Where did the dream begin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It was actually something that I was always passionate about. When I was in high school I took an independent living class and one of the assignments was to build a life for ourselves after high school. I picked a wedding planning career for that assignment. I\u2019ve always loved weddings. Before I started my entrepreneurship, during an interview at a bridal boutique the owner could tell how passionate I was about weddings and told me to pursue a career as a planner. After planning my wedding in 2008 I knew this is what I wanted to do, but I just didn\u2019t know where to start. Once my sister in law got engaged in 2014, I enrolled myself in the QC Wedding and Event Planning course to earn my certificate to become IEWP certified.  Almost a year and half later I\u2019ve done 2 weddings and 3 more are in queue. To see my dreams come full circle has been surreal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-1.jpg\" alt=\"QC Event School Graduate's Event Planning Portfolio\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-1.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-1-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Photographer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kreephotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kree Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_you_choose_to_learn_event_and_wedding_planning_online\"><\/span>Why did you choose to learn event and wedding planning online?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Being a stay at home mom and wife it was hard to find the time to get away from home to take classes which would help achieve my career goals as a planner. Family is important to me, with a little boy in my life it was important that I was around for all those precious milestones. Being gone at school just was not an option. This was a determining factor for me to utilize the Event and Wedding Planning course that was available online. Being that the course was online, you do have to be a self-starter and be able to study without letting distractions get in the middle. Much like having your own business.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_your_course_prepare_you_for_working_in_the_field\"><\/span>How did your course prepare you for working in the field?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been good at the organization and planning aspect, but I felt like there was so much behind the scenes of the business I was missing. As anticipated, I was totally right. QC\u2019s Wedding and Event Planning course really broke it down and started from the core of your business: picking the name of your business, the back story to traditions, all of the planning worksheet tools and your mission statement. Being able to really contact potential vendors for the mock weddings was also a big plus!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-4.jpg\" alt=\"QC Event School Planning Portfolio\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-4.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-4-300x148.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Photographer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kreephotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kree Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_business_name_and_logo_is_so_darling_Can_you_tell_us_a_little_bit_about_the_inspiration_and_meaning_behind_them\"><\/span>Your business name and logo is so darling! Can you tell us a little bit about the inspiration and meaning behind them?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Littles &#8216;n Lace Events name was actually born with the help of QC\u2019s planning course. I knew I wanted to plan weddings &#038; other life events; so adding \u201cevents\u201d to the business name was easy. For the Littles \u2018n Lace, I played around a lot with key words in all of life\u2019s celebrations. For birthdays, baby showers, and bridal showers they to me felt like they were the little piece to an even bigger picture. Those smaller events led to even grander celebrations. Lace has also been something I associated with weddings and I\u2019ve always loved how rich and elegant the fabric felt.<\/p>\n<p>My logo was easy to think of yet extremely hard to find at the start of my business. The antlers were all about my upbringing. I was born into a family of hunting and all things outdoors, so I feel like that was something I wanted to show. I\u2019ve always loved flowers and floral arrangements. It all started with my best friend\u2019s mom owning her own floral design business and when we were growing up, we would always play in the shop to help her make the arrangements. I had such fond memories growing up with them and the time spent in that shop. That is what the flowers represent for me.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_portfolio_is_absolutely_stunning_Where_do_you_normally_look_for_inspiration_when_planning_events_and_weddings\"><\/span>Your portfolio is absolutely stunning. Where do you normally look for inspiration when planning events and weddings?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aww thank you! I actually prefer finding the inspiration from my clients wedding questionnaire I send out to them before our consultation. I also still love looking through magazines, and it may sound a little weird, but the structure of objects and textures inspire me a lot. I do use Pinterest since my brides love it, but sometimes it can give an unrealistic expectation or even make a wedding seem like it wasn\u2019t really theirs. So I\u2019ve been trying to pull back from the pinning a little.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-2.jpg\" alt=\"QC Event School Graduate Portfolio\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-2.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-2-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Photographer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kreephotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kree Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Many_of_our_students_have_dreams_of_owning_their_own_business_as_well_Do_you_have_any_advice_for_those_who_are_just_starting_out_in_the_industry\"><\/span>Many of our students have dreams of owning their own business as well. Do you have any advice for those who are just starting out in the industry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Take the leap! Scary right? I remember all of those feelings I had when I was thinking about it. When I first started, there were butterflies and the doubt, but the biggest thing that was driving me was my faith and God.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you are true to yourself and make sure you are ready to grow and learn from others in the industry. Some of the best advice I\u2019ve been given is to follow your gut and heart. If for some reason you feel like something isn\u2019t the best fit for you and your business, then it probably isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly try not to compare your business, life and story to someone else\u2019s. We are all on a different page, all of us have something totally different to offer our clients and the world.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_has_been_the_biggest_highlight_of_your_career\"><\/span>What has been the biggest highlight of your career?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gosh that\u2019s a tough one, I feel like I have two highlights. One of them was making it a year into my business. I know for some that may seem like nothing but it turned into something I didn\u2019t even expect. And having 3 clients within my first year is unheard of. I\u2019m forever thankful for those clients that turned into family. Also, the completion of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlesnlaceevents.com\/#!rustic-glam-wedding\/c1o3m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jon &#038; Tiffany\u2019s rustic glam wedding<\/a> was huge! That was the first venue where I worked on a complete blank slate and everything was BYO. I had never had to do that before. Seeing it completed and how happy they were at the end of the night was so rewarding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-31.jpg\" alt=\"QC Event School Planning Portfolio sample\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-31.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Marie-Luciano-31-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Photographer: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kreephotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kree Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_the_future_hold_for_you\"><\/span>What does the future hold for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The future is BRIGHT!
