Introducing Soul + Oak

I am so pleased, excited, and proud to be announcing the beginning of Soul + Oak. Soul + Oak is a dream of mine, built unconsciously over years of seemingly unrelated (and some related) experiences and I am greatly humbled by the opportunity to bring it to fruition.
You may be asking, what is Soul + Oak?
Soul + Oak is just as the by-line suggests, a company that offers “Artisanal Event Décor & Rentals”. The word “artisanal” resonates with me on so many levels, which I may dive into at some later time, but what I am creating here is a business that sells beautiful handmade event décor, in collections, commissioned, and miscellaneous a la carte items, as well as handmade rentals.
The items are unique, eclectic, sometimes vintage, sometimes modern, sometimes rustic, always elegant and always authentic. I have so many ideas and ambitions for what I will incorporate as part of Soul & Oak but we all must start somewhere and for me, simple is best. Currently these unique, elegant, and authentic creations will be available to people in 4 simple ways.
1) Collections
Soul + Oak designs two event décor collections every year, one collection for the Spring/Summer Season and one collection for the Fall/Winter Season. With the purchase of a collection, our clients will have everything necessary to decorate their event with style and elegance. Our collection themes reflect current trends with unique and eclectic representations and each item is handcrafted by our artisans. Collections include everything needed for impressive tablescapes and beyond to create truly artistically inspired events. Collections are offered in two sizes to accommodate smaller and larger events. Because collections are created upon order, opportunities for customization are welcomed. 
2) Commissioned Designs
Soul + Oak offers our clients the opportunity to make their design dreams come true. Can’t find exactly the decorative piece that you are dreaming up in your head? Have a special heirloom or treasure that you would love incorporated into a decorative piece for an event or for your home? Our artisans work with our clients to interpret their decorative desires and design and create something truly one-of-a-kind.
3) A la Carte Décor
Soul + Oak designs many beautiful handmade elements for events that would be perfect accompaniments to our collections or to supplement designs done by our DIY client or by event designers. These pieces can be enjoyed as not only event décor but home décor as well.
4) Handmade Rentals
Soul + Oak leases an eclectic mix of decorative pieces for your wedding or event. The majority of our pieces are handmade and/or vintage. We strive to offer our clients an array of items that are difficult to rent from other rental companies with the knowledge that event rentals can be a cost-effective, low to no waste way to decorate for events.
Our website is in the works, so stay tuned with more ways to keep in touch with us. The main purpose of the blog will be a means to have a dynamic conversation and relationship with clients and a way to get creative energy and inspiration flowing for us all. I hope you are as excited to be along for this journey as I am. :)
