* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Mary's father and Fran's parents. Mary's father has good intentions, but he lands her in a world of embarrassment by inviting Massimo and basically promising Mary to him as if she were some sort of dog. Meanwhile, Fran's parents are rich and are of the "spare no expense" mindset. Fran's mother gets drunk at the wine tasting and hits a high note that causes Mary's horse to freak out and take off, thus endangering her life.
* DanceOfRomance: Two varieties: Steve and Mary are accidentally forced to tango together, which they mesh so perfectly with each other that the instructor compliments them on it. They share two more slow dances at the park: one at the beginning and one in the finale.

!!This film features examples of:
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: The eponymous character has a lonely and awkward love life. On another level, she's always dreamed of having a quiet, simple wedding- nothing like the elaborate, chaotic galas she supplies for clients. Of course, she knows firsthand how nerve-wracking the latter can be.
* DeathByMaterialism: It didn't result in death, but this is what set the wheels of the movie into motion. Steve meets Mary by saving her after she refuses to leave her Gucci shoe stuck in a manhole cover, despite the heavy dumpster speeding at her. It goes into TooDumbToLive when you look at the dumpster in question and realize that it's pretty high off the ground thanks to the wheels, and she could just get the damn shoe after the dumpster rolls by.
* DisposableFiance: Of the "let's call the whole thing off" variety. Worked horribly, as the only person you feel sorry for is the fiancée. The man gets romantically involved with another woman (who turns out to be the wedding planner his fiancée has hired) and then berates her for "misinterpreting" his philandering. He then ignores the whole thing and lets his fiancée plan their wedding blissfully unaware that he's falling in love with the planner (who only superficially thinks of ending the whole thing and never lets her client in on what her fiancé is really doing). Meanwhile, the planner is constantly leading on a childhood friend who is desperately in love with her to either serve to make the male lead jealous, or to boost herself up emotionally as she pines for the leading man. At the last second, the ''fiancée'' decides ''she'' doesn't want to get married, giving him the opportunity to run after the female lead. With his behavior, it's kind of hard to imagine how ''either'' woman wants him in the first place. And the planner is even less sympathetic, because it's revealed she's been the ''victim'' of this before, when her fiancé got back with his highschool girlfriend on the night of their rehearsal dinner.
* HeldGaze: This happens in a MeetCute that combines this with LiterallyFallingInLove when the eponymous wedding planner, is saved by Steve. Actually, this trope is a prime motivator for the sparking UnresolvedSexualTension the engaged doctor and Mary display towards each other in the film.
* HospitalSurprise: PlayedForLaughs. Mary is pushed out of the way of a hurtling dumpster, passes out, and wakes up in a hospital with a doctor leaning over her. Actually, it's a little girl 'pretending' to be a doctor; Mary's rescuer was a pediatrician, and brought her to the children's hospital where he worked.
* HypocriticalHumor: At one point Mary finds herself shouting at the top of her lungs, "And because I am '''''a goddamned professional!'''''"
