wedding planners share their horror stories

A really bad situation was when the florist delivered the wrong flowers entirely. Instead of the elegant white roses and lilies the bride wanted, there were bright orange and purple daisies. The wedding planner had to try and fix this. They first tried to contact the florist to see if they could replace them, but the florist was uncooperative. So the planner had to drive around town to different florists to buy the correct flowers and then arrange them in time for the wedding.

Vendor issues are also a big part of these horror stories. For example, the caterer I hired once for a wedding didn't show up on time. They got lost on the way to the venue. By the time they arrived, the food was cold, and the guests were getting impatient. It was really embarrassing and hard to smooth things over.

Well, first of all, we have to stay calm. If there's a problem like a power outage at the venue, we quickly find solutions like getting generators if possible. We also communicate clearly with the couple and the guests. For instance, if there's a delay in the ceremony start time due to some unforeseen issue, we make announcements to keep everyone informed.

Well, a wedding horror story could be like this. The bride's dress got torn as she was walking down the aisle because it got caught on a chair. It was so embarrassing for her. Also, there was a situation where the DJ played inappropriate music during the first dance. And once, the florist delivered the wrong flowers and the whole decoration looked off.

There was a wedding where the caterer didn't show up. The poor couple had to scramble and order a bunch of pizzas at the last minute. It was so embarrassing for them as they had planned a fancy dinner for their guests.

The book 'The Wedding Planner' by Mary Balogh is quite popular. It delves into the life of a wedding planner, the brides and grooms they work with, and all the drama that comes with planning the big day. It's a great read for those interested in the behind - the - scenes of weddings.

Well, I heard of a situation where a bride's wedding dress caught fire during the photo shoot because it was too close to a candle. Thankfully, she was not seriously hurt but the dress was ruined. Also, there was a case where the wedding dress store went out of business right before the bride could pick up her dress, and she had already paid in full.

One horror story is when the in - laws took over the entire wedding planning without consulting the couple. They chose a hideous venue, a tacky color scheme, and an awful menu. The couple felt like they had no say in their own wedding day.

Well, there was this couple. The bride's dress got severely damaged during the wedding reception. By the time they got to their wedding night accommodation, she was in tears. The groom was trying to console her, but it really put a damper on the whole mood. They spent the night trying to fix the dress rather than having a romantic time.

At a wedding party, the caterer got the menu completely wrong. Instead of the planned fancy steak and seafood, they served basic sandwiches and chips. The bride was in tears as she had dreamed of a grand meal for her guests.
