daydream believer
Totally don't mean to be debbie downer today, but I'm having a very un-motivated Monday. That probably could be considered redundant by most. I'm not entirely sure why though. I had a relaxing and productive weekend, it's absolutely beautiful today, and I enjoy working (for the most part). However, lately I have this burning desire to dive into something new. Two of my dear friends are getting married this year and I have been asked to help plan/decorate/whatever they need for both. After planning my own wedding, it's like this new passion has come alive inside of me! I can multi-task like no other, and I know this is key to party planning. My friend Kimberly, whom I've mentioned before is a wonderful decorator, and we sort of team up for these events. We all went swimming last night (one of our Summer rituals we're picking back up) and we sort of joked about starting a business for couples planning a wedding on a t i g h t budget. I know that everywhere I turned, planners/venues/caterers/florists were expecting $10,000 minimum budget for the wedding. I know that's not a lot to some, but to those of us NOT wanting to spend that much (and use our money in other places), it is. My point is, I'm daydreaming about this a lot today. Probably because this dream could easily be attained. I already know of several girls who would want our help. But, it would be a huge step and one that didn't make much money for a while. This is what is on my mind today. Just a lot of daydreaming and no motivation to sit behind this desk! So, thanks for listening. I'm off my soap box for now =)
{via Martha Stewart Weddings}I fell in love with this picture when browsing ideas over the weekend. And I love that tea-length dress!
LOVE THE IDEA!!!!! I USED A WEDDING PLANNER LIKE THAT FOR MY WEDDING...AND LOVED IT!!! CHECK OUT HER WEBSITE http://www.dreamconcierge.com/ IT WAS GREAT.....LIKE A PACKAGE DEAL AND SHE WAS ALWAYS BOOKED UP!!!! GOOD LUCK!!
ReplyDeleteokay...just checked out her site. I got married almost 6 years ago....and it looks like she is much higher budget now. :) but at least you can see the "package deal" options that were sooo popular!
ReplyDeletedaydreaming is great, you are not being a debbie downer at all!! I think I daydream every single day.
ReplyDeleteMondays suck all around, so daydream on girl!
i think you should think about pursuing it...wedding planners should be available to those on a budget (who isn't on a budget anymore?) you've been thinking about it for a reason, don't ignore it.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to follow your dreams! i am on the other extreme...I have been shooting weddings for 10 years now and am soooooo sick of weddings, and brides, and moms of brides and all that goes into every wedding detail...I am exploding with bordom. So I am retiring now after the year is up and am SOOOOO excited about it. But if you think it is something you will love for a long time than you should totally dive in. life is too short to wonder.
ReplyDeleteI say go for it! You never want to have the regret of wondering what would have happened if only you'd tried it, you know? Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun daydream! But I say, do it!!! You'd be great, and there are so many people who could use your services.
ReplyDeletexo
I concur, everyone's saying exactly what I would be :) DIVE IN!
ReplyDeletesuch a lovely dream that you could so do! You would be amazing I am sure. Love the tea length dress too.
ReplyDeleteI think you should go for it. At this age two things are going on:
ReplyDelete1. It is okay to be poor. It is a right on passage I think. Since I started my company I have been living on pennies, and you know what? You really get used to it and isn't that bad. I promise! Then, things start to pick up and it is the best feeling in the world!
2. Your friends are in the wedding phase and that means lots of clients or at the very least, lots of practice. You can build a portfolio and experience even if you are not getting paid.
Daydreaming is the best!
