How did you get into wedding planning?
I have a degree in retail floriculture. So, it was an easy transition to move into the wedding planning side! Now as professional bridal consultants, we are a family business with my daughters and nieces, combined to bring fun and creative energy to every event. We are located in Arizona but plan numerous events in other states, cities, and countries!
What are the three things every wedding and event planner must carry on them at all times?
Wet Ones, a sewing kit, and safety pins!
