Be creative. This is a must if you want a career in wedding planning. You will have to take several decisions that require aesthetic sense and intelligence. You will be also working under pressure, so try to be as patient as you can. Sometimes, your clients can panic, so give the impression of a calm person who has everything prepared. This is the best way to impress customers and also get new contracts.
