Fresh from the wedding planner diary
My vegan bride Marisa surprised me with a thank you gift bag after her wedding on Friday. As their happy planner I thought about how much I love my business. Other than sweet surprises but what else does a wedding planner love about the different parts of a profession, listed as one of the top stressful jobs?
We all enjoy different things about weddings.
For me it’s
- meeting new couples
- exploring their theme, the unique quality of what makes a couple so perfect for each other
- assisting to give life to their ideas and manifest it in the decor and type of event
- creating unusual center pieces and settings
- integrating lots of unique pieces from grand ma’s tea pots and lace to up-cycled signage and art
- going on thrift and antic store hunts for the right decor from silver containers or fairy tale figurines
- to set and direct day of stage like one of the best stage producers in Hollywood
- making sure the process is fun for all
- and yeah, we reduced trash and the impact on the environment
And then after the wedding we fly like a butterfly on the love we receive. Marisa was so insightful and sweet to tend to my preferences; the gifts were organic and cruelty free. Brad and Marisa’s card really is the best reward and makes a planner thrive.
The actual effort to buy a card, and an eco friendly one in this case, to write a note and mail it is so endearingly retro sweet.
Thank you, Marisa and Brad. You are amazing.
