  8. Wedding planning has so many amazing moments but one of my favorite parts of being a wedding planner happens behind the scenes, usually when the bride & groom aren’t even watching! It’s when I get to handle mini crises or avert potential snafu’s during the wedding day so at the end of the wedding, the bride ^ groom don’t even realize anything amiss happened. For example: when the florist forgot to bring the roses for the mothers and I had to run (in heels) to the nearest florist down the street to purchase a few roses before the ceremony started. Or when a beautiful wedding cake began to melt in the hot reception room and I had to secretly rescue the cake topper as it toppled over and fell behind the cake. These moments are the ones that wedding planners get to handle with grace so that the bride and groom don’t have to spend one second worrying about it on a day they are supposed to be enjoying. 🙂
