It all started off with an impressive cocktail reception at the famous Palazzo Vecchio. In addition to the inspiring meetings with wedding professionals, the congress program was extremely impressive. The team should be the people who can be trusted fully, that’s why it’s extremely important to choose people wisely. The team is the people who support you in good times and bad, who stand by in difficulty and cheer with happiness. Especially with a 24/7 work in the event industry, when things have to be solved and taken care of immediately, even only 10 minutes of personal time: meditation in the shower, yoga session, dancing, drawing - can bring you back to work fresh and focused.Īnother valuable advice Sharon gave us was that the team is the key factor to success. When it seems overwhelming and feels like too much, finding time to reconnect to yourself is very important. Whether you’re a planner, a florist, or maybe a lawyer, this is the path you chose and staying focused on it is extremely important in order to achieve great results. With inspiration comes great work, and Sharon also spoke of the importance to work really hard, no matter what you do. We cherish and keep these experiences close to our actual work process, which allows us to always keep the mind fresh. Inspiration comes from various sources, starting from beautiful weddings around the world to movies, music, art and traveling. Speaking with famous Sharon Sacks, the planner of many celebrity weddings, including those of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Ben Affleck, Olsen sisters, and many others, we also understood the importance of staying inspired. For that reason as well, it is always a great pleasure to see each of our projects coming to life and magic happening for our couples. There are so many people and parties involved in the organization of the most important days in each couple’s lives, many things to consider and keep in mind. We are here to take the stress of preparation off of the bride and groom’s shoulders and make it as enjoyable and easy for them as possible. It may seem that it’s a very beautiful career to choose, with flower overloads, great food, and a happy atmosphere around, but the truth is that the backstage of the wedding planning is stressful, and that is why professionals like us exist. We all had to acknowledge this to each other, and share personal experience on how to manage the stress and pressure of everyday tasks. We’ve met a lot of new suppliers offering unique products, built a good connection with a number of international photographers, videographers and florists, growing our business network.įirst and foremost, congress acquainted us with many great people in the industry, and these meetings were to only reconfirm that despite much prejudice, being a wedding planner is a really hard job. There were a lot of lessons learned and vast inspiration shared, broadening our vision of destination wedding planning, realizing that in fact we can move our boundaries out of Thailand, working on projects all over the world. Old friends were also there, and we had a fantastic time with our dear photographer friend Sandra Aberg. Within 3 days of the Congress, we had the pleasure of meeting and discussing business with amazing planners around the world, including Sharon Sacks, Kevin Lee, Tara Guerard, and many others. This luxury boutique congress gathered together over 400 destination wedding industry experts: planners, designers, photographers, florists, cake makers, hoteliers - to share their experience and knowledge with one another and create fructuous grounds for possible future collaborations. This year, we were honoured to be invited to the most exclusive event in the wedding planning industry, Destination Wedding Planners Congress, that took place in Florence in April 2016. With this being said, it is very important for industry professionals like ourselves to be deeply involved in the international business network. Wedding planning industry is very fast-developing and multifaceted, encompassing a number of various skills and deep expertise in fields of gastronomy, design, entertainment, and many others. Couples from all over the world are nowadays looking for more and more exclusive wedding arrangements, and this is where destination wedding planners step into the scene. Europe to America, the Middle East to Southeast Asia, - destination wedding’s geography has been exponentially growing over the last years.
