Focal Point Designs

Focal Point Designs Focal Point Designs, is all about decorating on a budget and being creative. Focal Point Designs also provides day of set-up/tear down, as well as rentals.

Whether you're looking to decorate a wedding, bridal shower, baby shower, or store front windows, we can help make it a success. My name is Jessica Racey, and I'm a decorator that focuses on clients who are looking to decorate their special event on a budget. Sometimes clients have great ideas, but have a hard time trying to visualize how everything is to come together in the end. So, I listen to

their ideas (theme, color etc), and I work with them throughout their planning process. I am by no means a wedding planner, but a decorator who uses great deal of creativity to help clients keep within their budget. If you're looking for more information, please feel free to contact me with any questions. Have a great day! :)

Where do I even begin? When I was asked by Matt and Lindsay to decorate as well as coordinate their wedding day approximately 7 months ago, I couldn't help but get excited. Their visons, theme and color palette were right up my alley! Not to mention the amazing and talented vendors they had booked.

After having my first meeting with them, along with her mother Margaret, I knew this planning process was going to be great. From that meeting, a pinterest board was created, emails and texts were sent back and fourth, followed by a couple of site visits as well as a visit to one of my favorite florists, Sylvia's Plant Place.

On June 27th we, along with Melissa from Melissa Johnston Photography met once more at Equator Coffee followed by a site visit to go over final details, timeline and where photos going to take place. It was all coming together and really started to feel real. From that visit on there were only texts and emails sent back and fourth.

Thursday July 6th Prior Engagements, Party & Event Rentals arrived to set up the tent and hang the chandeliere and lights. Tables, chairs, cutlery, glassware were also delivered by them.

Friday July 7th was setup a day. It was also a day of torrential rain and thunderstorms. I wont lie, but it sure put a damper on how much setup could be done. We did what we could and called it a night.

Saturday July 8th. WEDDING DAY!!! This day was perfect. There were blue skies and sunshine. This day was also a busy one From start to finish. There was so much to do that I won't go into detail. All I know is that a HUGE thank you goes out to my mom and husband who helped create such a perfect wedding. They both said their vows during on intimate ceremony surrounded by 40 of their closests family and friends. Lawn games were played during cocktail hour, and all guests enjoyed a delicious meal that was cooked on site by Jolly Hog Food Truck. From there, the reception started the newlyweds mingled with family and friends and danced the night away. Actually they danced into the morning. That's how awesome their DJ was!!

Well it's clear to see that I was in love with this couple and wedding, and could go on and on, but I won't! Please have a look at these gorgeous photos taken by Melissa of Melissa Johnston Photography. They showcase just how perfect everything was.

Congrats once again Lindsay and Matt

The cake stands that are featured in this photograph along with others that have been recently added to our inventory, made their way to Temple's Sugar Bush Ltd earlier this week. These beautiful pieces are being used today as part of a high tea event that's being put on by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Association. When I delivered them there was so many pieces of beautiful vintage china that was being incorporated on the tables. And for those of you who know me, I'm in love with vintage china and mix 'n' matched pieces!!!

TBT to when I receieved my very first thank you card in the mail! It still sits upon the side of my fridge and has become my daily reminder as to why I love doing what I do :) And I will say , it was nice to receive something else rather then bills for a change as I'm sure many of you can relate. I look forward to sharing some of the amazing photos I'll be receiving soon from the lovely couple. Until then, have a wonderful day!

Hey Everyone!

Remember me? Perhaps you don't, seeing as to how my last post was October 31, 2016. Well here's a refresher. My name is Jessica, and I'm the owner of Focal Point Designs. I'm the girl who loves working with clients, listening to their decor ideas/visions, and decorate! I'm the girl who LOVES seeing the reaction of her clients when they see how their visions became a reality. I'm also that girl who had goals for 2016 and did not achieve them! I'm that girl who didn't push as hard as she could have to obtain more clientele.And I'm that same girl who neglected staying in touch with those who follow me on Facebook.

But that's ok! I'm looking at 2017 as a new year and a fresh start. I'm that same girl from 2016 but with a completely new outlook on my business. This year I have goals and I'm determined to achieve them!! My main goal will be and always has been to work with clients and make them 100% satisfied with my services. I want to see that smile upon their faces when they walk into their ceremony/reception site all decorated for the first time and it's exactly what they had visioned.

The biggest goal I have this year (which I did not accomplish last year) is my website. I had started it, but never got to the point where it was up and going. That being said, this year there will be a new website. I've been working behind the scenes on branding and a new name. Yes....Focal Point Designs will become a thing of the past for me later on this year.

So all that being said, I look forward to the challenges I have ahead of me this year. Hard work and the drive to succeed is what 2017 is all about. Here's to a new year of goals, dreams, hard work and success!!!

Love & Happiness,
Jessica -xo-
