How I came up with the idea of becoming a Wedding Planner / Designer
A year ago, my husband and I had a professional project to open our own event venue. That is why I chose to train in the wedding industry, so I would know what I was talking about and, above all, have all the codes and tools needed to work in this field.
My background before getting started
I studied communication and event planning. At that time, the sector was very saturated and I could not find a job, so I decided to prioritize my personal life over my professional life. I found work as a jewelry sales assistant, and that is how life moved on for a while.
The difficulties I faced before getting started
At times, it was difficult to manage the professional project of opening a venue while also following the program. Then, when everything fell apart, it was very hard to bounce back and accept the idea of starting on my own.
My agency
I had not necessarily imagined it in one specific way or another. Everything took shape gradually as I progressed through the program. Today, Les Jours Heureux reflects me perfectly. It feels like me: natural, simple, with a touch of elegance, and rooted in a bohemian spirit, from garden parties to beach picnics.
What I love about my job
I love love stories. I am very emotional and very sensitive, and I think that is a perfect combination when it comes to giving the very best to the couples who come to me. What I love most is their story, their love, and supporting them through what will be a wonderful day, bringing them happiness in my own way.
What IWI brought me
It gave me confidence in myself and undeniable skills in the wedding industry. It also helped me accept myself and put my impostor syndrome aside.
