An event decorator plans the aesthetic and atmosphere of an event. In this career, you work closely with your clients to create a theme, plan the decor, and make sure that everything is in its place. You usually work on all elements of the space, including the colors, the lighting, and other things that bring the design together. You also work with the vendors, the event planners, and other people that play a role in getting a venue together for an event. It is common to work on a freelance or contract basis in this field, so you have freedom in the events you choose to decorate.
