Wedding Event Designers Work Responsibilities

By Eliza Mendoza


Wedding event designers have a unique career in that they have the responsibility of making all of a bride's dreams come true. They have the capability of turning a plain ballroom into the dream reception for a happy couple. This is a very fulfilling career in because this person is directly involved with the very beginning of a bride and groom's new life together.

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.

One of the first tasks you may have at your new job is to assist a bride with selecting and wording her invitations. Observe her personality, the way she talks, and the manner in which she dresses and accessorizes. All of this will give you clues as to her personal style. Be sure to make her understand the importance of proofing an invitation before ordering and allowing plenty of time to address and send the invitations.

Selecting the perfect linens is also a necessity. Your client will probably have the colors and styles she has in mind but it is up to you to get the best price and quality for the occasion. Calling and visiting different vendors may be necessary to find the perfect match. Items which tend to be forgotten are the skirting for the various tables and chair covers for banquet seating. Adding fabric draping to the ceiling and walls will add atmosphere and romance.

Lighting can give the reception an extra-romantic glow. The use of up-lighting can supply drama and atmosphere to the area. Spotlights can help guests focus on the important aspects of the event. Finding the best lighting for the most reasonable amount will be your goal.

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.

Arranging the tables to assist with flow and the reception agenda can be a nightmare. Deciding on the shape and size of the guest tables, whether to have a head table or not, and who is going to sit with each other can be a major challenge. Understand that changes will occur almost all the way up to the date of the wedding and know that in this situation, that there is "nothing as constant as change."

Wedding event designers have exciting, fast-paced careers. They must be multi-taskers and have exceptional people skills. They should also be able to work anytime of the day or night, including weekends. Although the hours may be long and the work very hectic, it is a truly fulfilling and interesting position.
