Oh, how wonderful! I’m planning my wedding now – and having so much fun planning that I’d love to plan for others! This would be precisely what I need to push me forward! 🙂 I figure my design skills, plus jewelry making skills, provide the perfect transition skills! 🙂
There is an untapped market in my area for things such as this. I would love to be able to make my fascination with weddings and party planning into a viable occupation.
I’ve been doing event and wedding planning since 1994 it would be nice to have the certification to prove I do it well. Plus, I’m totally self-taught; so, it would be great to get the formal education. I’d also like to learn about new trends and how I can go from being a freelancer to a full-business model.
I have been an intricate part in planning many weddings and events but have always wanted to follow through with a formal degree. My husband and I hope to open our home and landscaped property to the public for weddings in the very near future and I hope to make this my full time job. A distance learning course would be a perfect fit for my busy life.
My wedding is officially less than 200 days away and I’m still clueless. Please help the cluelessness fade with courses on how not to be bridally clueless. Also, I’m at that age where everyone and their mother are getting (re-)married. I’d love to be able to help out!
I’ve been exploring my creative side in graphic design and other creative outlets over the past couple years and I am seriously considering a career change in the near future. A course like this would give me the boost I need to make that career change and to do something I love- planning, designing, and making dreams come true!
I would love to win this as I am an events designer in Dubai and think it would be perfect to help me progress into the creative side of weddings. We do a number of beautiful weddings every year and I long to be involved more in the creative aspect than just the planning and management side!
This would be an awesome opportunity for me . I currently have a very small wedding and event floral business. I love everything to do with weddings. I have consulted with several of my former brides on linens, decor and set up of their ceremonies and loved every minute. I have recently looked into taking a class like this but was unable to because I lost my job and just couldn’t afford it. This would provide me with a formal education in this field. My dream is to open a floral design studio with extended wedding services in my city. Brides currently go out of town for such services. What a great giveaway!
Awesome giveaway! I wanted to take a class like this but lost my day job & couldn’t afford it. I currently own a wedding and event florist. My dream is to open a design studio with extended wedding services. Our town doesn’t have such a business and brides have to go out of town. This would help my dream come true & passion for weddings live on.
