I was asked a very interesting question today at one of my favorite groups (The Professional Women’s Network of Greensboro) regarding Wedding Planning.  The question was “Who is the ideal couple for a planner other than having all the money necessary and saying “yes” to everything?”  What a great question!   Well, here are my thoughts.

Every Wedding Planner/Designer is different.  She/He as they evolve in the business will learn more about who they are as a person and what they can do best.  Questions that begin to rise up in your mind and from others tend to be the following.  What styles do I like best?  Elegant, Modern, Traditional, Whimsical, Contemporary, Chic, etc.  Do I like plan more, create more, or do both?  Do I think outside of the box?  What do I envision for weddings?  What kind of personality do I have and how does my personality work with others?  Do I like the full planning aspect, wedding day only, or both?  Am I more comfortable working on the DIY side with a Brides?   Am I crafty?  There are many more questions that arrive over time that begin to shape who you are and your selections.   I have found for me that it really has been a discovery process and continues to evolve.   I will share that the common thread of my  Brides is that they like what they see in the body of work, know that I am there for them, and will do everything in my power to make their day excellent.  

Well, I’m sure the question in your minds is who is my ideal Bride.   I actually have identified 5 types of ideal Brides I work with often.   I always know them instantly!  : )  That’s a whole different blog to share.

Thank you PWN of Greensboro for asking the questions!
