Time will fly now you've got your first heart!

I go on about WP all the time too and try to get people to either goin, or do DIY stuff for their weddings. Don't have much success, if they only knew how much money they could save! I might be doing a bouquet for my SIL's wedding next August, bit aprehensive about it as she's hard to please, or it's hard to know what she wants but I would be honoured too...

I would love to become wedding planner too as I am thoroughly enjoying myself. I have the paperwork for an accredited course so you can become qualified but think I will wait till after my own wedding next year before I do it. Big Grin

kirky can you send me info on this? Its my dream job but dont know how/where to start!!!!

No probs there are quite a few distance learning courses out there but I was looking for one which didnt want a huge amount up front this one allows a deposit and pay monthly. The course is 429 which seems a lot but I was doing an OU course and they are about the same per module so dont think its too bad to get a diploma.

Not sure while training it would be a hobby but possibly a new career Big Grin

. I have plenty admin experience which should help too and a lot of contacts and friends in the wedding business including my future in-laws.

H2Bs dad is videographer, my SIL does wedding stationary and craft and is also a dressmaker. I know a make up artist and beauty therapist etc so could work out being a fairly good business.

I am really bored at work but cant afford not to so this would be a career I think I would love although doing it for someone else may be even more stressful.

*** edit for bad spelling despite being in Admin for years Hahaha
