Inspiring Ideas & Personality Test

Well guys, just finished up my first two assignments!

Assignment A1: Inspiring Ideas. I had to think about weddings I have attended and remember what made it a more special, interesting, and personalized event. I had to describe 3 or the special wedding elements.
I described a beautiful beach wedding with light blue accents and candles surrounding the venue. I also described a friends wedding that only had two floral arrangements, but still beautiful. And also a wedding I watched on TV that had exceptionally fantastic lighting at the reception site.

If anyone is reading, do you have something in mind that makes a wedding special to you? If so I would love to get your input on magical weddings you have witnessed!

Assignment A2: Personality Assessment. In this one my book gave me a list of traits and I had to choose 3 and describe how those 3 things would help me become a better wedding planer! I chose organization, multi-tasking, and interpersonal skills.
What 3 things make you good at your job?

Starting Out

Have you, every since you were a little girl, dreamt of your perfect wedding day? The day that you will unite with your lifetime partner for better or worse. How have you pictured it? Under the stars? On the beach? In a garden? Church? or Cathedral? I was one of those little girls who has always thought about her special day! And the special day of others.

I love color, design, fashion, and organization. I think these things are key to having great visions for big events! I think each and every wedding should be unique and have its own style!

I absolutely love TLC.. It has the greatest wedding shows, and planners! I always, always watch Whose Wedding is it Anyway. Every time a new episode comes on, I watch in fascination, hoping one day I could re-create some of those special moments with my own clients!

This is why I have decided to become a certified Wedding Planner! Last week I enrolled in an online course that will teach me everything I need to know to be a professional.. Well, except experience, and that will soon come (hopefully)!! The program is a work at your own pace guide. My goal is to complete this by January, and be on my way to creating wonderful, once in a lifetime memories for those who need it!

I got my books and DVD's in the mail today and I am going to get started first thing Monday morning!
