The Curated DIY Planning Kit

$47 — My design methodology, built into a digital tool.

I design luxury events for a living. This kit is everything I use to think through a design — the same framework, the same questions, the same process — packaged into an interactive tool you can use on your own.

Not a generic planning template. Not a printable checklist. A designer's actual methodology, built so you can work through it yourself.

My Design Methodology. In Your Hands.

I'm Ashley Gallon — an event designer and floral stylist based in Nacogdoches, Texas. I design weddings, quinceañeras, corporate events, and luxury celebrations throughout East Texas.

But not everyone needs full-service design. Some brides want to do it themselves — they just need someone to show them how a designer thinks. Not what to buy. Not where to shop. How to THINK through a design so the result doesn't look like a Pinterest board threw up on a banquet hall.

That's what this kit is. It's not a shopping list. It's a framework. Four modules that walk you through the same process I use when I design an event from scratch — design direction, budget reality, styling decisions, and floral planning. You bring the vision. The kit brings the methodology.

Who This Kit Is For

This kit isn't for everyone. Here's who it's built for:

The DIY bride who has taste but needs structure. You know what you like. You just don't know how to organize it into a cohesive design. This kit gives you the framework.

The planner who wants a designer's perspective. Maybe you're planning your own wedding, quinceañera, or milestone celebration and you keep collecting inspiration but can't make decisions. This kit helps you stop pinning and start deciding.

The bride who isn't sure if she needs full-service yet. Maybe you're early in planning and not sure whether to invest in full-service design or DIY it. Work through the kit first. If you get to the end and realize you want a designer — schedule a Discovery Call and we'll talk.

What's Inside

Four modules. Each one tackles a different part of the design process — the same parts I work through for every client.

Design Workbook

This is where it starts. Not with colors or flowers — with the feeling. What do you want your event to feel like when guests walk in? What's the vibe, the energy, the first impression? The Design Workbook walks you through translating a feeling into a design direction — color palette, texture choices, spatial layout, and the overall aesthetic framework. This is the foundation. Everything else builds on it.

Budget Tracker

A beautiful design means nothing if it breaks your budget. The Budget Tracker helps you map out what matters most to you and allocate your spend accordingly. Not a generic spreadsheet — a prioritization tool that helps you decide where to invest and where to save based on what will actually impact your guests' experience.

Styling Formula

This is where most DIY events fall apart — the styling. The Styling Formula breaks down how to actually assemble the pieces: table layout, height layering, focal points, negative space, and the details that make a room feel designed instead of decorated. These are the same principles I use on every install. Now they're yours.

Floral Guide

Florals can make or break an event. The Floral Guide walks you through how to plan your florals like a designer — what blooms work together, how to build a palette, where to invest in florals for maximum impact, and where you can simplify. You'll understand why certain arrangements look expensive and others look cheap — and how to make sure yours land on the right side of that line.

Why This Isn't Another Planning Template

You can find free planning templates anywhere. Pinterest has thousands. Amazon has workbooks. Google has spreadsheets.

Here's what those don't have: a designer's brain behind them.

This kit wasn't built by a blogger. It wasn't built by someone who planned one wedding and turned it into a PDF. It was built by a working event designer who designs weddings, corporate events, quinceañeras, and luxury celebrations for real clients with real budgets and real venues.

The difference shows up in the questions the kit asks. A generic template asks "what's your color palette?" This kit asks "what do you want the room to feel like — and what colors support that feeling?" A generic template asks "what's your flower budget?" This kit asks "where will florals have the most visual impact in your space?"

That's the difference between planning and designing. And that's the difference between this kit and everything else on the market.

If you decide you'd rather have a designer do this for you — that's what I do. Schedule a Discovery Call and we'll talk about full-service design. The kit is the DIY path. Full-service design is the done-for-you path. Both are valid. The question is which one fits where you are right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a PDF or a digital tool?

It's an interactive digital tool that runs in your browser. No PDF to download, no app to install. You work through the modules on screen, your progress saves automatically, and you can print a clean summary when you're done. It works on desktop, tablet, and phone.

Can I use this for any type of event?

Yes. The methodology applies to weddings, quinceañeras, corporate events, milestone parties, showers, and any celebration where the design matters. The framework is the same — you just bring your event's specific details.

Do I need design experience to use this?

No. That's the point. The kit walks you through the thinking process — you don't need to know design theory. You just need to know what you like and what you want the event to feel like. The kit handles the rest.

How is this different from free planning guides?

Free guides give you blank spaces to fill in. This kit gives you a designer's framework to think through. It's the difference between a blank canvas and a canvas with a composition sketch already laid out. One requires you to know what you're doing. The other shows you.

Can I upgrade to full-service design after using the kit?

Absolutely. Many clients start with the kit, realize they'd rather have a designer handle it, and schedule a Discovery Call. The kit helps you clarify your vision — which makes our conversation about full-service design much more productive if you decide to go that route. Explore my wedding design, floral styling, or elevated installations services to see what full-service looks like.

What happens to my data?

Everything you enter stays in your browser's local storage. It doesn't get uploaded to a server, it doesn't get shared, and it doesn't get tracked. Your planning data is yours. Clear your browser data and it's gone — so don't clear your browser while you're mid-planning.

How do I access the kit after purchasing?

After checkout, you'll receive a link to the digital tool. Bookmark it — that's your kit. You can return to it anytime from any device, and your progress saves automatically.
