WR Hobbies?

doeydo · August 2014

Just wondering if anyone loves weddings so much they made a sort of hobby out of something wedding related? I love bridal and wedding shows (if that counts) and I have taken to drawing out wedding dresses just for fun.

I have taken to day dreaming about working at a bridal salon/event planning agency. Once I get back from my vacation I am probably going to submit my resume to a local salon/event planning company to try and get a part time internship. I would really like to change my career path to something more in line with weddings.

I love planning events. I think wedding planning is so much fun. I'd love to work part time for an organization or person that does events.

I've been doing a lot of wedding invitation designs lately. I would love to make a side business out of it, but the market is pretty saturated so I don't think that's going to happen.

I hate planning my wedding. I like making stuff for the wedding.

I'd love to have a side business of doing other people's wedding crafts for them.

I still do wedding makeup as a freelancer (though far less frequently now that I don't depend on the income) and I make jewelry. I'm also everyone go-to DIY craft person. I just finished folding 1000 paper cranes for an upcoming wedding since neither the bride or groom had the time or patience to do it.

I'm still too entrenched in my own planning/crafting for anything to be a hobby.

You mean you don't want to make veils by hand for a living?

I enjoy event planning, that's why I majored in that in college and do that for a job. I would love to be a wedding planner or designer. I also like doing flower arrangements.

Eh. The Knot forums is my WR hobby.

This is how much of a glutton for punishment I am - I have a yard of lace leftover from my veil (in addition to the 20+ yards of wrong lace) and thought "oh hey, I can just sew that onto the cover of the scrapbook for the guest book!" You know, in all my free time when I think "I really wish I could be stabbing myself in the finger with a needle right now."

Planning my wedding was more than enough for me. Between my local dating pool and planning another wedding, I'll never get divorced. Too much work

Is being a bridesmaid a hobby because I do that a lot.

And because of this and somehow all my sisters turn into scary bridezillas, I rather hate weddings and really don't want to plan my own. The only reason I post is because I love the posters here and I also love the drama of other people's lives.

But just think of all the fun stuff we could do with the 20 extra yards! You could make a dress for the TK margarita machine, make all of us mini-veils, or just strangle yourself!

I love the wedding planning which is why I started so damn early. I'd love to become a wedding planner but I am disorganized and would palmface at all the brides who want burlap/chevron/gatsby/shabby/Tiffany weddings.

Inkdancer · August 2014

I would totally be a wedding planner, if I weren't too attached to my weekends with FI.

Also, I would make veils for a hundred years. I LOVE VEILS.

As much as I love chatting on the forums on this site- I actually dislike weddings. I don't have fun at most, and just find them to be a waste of money. When someone says they spent like $7,000 on flowers, I die a little inside because of all the things it could be better spent on (my own opinion, no offense to others). I don't care if you're paying, I don't care if your parents are paying, I don't care if you're frigen Oprah- I still think it's a waste. So yea...I could never be a wedding planner or work in the wedding industry hahah.

I have actually thought about doing wedding planning for lower budget brides with my contacts that I have made through my wedding planning since most of them do pretty good work for lower prices than what's the "norm" in my area.
