With honesty, you do not have to make up with the lies. This has been a great informative blog. I have always appreciated your openness and transparent approach. Right now, I am in the process of evaluating my marketing strategy and this gives me more to think about. Selling definately is an art and finding the right balance between the creativity and selling is hard but not impossible. Thanks for sharing. I just loved how you place intergity at #1.

I had a client once who sent me a $1,000,000 wedding inspiration photograph and her budget was $5,000.00 I immediately had to put her in check and let her know the value of the wedding photograph she sent to me vis a vis her budget and the design she wanted for her wedding. Did not want a crying bride on my hands and thought it was best to do so... i think sometimes though that some clients will always have something to complain about all the time.

But due to several helicopters arrival to the same lawn he was extremely late. We had to postpone the ceremony for almost two hours and it was hoorrible for us, although the guests didn't notice any delay - they were very nicely entertained by painters, comics etc. The bride called me at 3 AM after the wedding finished and was eager to discuss this problem. From that moment we have a backup planning for each detail and activity. Murphey's law was not cancelled anyway :) On one of our weddings the vendor was supposed to finish building the stairs and other elements of the decor early in the day of wedding.
