Wedding Design Institute Wedding Planner Certification Courses Coming to New Orleans August 15-20

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 04, 2011 - NEW ORLEANS – Wedding Design Institute is bringing its wedding planner certification courses to the Doubletree New Orleans Airport on August 15-20. The courses are specially designed to help people gain important knowledge and experience to start their own business in the wedding planner industry.

“Our certification program is perfect to help wedding planners launch their dream business,” said Wedding Design Institute Founder Stacy Parker. “We cover all of the necessary information wedding planning consultants need for the perfect event.”

Courses at Wedding Design Institute were developed with practical knowledge and experience in mind. Each course provides hands-on opportunities to learn and apply the material to real life situations that enhance the marketability of the certification program.

“We developed strong curriculum for our course offerings that provide important value upon completion,” Parker said. “Our courses provide aspiring wedding planning business owners with real return on investment. The first client they book will basically pay for the cost of the course.”

Wedding Design Institute is offering two different courses in New Orleans.

The Design and Planning Certification Course is a week long program that takes students through every step of the wedding planning business--from starting and running their business to creating a wedding plan and executing flawless spectacular events. It helps planners learn to negotiate venues and vendors, create contracts and appropriately price and market their services.  Priced at only $1295, this comprehensive course is perfect for those starting their business as well as planners looking to gain certification to take their business to the next level.

For those interested in bypassing the planning process and focusing on the execution of a great wedding day, the one day Coordination Certificate Class priced at $495 is the perfect solution. It begins with a brief review of the information needed to jump start a business and then teaches students the steps to organizing the activities involved in and around the wedding day. This course is custom designed for those interested in a part-time wedding planning business to supplement their income or can provide a great refresher for the established planner as they obtain a professional certification.

Space is limited and filling up quick for the certification courses. There are daytime sessions, evening sessions or a Saturday coordination class. All of the courses will be held at the Doubletree New Orleans Airport located at 2150 Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Kenner.

Eco-friendly eBoutique, Shop to be Green has been approved as a Green Bride Guide wedding vendor

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 04, 2011 - Shop to be Green an online retailer of high quality green and eco-friendly products has been selected by the Green Bride Guide, the #1 green wedding website, for inclusion in their Green Wedding Directory (www.greenbrideguide.com/directory).  

The Green Bride Guide is the most comprehensive and credible green wedding resource online. The Directory is like a Yellow Pages for green weddings that provides a centralized resource of green wedding vendors, searchable by geographic area.  

This year, almost 50% of couples are looking to include green elements in their events, and 85% are concerned about greenwashing, the passing off of non-green companies as eco-friendly. To address these concerns, the Green Bride Guides screens all vendors in the directory and displays their green practices in their profiles. Shop to be Green has received a 5 leaf rating from the Green Bride Guide.  

“Providing couples who are planning their special day with high quality and beautiful products that they will cherish for years is very important to Shop to be Green. We are very excited to be a part of such a highly valued resource such as the Green Bride Guide, “ says Mistie Hague, Shop to be Green spokesperson.

Shop to be Green was created to get these great products to the consumers who really want them. Shop to be Green’s aim is to sell high quality items that people will absolutely love and feel good about. More than 50% of their products are handmade by small local family businesses within the United States.

“When my husband Barry and I were planning our wedding in 2006-07, we were surprised by how little information was available to help us make eco-friendly choices. That’s why I’m excited to be able to offer couples the Green Bride Guide Directory,” said Kate Harrison.  “By including vendors like Shop to be Green, couples will know that they are working with a vetted green vendor who truly values the environment. Since more than 50% of the wedding budget is spent at the local level, the Directory is an essential tool for couples looking to support the local green economy.”

Shop to be Green carries a special selection of green and eco-friendly products. They search for products that are of the highest quality, stylish, and creatively designed. They select products that they are excited about and want to bring into their own home.
