Which college or university in charlotte nc offers wedding planning courses?
November 20, 2009
I go to cpcc but they don’t offer wedding planning courses, does anybody know which college or university does?
You don’t need a degree to do that, and most wedding planners don’t have one. I really doubt any accredited college offers courses in it. You could probably study event planning in general, or you could just get a business degree and open your own business.
How can I encourage my fiance to be more actively involved in wedding planning?
November 18, 2009
I don’t expect him to micromanage every last detail but this is OUR day not MY day and I want him to have equal input. I want him to feel like this is our wedding and not just my wedding. I want it to display our style not my style.
He says he wants to be involved but when I ask him questions or try to bring up planning (which I infrequently do) he always says something like, "I don’t know," "What do you think," "Let’s talk about it later," etc.
Sorry, but that simply isn’t a guy thing.
As men, we could care less about the difference between mauve and taupe.
You need to enlist the help of your girlfriends or your parents in this stuff.

How to Achieve Wedding Planning Success on Your Special Day
November 12, 2009
If you’ve recently become engaged, chances are you are on cloud nine. This can be a wonderful time, but it can also be stressful. Daydreaming about getting married is one thing. Actually planning a wedding and reception is a whole other thing. The most important thing is to plan ahead and stay organized.
When picking a wedding date, make sure that you’re allowing yourself the time you need to plan the wedding of your dreams. While weddings can successfully come together in six months, you’ll save yourself a lot of grief if you give it a year or a year-and-a-half.
Once you have a date figured out, then it’s time to sit down with your fiancé and discuss what you both hope to include in your big day. This way you can find out what you’re on the same page about and/or where you need to compromise. Remember, every marriage has compromise, so you better get used to it while in the planning process of your wedding.
The first things you need to get in order are the site of the ceremony and the site of the reception. You should have both of these picked out and signed on no later than a year before the wedding date.
This is also a good time to start wedding gown shopping. This is probably the most important dress you’ll ever purchase, so you want to be able to take your time. Another thing to consider is that most wedding gowns are actually made after they are ordered. That means the earlier you can find your dream gown, the better.
About eight months before the wedding start meeting with potential caterers, photographers, DJs, and florists. You will also need to make a final decision on what your bridesmaids are going to be wearing.
By six months before the wedding, start to put together a list of guests and their addresses. It will take some time to finalize your list before you’re able to order invitations.
Three months before the wedding things really start to pick up. There are many smaller tasks that you just can’t worry about sooner than this. At this point you should shop for a wedding cake, wedding rings, tuxedos, and pick out a florist.
Six to eight weeks before the wedding is a great time to send out the invitations. Make sure to give your guests enough time to make necessary travel arrangements.
Don’t forget the marriage license. About a month before the wedding make sure you and your fiancé take care of that.
A week before the wedding call every vendor and location to confirm details. It’s also a good idea to put together little index cards with all of their contact information. Then you can hand out those cards to your parents and attendants. That way, on the big day, they can handle the communication for you.
Remember, planning something so big doesn’t come without some stress. However, the right planning and organization can ease things for you, so you can truly enjoy your wedding day.

Wedding Planning Career – Its Unlimited Opportunities
November 2, 2009
Wedding planning as a profession is catching on in a big way. It is a very lucrative career and is attracting a lot of young talent who are willing to work very hard in order to add their touch of speciality to a couple’s most memorable lifetime event. If you want to try your hand at it, there is no dearth of information on how to go about it. According to veterans in the profession of wedding planning, a wedding planner with loads of enthusiasm and the right public relations skill just cannot fail to make a success of it.
The following might enumerate a few crucial skills.
You need to enjoy interacting with people
You need to be enthusiastic in planning of big parties
You need to be good at negotiations of ideas
and more importantly, of prices
You need to have the ability to successfully mediate
in disagreements regarding details
You need to have an eye for small details and all round activities and
You need to keep keep your cool at all times.
You will also be required to know the traditional customs and requirements of different religions as religion is the very basis of a wedding ritual. You must continually upgrade your information of the industry via the magazines dedicated to bridal and planning of parties and by networking among the leading members of the community. Your efforts must revolve around not only on following the traditional ways of the society but also add some novel aspect so that the bride and her family will be happy that their wedding will be unique and the best so far.
To this end, be prepared to work irregular hours. Bridal consultants and wedding planners are often known to work 12-14 hours at a stretch. Most productive days are weekends and evenings compensated by relaxation during the week. All this seems worthwhile when you remember that your profit is approximately 10 percent of the wedding cost.
When you look around, you find that most wedding planners have found an entry into the industry through bridal attire or interior decoration, or floral desiging, etc. You can also study in this field. No doubt, you will be advised by experts to do a little bit of market research to see who else is offering such expertise in the area and explore whether you can build such a business over time. You can get guidance from the Association of Bridal Consultants which is the official nationwide organization of the industry of wedding planning. Such organizations can provide a lot of information on your chosen career in this field.

How do I start my wedding planning?
October 31, 2009
I’ve just recently gotten engaged and now need to start planning everything and I’m lost on where to start or even what my overall budget could be. I want a larger, more formal wedding, but I don’t want to spend tons of money. I live in Iowa so there isn’t many grand places to have a reception or get married at. Any ideas?
start with some of these questions & see if you can answer them:
what is your budget?!?!
what season? then you can narrow down a date
guest list?
what kind of ceremony & reception do you want?
hometown C&R or destination wedding? (location)
who do you want as your MOH? BMs?
colors? how many do you want? (i have 3)
flowers?
menu? what is your fav. meal? what is your FI fav meal?
That’s a LOT right there. oh, and FYI, we went through ~10 places before we picked our location. GL.

Wedding Planning: Do Not Miss These
October 26, 2009
There are a lot of tasks to be completed when you are planning for your wedding. You will need to be very careful when you are doing the planning work. You should never overlook the tasks. As a matter of fact, wedding planning is never an easy task.
You may wonder why wedding planning is so difficult. You may also want to know what the items involved are. In fact, there are a lot of items you need to think about. The wedding favor, invitation, and reception hall are just some of the examples of them. Besides all these items, you will also need to plan for your honeymoon. You will need to at least confirm the air tickets in advance.
You will have a schedule for your wedding planning. It is not difficult to set the schedule. You may want to read some bridal magazines or visit some online wedding forums in order to get some tips to set your schedule. You will need to list all the items involved. You will also need to layout the budget of them.
One thing you need to remember is to stick to your pre-set schedule. A lot of couples just fail to stick to the schedule. However, you will just ruin your wedding plan if you cannot really stick to it. For example, your guests may not have the time to reply you if you send the invitation too late. As a result, you must go back to your schedule from time to time. You are doing that in order to make sure that you will be working according to your schedule.
You should use a notebook or a diary to keep track of your own planning schedule. Of course it is totally fine for you to put the data in the computer. As a matter of fact, a lot of couples will find it more convenient to store the data in the mobile phone since it is already a very powerful computer. The advantage of this is that you will bring along with your mobile phone everyday and it will be very easy for you to keep track of your schedule. However, you should remember to backup the data from time to time. You will just lose everything if you lose your mobile phone.
In fact, you do not just use your mobile phone for keeping track of your wedding planning schedule. It can also be a useful tool when you are doing your research. In most cases you can take photos with your cell phone. When you visit a wedding vendor, you may take photos of the items you love and this will help you a lot when you are making your final decisions. However, you will need to make sure that you are allowed to take photos of the items.
Remember, you should start planning for your wedding as early as possible. This is because wedding planning is a time consuming job. If you have enough time to do so, the chance is that you will be planning a more wonderful event!
