Inspirations

Preston Bailey has established himself as the foremost event designer and planner for celebrities and the affluent alike, and Inspirations was created as a response to the many clients and friends who have asked just how he conjures up the fantastical settings he is famous for. Bailey believes, "When you follow a simple concept and elaborate on it, you can create practically anything."

Inspirations is an exquisite sourcebook of ideas for producing the perfect ambience and decor for any party or special occasion. It is packed with gorgeous full-color photographs of ten events, ranging from modern to romantic, in addition to eleven spectacular signature arrangements.

Each chapter reveals the inspirational elements that originally sparked Bailey's imagination, thus offering an enlightening window into his creative process. Above all, Bailey hopes to encourage his readers to let their creativity blossom and to have fun while designing their dream event.
