Over the past 3 years, we've received so many styling & design inquiries from supportive customers who were in search of an extra set of eyes to help them do everything from brightening up a room in their house, lending a helping hand in the hunt for vendors (florists, wall art sourcing, invitation designers, furniture sources, etc.) and/or asking to use specific display pieces in the store for an event they were throwing. When it comes to making things just a bit prettier or pulled together, I always jump at the chance to help. After all, you learn quite a few tips and tricks along the way while setting up/running two stores.

Creating inspiration boards, understanding color, sourcing vendors, keeping within a budget and coordinating specific information with everyone from contractors to graphic designers are just some of the skills I've picked up throughout this adventure. In addition to learning how to wear many hats and stay true to a specific vision, I've also met so many wonderful people (including some of our shop girls who are creative freelancers) to call on for design/business needs or refer others to. It takes a village! But sometimes it really helps to have someone point you in the right direction. We can do that for you.



Meeting with customers and discussing what their goal is and fine-tuning a way to successfully reach that goal is what makes me so happy to go to work each day...and that's just with clothing or gift options! After privately working with customers on sourcing needs and design consultations, I want to open it up to more projects.

So, what comes next is spending the next few months organizing just how we can help you with any of your design and styling needs.

At the moment, we are accepting inquiries for small projects such as room re-designs, small event design/styling (birthday parties, showers, cocktail parties, and at-home parties), and retail consultations.

We want to work closely with you to narrow down your vision and effortlessly achieve it. Please email info@alovelyuniverse.com to get started.
