I've always loved weddings and the idea of planning my own wedding when I was a little girl, so it was something I had always kind of been interested in. I got very lucky that I found a job at a bridal boutique when I was in college, and I just fell in love with being able to work with brides and being a part of somebody's most important day of their life. I started full-time at my current company 3 years ago, right around the time I was getting a divorce. I hadn't been in the professional field full-time in 13 years because I had mostly stayed at home with the kids for most of my adult life. I have 5 children - 4 boys and 1 daughter - so I don't have too much free time, but I spend a lot of time with them. During the week, my schedule fluctuates depending on client needs. Most of my week is meeting with clients, creating timelines, doing vendor meetings, and with my planning clients, I do a lot of design concept work and meeting with vendors, especially for floral and catering. On actual wedding days, I arrive at 8 o'clock in the morning and don't leave until the client leaves at the end of the night and I have everything packed up. It can be a 14, 15, 16-hour day, and I am in charge of everything wedding-related on the actual wedding day - setup, making sure vendors are arriving, timeline execution, keeping vendors on track throughout the day, and managing all of the personal decor at the end of the night.
