I am assuming you mean you will be getting either a bachelors or associates in business, I have a BSBA and only had to take about 4 math classes, none were that hard. Pay attention in class and get someone to help you if you have to. Some colleges have math labs to help you.

If you go to college, math is essential, if you do a bachelors degree. You will need to take 2 semesters of math plus take a course or two in statistics.
Your best bet would be to talk to wedding planners now.
You may not need a business degree. There are certificate programs available.
A degree is a good idea but it's not absolutely necessary. You could also just take applicable courses but keep in mind that some of the courses you want to take will have prerequisites. You will need to look at different college programs and what courses they offer. You could talk to your guidance counselor. Does your school have a career center because they can provide valuable information?

I think you should be fine. Being a wedding planner is more about being a people person, about you knowing what style is hot and what is not, about you knowing different wedding traditions, etc. Why do you want to be a wedding planner? It is not as easy and as fun as you think it is. It has a lot of work and you need to put lots of time and it comes with plenty of headache. It is great when you are helping nice couples who got lots of money to spend. But it is hair splitting when the couples don't have much money yet they want everything. Things like that. Think about it carefully. Especially nowadays, people tend to plan their own weddings.

What you want is to look for courses for event planning. So you will take all the normal classes, plus business classes and event planning. Once you are out of school you will then need to get a job in the wedding industry with either a wedding planning company, bridal shop or other vendor to build experience, then you will be ready to start your own business. Do lots of research while in school, you could probably even get a part time job in a bridal shop then.
Good luck!

You don't want to deal with Math you definately cannot be a wedding planner. Budgets, your finances of daily book keeping, percentages to vendors...all of that requires plenty of math as well as studying econmics which has a healthy mix of math and social studies.

you don't have to major in business to be a wedding planner. You basically can major in anything because there is no degree requirement but try to aim for hospitality, culnary field since it requires event planning and working with vendors.
