Overview

How to Execute a Seamless Event Without the Stress

Wedding planning is exciting. It can also feel overwhelming, expensive, and confusing.

This live virtual webinar was designed to change that.

Join Carice Coleman, Founder of Pinnacle Affairs, alongside trusted industry partners, for a value-packed educational session that breaks down the real conversations couples should be having before booking vendors, finalizing budgets, and building timelines.

This is not a sales pitch.
This is strategy, transparency, and real-world insight.

Who This Is For

• Engaged couples beginning the planning process
• Couples refining budgets and vendor decisions
• Current Pinnacle Affairs clients
• Anyone wanting clarity before making big wedding investments

What We’ll Cover

The Budget Conversation: Where It Actually Begins

Planner + Florist + Photographer

• How to read and evaluate vendor proposals
• What questions to ask before signing contracts
• Understanding what’s included (and what’s not)
• How to prioritize using a ranking framework
• Why wedding budgets reflect value, not just pricing

Timeline Decisions That Protect the Vision

Planner + Photographer

• How rushed timelines impact portraits and detail shots
• Why built-in buffers matter for florals and room flips
• Real examples of timelines done well versus poorly

Where Couples Lose Money (and How to Avoid It)

Planner + Florist

• When to specify floral details and when to allow creative freedom
• The truth about greenery versus florals
• Designing to your venue instead of your Pinterest board
• Avoiding over-design in areas guests rarely see
• Where to invest for high-impact floral moments
• Smart strategies for repurposing ceremony florals

Live Q&A + Bonus Raffle

We’ll close with live audience questions and practical next steps.

Attendees will also be entered into a raffle featuring:

• $700 off a Pinnacle Affairs Design & Coordination or Day-of Coordination package
• A complimentary 1-hour Floral Strategy Consultation provided by Gossamer Floral Design
• Additional partner giveaway (to be announced)

What You’ll Leave With

• Greater clarity on how to allocate your wedding budget
• A stronger understanding of vendor roles and deliverables
• Insight into behind-the-scenes logistics most couples don’t anticipate
• Confidence in your next planning decisions
