What They Teach In A Bridal Consulting Course?

A bridal consulting course is something a wedding planner would take in their preparation for a career dealing with brides and weddings. So what would you think they teach in a bridal consulting course? To figure out the course content of a bridal consulting course we first must examine exactly what a wedding planner would have to know and what kinds of situations they would have to deal with. For example, in order to deal with the one in every three brides that wants the world and everything in it to be available at their wedding a bridal consulting course would have to teach a wedding planner disaster planning. Inevitably the weddings for the bride that wants everything would probably wind up being a disaster so that seems appropriate. But a bridal consulting course is much more than just teaching how to organize things and how to prepare for the absolute worst. It is also a way of preparing the potential bridal consultant for how to deal with the service providers that will inevitably either not perform their duties or fail to show up altogether. For these situations the bridal consulting course will teach important things like how to be an emergency DJ at a wedding and how to make Molotov cocktails to deliver to the service provider that left you hanging at a very important client’s wedding.

Of course we are only speculating here on what would go into a bridal consulting course and we are also making useful suggestions. An obvious part of any bridal consulting course would have to be some sort of psychology class. When you are dealing with brides in what can be one of the most stressful times of their lives you really need to develop the skill of dealing with unreasonable people under stress. For this particular instance whatever the bridal consulting course does not teach it is almost assured that the wedding planner will learn through painful and repeated real life experience.

But Seriously Folks

We have had a little fun here with outlining the perfect training material for a prospective bridal consultant but in reality a bridal consulting course offers a very valuable service to apprentice bridal consultants and the advice and information they offer are an excellent foundation to furthering the consultant’s career. If you are considering a career as a bridal consultant then you need to look into taking a bridal consulting course and be prepared to learn valuable skills towards your new career.

Wedding Planner – How to Find a Good One

With Wedding Planning being such a relatively new industry in the UK, and more and more Wedding Planning companies popping up overnight, how do we possibly know who to use? Most wedding planners in the UK are ‘one man bands’ with little to no experience in planning a wedding. How do I know this? Because unfortunately I used one of them!

I enlisted the help of a Wedding Planner who I’d found advertising at a wedding exhibition. Big Mistake! I do believe she was using my wedding to ‘practice’ on! Very early on in the planning process she give me so many reasons to doubt her ability that I soon realised it would be far better for me to lose my deposit than to continue down this road of catastrophe which she seemed to be paving.

The mistake I made was not ‘to use a wedding planner’, but rather, that I had not found a good one! Wedding Planners can be invaluable in planning a beautiful, stress free wedding, as I found out with the second company whom I booked, (after thoroughly researching first I might add).

3 Tips for choosing a Good Wedding Planner:

Don’t be overly impressed with photos they show you of previous weddings. They may not be theirs!

Ask her if she works as a full time wedding planner or if she will be working on her wedding on a part time basis. Call a few times during the day to see if anyone picks up the phone. If you keep getting the answering machine, think twice about using this Planner.

Ask her if she will personally attend your wedding. How long will she stay? Who will cover her if she is ill?
