800 guests. Africa Energy Week. One big learning curve.
We recently completed one of our biggest events yet, and here are a few of my takeaways.
Corporate events are a completely different ball game to weddings.
In corporate, you’re often one part of a much bigger picture. With weddings, you become part of a couple’s most important day, and that connection is something I value deeply.
For this event, our team of 8 put in a combined 120 hours of work. And that’s before admin, planning and logistics even enter the picture.
We did it. And I’m incredibly proud of the team.
But it also got me thinking.
As a business owner who believes flowers should be more than just an add-on, experiences like these remind me of the work, skill, time and people behind every arrangement.
Flowers might be one line item on a budget, but they are never just flowers to me.
And I think that’s something worth remembering.
