By Eliza Mendoza


To join the ranks of wedding event designers, you must have many qualities. The ability to handle difficult and stressed couples, the flexibility to work odd hours, often into the night, and possessing massive amounts of ingenuity and creativity are all necessary components. This very fulfilling job of making a bride's dream wedding come to life it is not for the faint of heart but is extremely satisfying and there is never a dull moment.

At the beginning of your career, you may be required to work under an individual in this or a similar field. You can also attend bridal events and shows as well as assist friends and family with their special days. Look for courses and classes in food presentation, flower arranging, and event planning to round out your experience and add to your resume.

The first step toward creating the perfect reception would be to assist the bride in choosing her invitations. She may desire something elegant, simple or eclectic. Reading your client and helping her choose what best suits the personality of the couple can be a challenge but after time you will begin to pick up clues about the couple that will assist you in helping them make the best decisions. Stress the importance of and assist with proofing the invitations thoroughly before they go to press.

Choosing linens for the reception is also a big consideration. This position demands that you work with your client to select what is in her budget and what goes with her theme and chosen colors. You may have to call or visit several vendors to find that perfect shade or the perfect price. Chair covers lend a finished and elegant look to the room. Skirting for buffet, sign-in, gift and the head table may also be required. Some linen companies also have draping for the ceiling or walls - this makes a large space much more romantic, cozy and inviting.

Special lighting can totally change the atmosphere of your event. Use up-lighting to give the room an extra-romantic glow. Spotlights will highlight the special moments of the evening. Your responsibility will be to get the best lighting products that will achieve the lighting goals for the least amount of money.

The choice of fresh flowers can truly make or break a reception. The colors and types chosen will lend the affair delicate scents as well as accessorize other aspects of the decor. A good designer will use her position to form relationships with up-and-coming florists to get consistent deals and pricing.

Working on table arrangements can be stressful. Deciding on the size and shape of the guest tables, whether or not to have a head table, and how to pull it all together can be an overwhelming challenge. Seating arrangements have to take into account the various family dynamics and you have to rely on information from the bride and groom to get it just right.

To join the ranks of wedding event designers, you must be extremely committed. The hours are long, the work demanding and the clients can be choosy or difficult to please. In the end, the satisfaction you get from a job well done and a happy couple on their way to their honeymoon makes it all worthwhile.
