Introduction


Planning a wedding a can become a headache or wonderful experience. I have had the opportunity to plan two of my own. Both similar while yet still being very different, I had not realized that the differences reflected both sides of me. I enjoyed planning both of them and it was a learning experience from one to the other. My first wedding was what most little girls envision, you know “the fairy tale wedding.” I had the large wedding party, limos, and lots of flowers, big cake and everything else you could imagine. My second wedding was smaller, more intimate and very romantic. That is not to say that I didn’t have the flowers, wedding party and big cake; it was just a different atmosphere that was portrayed. Because of doing such a large an extravagant wedding the first time, I learned a lot of do’s and don’ts. I learned where to be practical with money and where I could splurge.
I have now begun to transition those skills to planning weddings for other people. Well, if the truth be told I have been helping with wedding planning for years. When I was younger I would help my mother, aunt, and/or godmother with other peoples wedding at our church. I guess this is where my interest and passion for weddings came from. I could watch Father of the Bride 1 & 2 and The Wedding Planner till the movies would not show anymore. That is just how much I love weddings.
I am now in the process of planning 3 weddings, one this coming October with the other two next year in May and November. Each bride wants their wedding day to have a uniqueness about it and that is where I come in to help create their special day.

  2. What an awesome business idea...a wedding planner sounds like a really creative and fun job. My sister is a photographer and loves weddings also. I am glad I have sons I can't fathom the cost in 20 years from now!
