Tiivistelmä
This is a product-based thesis that includes theory of wedding planning process, interviews of professional weddings planners, and a wedding plan as the final product. This thesis is commissioned by Mennään Naimisiin magazine, which is a wedding magazine that writes about wedding planning, wedding trends, beauty and wedding fashion.
A wedding is a highlight of many people´s lives and the use of a wedding planner can be a major help for a couple in the wedding planning process. Wedding planning is a big business especially internationally, but it is also meaningful for the couples in a personal level.
The main objective for this thesis is to find out what wedding related matters are popular among couples, what are the current and future wedding trends and average wedding budget. Another goal is to create a New Year´s wedding plan for a couple. In addition to this, the author´s personal development as a future wedding planner is an important objective.
The set goals were met, as the interviews of professional wedding planners and the couple gave insights on current wedding trends and what wedding related matters are popular among couples. Information on average wedding budgets was also gained. Additionally,the wedding plan as the end-product was usable for the couple and a concrete example of a wedding plan.
The thesis starts with theoretical background of wedding planning process and interviews of professional wedding planners and the bride and groom. After that there is a description of the wedding planning process and lastly the wedding plan, that was made as the final product, is presented. In the assessment section, it is discussed how the wedding planning process went, how the final product turned out and how the objectives were met. In the appendices, the interview questions for professional wedding planners and the bride and groom can be seen as well as the wedding plan in a visual form.
