We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Tucker and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tiffany, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I am naturally very detailed and organized. I also enjoy creating memorable, tangible things and experiences for others. Starting my own business was born when I decided to combine my talents and my pleasures together; however, I began designing and decorating for parties as a small hobby for friends and coworkers. Later on, my friends encouraged me to share my talents with the greater public. From there, I immediately began thinking of a name, designed my logo, created a website and so on so forth.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
We specialize in events for all occasions. To date, we have styled events for baby showers, graduation parties, birthday parties, bachelorette parties and have been hosting weekly sip & paint parties with nude male models.
As the owner, I am most proud of creating my business from scratch – literally from the ground up. I have proven to myself to be quite tech savvy. All graphics, marketing tools, website, business cards, flyers, logo, videos, merchandise, social media accounts etc, all developed and maintained solely by myself. Sometimes, I sit back in amazement with how much talent I possess.
What sets us apart from others is our mindset, skillset and ability to execute amazing content beyond imagination all while keeping your budget in mind.
We create custom and personalized events for our clients.
Belles & Whistles Event Design and Decor services include design and decor for corporate events, such as holiday parties and meetings to social events, such as birthday parties, baby showers and engagement parties.
We carefully consider your budget because we understand that every event is an investment. Belles & Whistles is committed to getting you the most for your money.
From concept and design, Belles and Whistles will make your vision come to life.
It is our goal that each event be unique, each detail is attended to with intimate care and to ensure our clients are worry free throughout the process.
Our clients love us because we go beyond their expectations.
We are very passionate about our work. We are extremely organized, detailed, friendly, professional, honest, dependable and highly creative.
Getting to where I am today was not easy, as I face challenges daily. It is not so much about the challenges, it is more so how you overcome the challenges and learn from them. Everyday is a learning experience.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There are a bunch of amazing spots in Atlanta! I would definitely take them to: Slutty Vegan (Great burgers and great energy!)
Botanical Gardens (Beautiful!)
Lenox Mall (I mean, why not, its a landmark right? lol)
National Center for Civil and Human Rights (Lets get into our history)
Centennial Olympic Park or Piedmont Park (Lets get some fresh air and enjoy the views!)
Little Five Points (Lets get into some artistic fun and great eateries!)
Atlantic Station (Time to shop!)
Trap Music Museam (Who doesn’t love a little trap 101?)
Phipps Plaza (Only if you’re feeling fancy!)
Atlanta Nightlife (So many to choose from!)
Top Golf (Lets play!)
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I definitely would like to shoutout my “cubicle cuties.” Years ago the “cubicle cuties” originated as two of my coworkers, but as time passed, our relationship grew into a very close and genuine friendship. My “cubicle cuties” motivated and encouraged me to start my business. I would like to say Thank You and I love you ladies for that!
Secondly, I would like to send a major shoutout to the Almighty One for blessing me with my talents and the drive to keep pushing through challenges; and allowing me to continue to believe in myself whenever there is doubt along the way.
Last but definitely not least, I would like to send a vital shoutout to my family, friends, associates and everyone who supports me in all ways possible. Your support is greatly appreciated, goes unnoticed and goes a long way. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!
