hi everyone!! 💕
we’ve had some new faces join lately, so I wanted to pop in, say hi, and share a little bit about me + Decor On Tap ☺️

I’m Bailee — the one-woman show behind the scenes here! I’m your go-to for cute, curated event decor + rentals, and yep… every email, setup, and backdrop? That’s all me (though I do occasionally convince a friend or fam member to tag along or help build something fun 😉)

a few fun facts about me:
🩷 I’m obsessed with all things pink + pretty (our branding totally gives it away, hehe🤭)
🎀 I love designing setups that make people say “wait… this is so cute”
🏝️I just started watching Love Island (I know I’m late!!) and I’m fully hooked — once I catch up, I wanna hear all your hot takes
🤠 I’ve been learning some new line dances lately and it’s been such a vibe

do we have anything in common?? let’s be friends 💗
