Wedding Event Designers Career Description

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.

If you are interested in this type of work as a career, you may need to work under someone with experience and a proven track record first. Absorb all you can from this job, take notes and consider what you would do differently. Take classes in subjects such as management, flower arranging, event planning, and even accounting if you plan on owning your own business.

Choosing invitations may be a first step in assisting a new, nervous bride. Observe her tastes in clothes, accessories and home furnishing to get an idea of her tastes. Talk to her about her background and what she is looking for before assisting her with a selection. Emphasize the importance of proper wording and proofing the final product before ordering.

Linens may also be a big decision. They should match the theme or colors of the reception. They can be patterned or solid or even a mixture if the couple so desires. It is your job to find them exactly what they want at the right price. You must also work with the reception venue to set up the schedules of placing the linen on tables to work with the food service team that is setting up the tables.

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.

Flowers can make a wedding truly spectacular. This position requires a knowledge of the different types of blooms and arrangements for an event such as this. Forming relationships with local florists can help keep pricing down and quality consistent.

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.

Wedding event designers are dedicated, creative individuals who want their clients to have the very best for their special day. Working odd hours, doing manual labor as well as handling brain-bogging changes are a requirement of this job. It may be demanding but it is also fulfilling knowing that you are helping a couple start off on the path to a new life together.
