Are you a natural born party planner and organizer? Do you love making lists, forging new business contacts, and organizing activities? If so, then you are the perfect person to run a service providing all needed wedding decorations! Planning a wedding is a difficult challenge for anyone, time consuming and for most folks– just plain hard to do. Just locating different vendors to perform the appropriate services is a huge part of the difficulty. Weddings can be the most stressful and emotionally intense time of a bride's life so any service that will help her bear that burden would be such a needed relief! Your fees would likely want to be in the ballpark of 15% of the total costs, depending on the prevailing market in your area.

Since people plan weddings both locally and by long-distance (exotic wedding locations are growing more popular all of the time!), This kind of resource would be a lifesaver for the bride or wedding planner given the responsibility of decorating the wedding site!

You will want to be able to give your clients (be they brides or professional wedding planners) many stylish options for their wedding site. They will also also want to be able to choose between styles of vendors such as florists or printers for things such as flower arrangements or banners. The more options that you can offer your customers, the more control they will feel over the situation and the happier they will be. Some people prefer the look of silk flowers, arches, and shrubs because they do not wilt under harsh weather conditions. Some like to import large amounts of exotic floral arrangements and they want to be able to hang them from every available rafter and pew. Some like large gothic pedestals and other props in every available corner to make their wedding more of a theatrical production and some will just want a discreet feminine touch here and there. Every bride wants to have a wedding like no other. Each one will have different tastes and their own personal set of needs. To best fulfill these needs, you will want to have at your disposal a large network of appropriate sellers to draw from. Keep in mind that many people plan themed weddings either with very distinct styles based on a bygone era in history or sometimes with a strong color theme. For instance, some brides want every petal, every ribbon, every stitch, every scrap of paper used in their wedding to be the color pink. You will need to be able to locate and offer these to your clients at a moment's notice. This requires preparation and careful record keeping on your part to keep track of where any given service or item can be procured.

While you are in the process of building up a customer base, you will likely want to advertise your services by running an ad in a local phone directory as well as listing your business with an online business directory. It would be a good idea to create a website with your contact information on it and samples of weddings that you have decorated. You also might want to offer ideas for their future wedding or for interesting wedding themes that they may want to try.

While your business is in its fledgling phase, you will likely also want to print up flyers and post them in places where people of all occupations would be likely to frequent. Be sure to include popular lunch places and coffee shops! Most post offices and grocery stores also have bulletin boards that they will allow you to place an advertisement on. Be sure to take advantage of any public bulletin boards in your area to find the people who are looking for you and your services. Do not neglect places like medical service buildings, health food stores, libraries, bridal shops, and any other place that your potential clients may frequent. In no time at all, you will have built up a large clientele base, many by word of mouth as they witness your professional services in action!
