Would
you like to plan your own wedding?
Would you like to plan your friends weddings?
Would you like to become a freelance wedding planning consultant?
Lets
face it, weddings are wonderful and nothing can rival spending your
days planning someones most joyous and memorable moment.
This
is what the Professional Wedding Planning & Consulting Course
is all about.
Many
people set out to start their own business but one of the most important
factors with business is to do your homework!
You may have worked for 12 months in a hotel as an event manager
or you may have worked for 12 years, either way if you want to set
up your own wedding planning agency you are going to need to know
more about weddings than just wedding gowns and hairstyles.
Bride
to Be magazine says its online poll of more than 1,000 couples
found the average cost of tying the knot was $49,000 - an increase
of 25 per cent in the past three years.
The
magazine's Cost of Love report, investigating the financial repercussions
of romance, found couples are turning away from the traditional,
splashing out to make their big day more personal.
"There's
no recession in bridal town," Bride to Be acting editor Jacqui
Mooney said. "It's
about quality not quantity with couples lavishing more money on
fewer guests."
Couples
are spending an average $10,476 on their receptions, inviting
97 guests at $108 per head, the magazine's poll found. Less
than a third choose to tie the knot in a church, with more than
half opting for outdoor civil ceremonies "in a setting that's
significant to them as a couple".
"Couples
are older now at the age of first marriage, they're more sophisticated
and well travelled so they're really taking control of their day,"
Ms Mooney said.
The
survey also found that average spending on the wedding dress was
up from $1,900 in 2006 to $2,220.
The
cost of a bride's engagement ring was up 15 per cent, with the
average costing $5,116.
The
price of the wedding band was up 25 per cent for the bride, costing
an average of $1,507, and up 28 per cent for groom at $1,096.
The
average spending on a wedding cake is $387.
