  • Founder & Creative Director

    I’ve been chasing my dream life after dropping everything at 32 and starting over. My heart craved change, purpose, and a creative outlet. I focused inward and shifted my mindset from survival to alignment. Upala Events was born from that transformation. Named after the precious Opal Stone which represents my birth month. I was put here to share my creativity, design, and the power of uniqueness. Life isn’t meant to just be lived, it’s meant to be celebrated.

[aka: how to save without your event looking cheap] Hosting doesn’t have to mean overspending. Here’s where your money actually makes an impact and where you can cut back without anyone noticing: ✨ Spend On: • Lighting - candles, warm lamps, string lights. It instantly elevates the entire space • Tabletop essentials - quality napkins, glassware, and a clean, cohesive tablescape • Food presentation - not more food… just better plating. CHARGER PLATES! Guests remember this • Statement pieces to tie in your theme (wreath, pine garland, small bows, baby ornaments, centrepiece) 💸 Skip or Save On: • Trendy one-time decor, if it won’t last next year, it’s not worth it • Too many little knick-knacks, they crowd the room and add no impact • Over-the-top themed items, a few accents go further than an entire theme overhaul • Extra seating you don’t need, rearrange your space, look to see if cocktail tables may flow better with fewer seating spots A beautiful Christmas party is all about ambiance, flow, and thoughtful details, not how much you spend. Save & follow for more 🎄✨ #eventplanning #eventstyling #christmasdecor #lifestyle #relatable
