Inspired Inspiration:: Lady Gaga

Each song tells a story, listen to the lyrics. Reread the text. Study the fine print.

She still lives in the same Manhattan Apartment that she lived in before she was famous. She doesn't want to loose the inspiration that created her as who she is.

That inspiration comes from the streets of New York:: the lights, the colors, the ugly and the pretty.

She believes in the people around her.

She believes in herself.

She is Lady Gaga.

This is not an infomercial for Lady Gaga. This is my platform to explain something that I call Inspired Inspiration.

So many times in the wedding world people are inspired by other people's work. They save pictures of other weddings, cut out pictures from magazines, and spend hours upon hours on
wedding blogs.

Lady Gaga is such a huge inspiration for me. You don't have to like her to understand my thoughts. If you put in her CD and listened to it from song 1 to song 14 you would hear something totally and completely different on each track. Original Talent.

Weddings are art. Their designs are created by artists. To achieve a beautiful authentic wedding design you must genuinely hold those ideas and inspiration inside you. Anyone can open a wedding magazine and duplicate, it's not hard. True talent and art can't be duplicated, they are authentic and original.

Since the day I began in the wedding business I always thought it was strange that wedding industry peers become inspired by other people's work within the same industry. Could you imagine Beyonce trying to do what Lady Gaga does? All music would sound the same AND it would destroy their individual talent.

I'm totally and completely inspired by outside inspiration. Things that make my heart beat fast. Like a store window, the cover of a magazine, a pair of shoes, a song, a bride's favorite movie, a groom's favorite restaurant when I begin the design for a bride's wedding.

When you start planning your wedding choose artists who can transform your heart and dreams into every detail of your wedding day.

It shouldn't be easy. It should be well thought out. Your wedding should answer the question:: "Who is this bride & groom?" It should be on your tables, in the lighting, in the songs being played.

This quote from Lady Gaga is how I feel in my heart.

How I will someday be someones inspired inspiration just like she is mine.
