Mrs. Bee here.

So many brides enjoy the wedding planning process, that they want to get into the wedding industry after their own nuptials. I mean that’s exactly what I did! :P

Whether it’s as planners, invitation designers, florists, bloggers ;)… If you had the opportunity - would you want to work in the wedding industry?

I think that I would. I love the whole process. But I think I will likely end up just trying to influence my friends’ weddings as they tie the knot.

I would love to work in the wedding industry. A few years back, I was thinking of interning for Kate Edmonds, wedding planner extraoridnaire, but opted not to because of the somewhat long commute from NJ to NY. Who knows if I would’ve made the cut anyway.

YES!! I would love it. I tried to get a job at the florist shop that both my grandma and mom worked at for years. I plan on using them as my florist! :)

Absolutely! I think I would love to open a dress shop. Just imagine going in everyday to see another womans face light up when she finds her dress. I am sure with all businesses it isnt rosy and puppies everyday of the week, but I think it would be work it.

I would totally LOVE flowers. But I suck at things and am totally lazy when it comes to things like that. I work in bursts. :)

Overall, I’m enjoying the process for myself, but I’m not sure I’d want to do the whole thing all over again. I definitely would not want to be a planner or coordinator.

I’d love to continue with finding and recommending new product, which I can potentially do through weddinbee, but that’s more of a hobby than a job/carrer.

I might want to be involved somehow, through paper or something, but I’d need an area that allowed for servicing other industries other than exclusively weddings…I’m an antsy one and need variety.

That’s what I did!!! i was at a point that I didn’t know what I was going to be doing in my life and after my wedding I wanted something to do. Little by little I started coordinating local “knottie” weddings and they began reccomending me. Feb 2005 is when I officially started with a website, email and such and it’s been a pleasure ever since.

i don’t know. i have a habit of pushing my ideas onto other people so that probably wouldn’t be the way to go. i am enjoying planning my best friend’s wedding and my younger sister keeps telling me that she wants me to plan hers, which i’m on board with, but they’re both very laid back and i don’t think i’d be as involved if they were uptight. on the plus side, i can always call them out as bridezillas since they’re family. can’t do that to a regular client. lol. i’m with miss lime, i’d probably be best as a researcher. now that’s actually fun.

Yes, infact, very interested. I like the whole planning, coordinating, and little details that go into wedding planning. I’ve taken upon myself to help out in a friends upcoming wedding, so we’ll see how that goes. I think I want to start a career in this, but I don’t know where to start to be quiet honest. Anyone in the same boat?

I actually never thought about it until I stumbled upon Weddingbee. :-D I’m so addicted and I’m not even engaged. =P If anything, I think I’d want to work with invitations and such. Pretty stationery makes me happy. =)

I would love to be an event planner - and have done quite a few events now for my graduate school (unpaid slave labor - I mean volunteer - of course). Including a weekend with 6 different events for over 5000 people.

But since I am getting a PhD in engineering, I probably won’t become one. Maybe a day-of coordinator though for a side job? I love bringing all the elements together. But other people’s taste would probably drive me nuts.

Once my wedding is over, I never want to think about planning a wedding again! Not that I haven’t enjoyed this process, but its not something id like to do for either work or as a hobby.

That’s exactly what I did. After going through the process, which was fun for teh most part, I was so bummed at how many places upped the price once you mentioned the word “wedding”. Invitations especialy. Back when I started (2000) there weren’t as many DIY choices as there are today. So I started my own invitation biz and the part I enjoy the most? Helping couples find gorgeous invitations that reflect their style and personality without breaking the bank. It can be done! But don’t expect too many sales people to tell you that. :)
