We spoke with Angelina Olivares with Olive Party Creations on what inspired her to start her company, their services and favorite wedding day stories! Read on to hear all about it.
What inspired you to start this company?
I was inspired to start Olive Party Creations because of the support from my husband and family. I have always really loved balloons, growing up as a kid I did not get to have balloon displays for my birthdays, tough times! When I got older I began to create my own balloons displays for my kids, it brought me so much joy to me and my children. Balloons are awesome they bring life to the events, they set the mood and bring warming vibes to hearts of the guest. So I decided set a tradition for my kids and family that for their birthdays I would create a balloon display for them. I began to get better and better in creating displays, that people started to ask me to do some for them. When friends would see my work done at my kids parties, they would always compliment my work, and they began looking forward to my next creative design. I am bless to come from a big family of creative artistry, I began to get inspired by friends and family who have small businesses, to start my own company to help people with there inspiration and vision for their events. I am here to share my artistry with the world. Olive Party Creations is here for you!!

What is one favorite client story and why?
My favorite client story will have to be a set up we did for a ladies’ 50th birthday. She had a Mardi Gras theme. I am not very fond of Mardi Gras colors because they seem to clash in my opinion but this is what she wanted so we made up the best design we could come up with. I shocked myself how good it looked because I didn’t think I was capable of making it look good with the color scheme. But I still was not sure it came out nice. When our client got to the party and came in to where the balloon ring set up was, she stop dead in her tracks and put her hand over her mouth and was so surprised, her eyes light up and she began to cry. I was like “Oh no she does not like it” That was not the case she love it!! The tears were of joy, she said and That is when I knew I was in the right business. The amount of joy and gratitude on our clients face was so satisfying and confirming that this is what we were meant to do! I will never forget the look on our clients face and how happy she was. Sharing this story ever time bring me joy, and this is what Olive Party Creations strives to provide for our clients.
What is your best planning advice or tip for couples?
My best advice for new couples going through the wedding experience is to frame your wedding around who you as a couple are, let this be your compass as your journey begins. One thing I regret from my wedding experience is listening to what others thought I should have or do at my wedding versus what I actually wanted. Example I went with a photographer that was friends with my parents, versus one I wanted and to this day my wedding photos are a bit sour. I also spent so much money on a dress that I also got rushed into picking, and invited guests that weren’t there for me but for my family. Needless to say lessons learned, plan around your wants as a couple not around others.
