(NAT — Maggie)

“Today we’re talking about Ch. 14, floral décor.”

TALK OF FLOWERS, RINGS, PHOTOGRAPHY…THAT’S NO SURPRISE IN THIS CLASS.

(Bite — Rasheena)
“I’m learning so much about the wedding industry.”

AT GEORGE MASON UNIVERISTY IN FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA, STUDENTS LIKE WILSON ARE LEARNING HOW TO BECOME WEDDING PLANNERS.

(NAT — Floral guy)
“This is a good floral to hold up in bouquets.”

TODAY’S GUEST SPEAKER – A FLORAL DESIGNER.

(NAT — Floral guy)

“I’m going to force a little more pink by adding some Calas”

(Maggie)
“I found that students consistently in event management wanted to do planning for weddings as their project. We teach event management. We do it on the macro level. But that was more a micro level. So I designed the course because of that.”

GEORGE MASON IS THE FIRST FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTION TO OFFER A WEDDING PLANNING COURSE FOR ACADEMIC CREDIT…AND STUDENTS SAY IT’S NOT AN EASY ONE.

(Brandi — student)
It’s the same as taking an economic class where you have to know all of the numbers and details of that class. You have to put in a lot of effort.
(Brandi — student)
The price of a wedding is around $30K, but it’s gone up from $15K. It’s dramatically increased in the last 10 years.

WITH BIGGER BUDGETS FOR TODAY’S WEDDINGS… STUDENTS ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT ELABORATE DÉCOR.

(floral guy)
“If you spotlight your arrangement or pinspot it, it makes your arrangements look a lot better.”

BUT ELABORATE OR NOT, DANIELS SAYS THAT IN AN AGE OF INCREASING GLOBALISM…IT’S IMPORTANT TO TEACH RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL WEDDING TRADITIONS.

(NAT-Daniels)
“If you have a Jewish ceremony, what is the canopy that we’re going to use? Chuppah, right, it was on the mid-term!”
(Daniels)
“Each bride and groom, they come to the table with different backgrounds and ideas and they may or may not want to play off their culture. I think that’s one of the most important things that we do is we take the culture, we take the religion into consideration, but first and foremost, we get to know the clients and what makes them tick.”

AND STUDENTS SAY THERE’S NO HARM IN TAKING A CLASS THAT HIGHLIGHTS A CAREER OPTION THAT MOST ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS IGNORE.

I think it should be offered everywhere, even at community colleges and universities. It’s just another elective, but it’s also informative. I’ve taken western civ and biology, but I don’t think that applies. this is also giving people another alternative in the job market that they may not know about, that they may not know they have a creative niche in wedding planning.

AND IF STUDENTS DON’T MAKE THIS A CAREER, THE CLASS CAN EASILY PLANT A SEED FOR THE FUTURE.

Yes! Looking at the stuff today, I wanted to keep that bridal bouquet. I’m taking this home!
