If you go to my profile you'll find out that yes, I'm a wedding planner, but that is all it will tell you about the subject. I haven't described what drew me to the profession, what I like about it, or what fun things I've learned while being in the business. So let me tell you exactly why I think being a wedding planner rocks!
1. You have a reason to be a hopeless romantic; watching rom-coms 24/7.
2. You get to make people smile constantly! It's YOUR JOB TO MAKE THEM HAPPY. Making them happy makes me happy.
3. Smelly smelly flowers. I love flowers, in all shapes and sizes, and when I'm helping a couple choose their flowers it makes the little Earth girl in me jump with glee.
4. Have you ever had fantastically catered food? I have. The best caterers I know work primarily on weddings.
5. You're both the logical business woman and the creative designer. It's the best of both worlds; especially for people like me who are left AND right-brained.
6. You're not just a wedding planner; you also play therapist, best friend, chauffeur, and delivery service.
7. Big hair, little hair, lots of hair, no hair... all the pretty 'dos with flowers, veils, pearls, etc. Whatever the bride wants she gets!
8. Pretty dresses, duh! I'm typically the type of person who likes what society refers to as the more "masculine" things, but when it comes to wedding dresses I'm a total girl. Bring on the chiffon, the tulle, the lace, the rhinestones...just bring it all on! Then slap a veil on and put a bouquet of stunning flora in your hands. There is nothing better than seeing a bride weep with joy and excitement when she realizes that she's found the dress she's going to take her vows in.
