The Benefits of Working With an Associate Wedding Planner

As a to-be-wed, you might already be familiar with the idea of working with a professional wedding planner, but what about an associate wedding planner? Hiring an associate planner can often give you the best of both worlds - a fresh new outlook on the event space all while being guided by an experienced principle planner.

So what exactly IS an associate wedding planner? They are simply members of the team who are looking to grow their knowledge and experience in the event industry. Associate wedding planners are there to learn the ins and outs of planning under the guidance of the principle planner - essentially a 'two brains are better than one' scenario! Ideas can be bounced off of each other, and new concepts can be brought to the table.

While a lot of people may overlook working with the new faces of our industry, there are some great pros. When working with an associate event planner, they are under the instruction of the principle planner. This is a huge plus because not one detail will go unnoticed or overlooked, due to the nature of this being a learning process for the associate. During this time, it is incredibly important that associates are learning how to comfortably execute these events with ease and confidence. You can expect everything to be double (or even triple!) checked as they navigate the world of wedding and event planning.

Our associate planners are ready to embark on the journey of helping you create your dream wedding or special event. When working with one of our associate planners, everything will be overseen by our principle planner, Christine Chang.

Your Perfect Wedding Color Palette

A carefully chosen color palette can make all the difference when creating a cohesive wedding aesthetic, but ever wonder where you should start? Take these tips into consideration when deciding the colors of your special day.

Thinking about the season your wedding will be held in when you are stuck choosing a color palette can help gather great inspiration. If you are having a springtime wedding, pastel and lighter colors would be a great compliment whereas a fall wedding would call for richer jewel tones.

Your venue can also play a key role in the colors you choose for your wedding. Venues like converted warehouses and barns are blank slates, meaning you can really add as much or as little color as you want without worrying about clashing with any existing tones or decor. With places like hotels, look at the colors that are already in the space to help determine your palette.

 Of course, your wedding day should be everything you’ve dreamt of. Make sure that you choose colors for your wedding that represent you and make you feel good. It’s your special day, so decorate it to fit your style.
