The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

Two Queen Creek sisters make their dreamy designs your reality.

Brandie DiCosmo and her sister, Rachelle Imlay created Sonoran Dreams Events a year and a half ago. They began as a slumber party planning company using teepees with fun pillows, and themes. Since then, they have expanded to balloon garlands, picnics, and more. Their inspiration for starting their business really came after Brandie had kids, and with six of them (ranging in age from 8 months to 12 years) there were lots of birthdays to plan.

Brandie didn't have any formal training in events or design, but says she always had an 'eye' with a clear vision, and was the unofficial party planner of the family. Rachelle is an Army veteran, and is busy with setup, delivery and client relations. Their most popular design has been the 'boho' look with blush pinks, natural wood tones, and cream colored fabrics. Ultimately, the decor and set up brings to life a dreamy and creative playscape that draws people in.

Brandie and Rachelle have laid out rows of teepees with every attention to detail and opulent balloon arches for their clients. The balloons are put together ahead of time but they have the set up down pat and can take just an hour to stage. They make life even easier after delivery and set up by picking up the next day as well. Whatever your celebration, Sonoran Dreams can help you create a fun and unique event. www.sonorandreamsevents
