As wedding planners, we see trends come and go. What’s hot one month, could be completely outdated just a few months later. It is fun noting the trends and working with brides to put their own unique spin on them as we develop wedding designs. But through the design process, we always encourage our brides to focus on classic elements as well. Those classic elements will lend a timeless quality to the design, which of course will show through in your photographs.
Preston Bailey, renown design extraordinaire and author, stated this philosophy best in a recent post on his design blog, Inspiration and Transformations. If you love floral design and out of the box thinking, we recommend you subscribe to Preston’s wonderful blog where he shares his insights, advice, experiences, as well as beautiful images of his craft.
I’ve been in this business for 30 years and I spend so much time looking forward (planning for the next project, keeping track of the newest technology in event design) that I rarely get a chance to look back and evaluate the past projects I’ve accomplished. There’s a lot one can learn from the past (and I get such joy from reminiscing), so I thought it might be nice to do a weekly series where we discuss past events and lessons learned or tips that came from working on them.
