I styled a wedding this past month for family. I would NEVER go out on a limb and say I am a wedding planner even though, I have a Graphic Design Degree, been in 30 weddings, worked for a florist for 7 years, do calligraphy and well, pay attention to the crazy wedding trends.
Quite honestly, the whole planning of a wedding day is stressful as fuck! Just like Graphic Design, when you have a mind's eye and another person has a mind's eye? Never the two shall meet.
Even when your mind's meet. A battle of wills so to speak come into play. Though, this situation was way better than most when people are in charge of other people's weddings.
I did the bouquets. ALL OF THEM! I could pick them apart but I won't because I don't want to show all of my cards....Though, I think they say, "Bohemian Chic."
Candles hung from the tree tops. EVEN IN WEST TEXAS! Yea!!! We didn't burn that mother down!
Surprisingly enough, this bouquet didn't fall apart. I was REALLY CROSSING MY FINGERS AND PRAYING TO THE ALMIGHTY gods all would be okay here.
last minute signage an hour before the wedding.....
However, this signage, etc., was not last minute...
There are so many things I would have done differently only because I am so green in the complete vision of a wedding. Only because I have never had to completely plan or produce a complete product. I have to say, even in all of the cacophony, I think the result was beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Ya done good, and I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass.

Well, not only does your stuff look fantastic, the photographer did a great job capturing it all. Did you do the photography too?
I would not want to plan a wedding for anyone. In fact, I very reluctantly planned my own wedding and neglected to consider things like...wedding rings. Most of the stuff, I considered unimportant and figured we could just buy something when we got to Key West in the couple days before we got married. At any rate, your vision and the vision of whoever is having the event are difficult to reconcile and I am not conciliatory enough to do it. I bet you could manage, though.
