Preston Bailey Signature Wedding &
Event Design
This new course is a comprehensive “how-to” for
the industry, providing real behind-the-scenes
footage, photographs and documentation,
including insights into the wizardry that can
make a wedding a one-of-a-kind, magical
event for a couple and their guests. There is a
distinctive difference between an event planner
and an event designer. The event planner is
involved in every aspect of the logistical project
management of the planning process and the
event itself; however, it is the event designer
who designs the event details from top to
bottom, including the design surrounding the
activities that make an event come to life. In
many cases it is the designer who extracts the
emotional and personal elements of a client and
weaves it into the event design as an expression
of who they are.
Students will learn to create and transform
ordinary spaces into sumptuous, theatrical
Green Wedding Planning
Going Green is not a trend. It is a choice to
consider for our future generations and how our
choices today will make a difference tomorrow.
With over two million weddings each year in
the United States and an average of 150 guests
per wedding, the environmental impact of the
wedding industry is significant. For example,
if every wedding this year used a disposable
aisle runner and they were laid end to end,
they would circle the globe twice! As a Certified
Green Wedding Professional, you will learn how
to incorporate “green wedding solutions” into
your clients’ weddings and gain the knowledge
necessary to help them make the best green
choices for their wedding day goals.
