a friend about this and she said, "oh my GOSH, this is your passion. You have a twinkle in your eye and you're just lit up." 

2.  My First Booth at a Bridal Show 

I told you I'm going BIG.  I'll be setting up a booth at my first every bridal show in February.  I'm excited to connect with so many couples and be the service they've been looking for.   My booth will of course reflect me. Colourful, full of energy, and fun.  

3. Pinners Conference 

After February I'm heading right into March and down to California to teach at the Pinners Conference.   Yep, this goal is definitely freaking me out in a good way.  I'll be teaching about the top trends in wedding reception table centerpieces to possibly 150 people!  I'm also offering a kit for sale that will be PACKED full of information for the couple planning their own wedding.  Fast forward to November and I'll be teaching at the Pinners Conference in Arizona.  I'm SO excited for these opportunities and to be able to reach so many people.  If even just a few people walk away from my classes with ideas for their wedding, that will be a success. 

4. Bridal Workshop 

I'm really excited for this workshop I'll be hosting with some other wedding vendors. It's still in the planning stages so I can't tell you much. It will probably be in May and if you're getting married later in the year or next year, you'll want to attend.  The workshop is going to be full of so much valuable information. 

This is going to be a year of reaching goals, crushing them, growth and success.  What goals do you have for this year?

Vision Board 2018

Vision Board 2018

Do vision boards really work? 

I was never one to create vision boards.  They were too woo woo for me.  But for some reason I decided to create one last year.  I was feeling  a pull to make some changes to Fizzy Party and take it to bigger places I knew it could go.  I felt I was playing too small and wanted to go bigger.  I was also feeling like the universe was telling me to embrace what I was hearing from friends, followers and fellow bloggers.  That I should go into coaching because I'm good at motivating, inspiring and encouraging people.   So a lot of what I put on my 2018 vision board was for a direction I thought I was going to take Fizzy Party and by the end of the year decided to go in a different direction.  And not go into coaching. 

Small Steps Every Day

I added this quote to the my vision board to remind myself that taking small steps every day would bring me closer to completing my goals.  To help remind me that even though it doesn't seem like I'm making progress, I really am. This came true. I took small steps every day and made big progress. 

Taking Fizzy Party on the Road 

Pic from Thrillist 

I feel so blessed that many of Fizzy Party's followers wish they could attend my parties and craft workshops and have asked me to please come to their state so they could be a part of them.  I had a vision of renting an Airstream  because they're so cool and taking a road trip around the U.S. hosting parties where my followers lived.  Having fun connecting with you all and of course documenting it on the blog and social media.  It would have been SO fun!  

ALT Summit 

Pic Interiors and Icing 

I had so many people telling me I'm good at encouraging, motivating and inspiring people, am a strong confident person and should teach about that at a conference. I had no idea what I would teach because I'm just being me.  I seriously thought about it but every time conferences called for speakers I didn't apply. I just didn't know what I would teach about.  ALT Summit was one of the conferences that was suggested to me as one that would be a good one for me to apply to. I never did. But I did apply to Pinners Conference and am speaking there in 2019! So in a way, this came true. 

Tassels and Tastemakers 

Pic Biz Bash 

I love Tassels & Tastemakers events.  I put this on my vision board because I wanted to throw a BIG bash like Tassels & Tastemakers. Renting a big space, putting all my styling skills to work and inviting a lot of people.  Friends, Fizzy Party followers, fellow bloggers. I could picture how fun it would be.  I knew it wouldn't actually happen because those kinds of parties are expensive.  But their events push me to keep throwing parties and work my way up to throwing a big one. 

Adopting a Black Cat or Two 

We had to say good bye to our baby in May of 2017. If your a pet lover you know how much of a loss this is.  We knew we eventually wanted more kitties but needed time. I put Jasper on my vision board to remind me of this sweet baby and that we would eventually fill our home with more kitties.  In July of 2018 we welcomed black cats Healey and Austin to our family.  

Party Party 

Pic Glitter Guide 

I added this picture to my board to remind myself to host more parties. And more FUN parties.  I love hosting parties because that means connecting with my friends. I didn't host as many parties as I wanted to because I was too busy trying to figure out which direction I would take Fizzy Party in. 

Retreat in the Woods 

When I put this picture on my vision board for 2018 I was sure I would be hosting a retreat in the woods in an adorable cabin.  That's because at the beginning of 2018 I thought I was headed toward taking Fizzy Party into coaching.  That didn't happen. I decided not to go into coaching.  I still think it would be a lot of fun to host a retreat of some kind in an adorable cabin. 

Beach Picnic Styled Shoot 

I can not find this picture again. I put this on the board to represent beach trips with my husband who works far too many hours.  We did make it to the beach a few times but not as many times as I had wanted.  

Beach Retreat

Not only did I think I was going to be hosting a retreat in the woods at an adorable cabin but I also thought I'd be hosting one at the beach.  The beach is so relaxing and renewing.  This didn't happen either.  But wouldn't that be FUN! 

Celebrate Wins 

Darling Dozen

I put this photo on my board to remind me to celebrate my wins along the way.  To be thankful and grateful for all the opportunities that came my way. 

Always Sparkle 

Pic Oh Happy Day 

I had to add this picture to my board because it represents my inner energy, sparkly personality that shines through.

Set Goals and Crush Them 

Sam's Simple Décor on Etsy 

I had to add this one to my board. Pretty self-explanatory. 

I'd love to hear in the comments if you created a vision board and if you feel like they work.
