Intern Aimee Share's: What Do Planner's Do?

"What Do Planners Do" PowerPoint is a presentation that portrays the basic idea behind the responsibilities an event planner takes part in.   


The first slide, above, is a simple look at the goal of a wedding planner.  The goal of a wedding planner always is the same; the planner’s job is to help the client, host or hostess with the planning process.  Even though the goal of a wedding planner is always the same, the planner’s job is ever changing from event to event, wedding to wedding!!  This is what makes planning exciting and rewarding. :-)

  
The second slide that is shown above gives a sneak peak at a few of the key components to planning.  Budget is the most important component to the planning process.  A sounding board is a close second behind budget!  If the planner is not going to be supportive and listen to the clients wants and needs, than forget it, find another planner!!  Organization is third as one of the most important key components and knowing the trends as a planner is the fourth most important component.  The following slide goes into more detail with each key component that is listed above.  


  • The first and foremost important key component is the budget. Without a budget the client, as well as the planner, will not know which vendors to choose or what options the client will have.  
  • The second most important key component is the sounding board.  The planner needs to listen to the client’s budget, wants, needs, vision and ideas of their special day.  This is such an important component and goes hand in hand with the budget.  Knowing and listening to the budget is the first step to begin planning this special occasion.  

  • The third key component is organization.  Organization goes a long way in the planning industry.  The planner must know and coordinate multiple schedules and appointments with themselves, clients and vendors.  This will assure a smooth process in decision making as well as the day of the event. 

  •  The fourth crucial key components are trends.  Knowing trends within the industry will help the planner and client create a tasteful, up to date, color coordinated event.  It always helps if the planner is up to date with the most current trends in the wedding and event industry.  This can assist the client with a vision and/or ideas!
All four key components are so crucial throughout the entire planning process.  They go hand in hand with one another through each step and help all the ends meet to create a beautiful event and memories!  

Great job Aimee, very well said. Readers what else do Planner's do? Give your input as well!! :-D 

Sincerely,

Inspiration Comes to Life: Wedding Planning!

Getting married is a great part of life! It includes two people who are truly in love bringing two families together to share in their special occasion. Inspiration comes in all forms. It can transpire from just seeing a color, shape, design etc or it can evolve based off an initial vision.

On October 3, 2010 a year ago today Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC had the luxury of planning a fall wedding! Inspiration was flowing throughout the whole process. As I was going through pictures I found the Inspiration cake photo and wanted to give you a before and after of the cake this couple used for their wedding.

Jennifer & Mike wanted a fall wedding and loved the clean white look of a cake but wanted the deep fall colors to be displayed in their cake. We viewed many pictures of different styles and shapes of cakes.

This is what they fell in love with...


The cake Mike & Jennifer selected was done by DiBartolo Bakery in Collingswood, NJ located on Haddon Ave. The flowers were purchased from Michael's Craft Store. It was smaller since their wedding was being shared with 75 of their closest friends & family members. The cake brought a nice finish to all the detail that went into the reception decor! 

Happy 1 Year Anniversary Mr & Mrs Michael & Jennifer Robinson! So happy to have been able to share in your special day..wishing you many many more years of love and happiness! :-D

What has inspired you during the planning process?? How did you incorporate it into your wedding day?? Do Share!! :-)
