Other topics covered include: How an officiant helps you craft your ceremony and add meaning that is true to you as a couple; the three basic parts of a ceremony; when to address conflict with family members (spoiler alert: WELL before the wedding day); and the importance of taking into account the expectations surrounding traditions with any family or other stakeholders.

Two Wedding Planners, One Candid Conversation, with Holly Gray
00:47:49
Hello friends! I've got a special episode of the pod this week welcoming my good friend and fellow wedding planner Holly Gray from Anything But Gray Events. This week, Holly and I get real about wedding budgets, why we sometimes (kindly) say no, respecting your wedding vendor boundaries, and so much more!
While this episode may sound spicy at times, our approach is filled with respect for the couples we work with. Bottom line: We have years of experience as wedding planners, and we'd love to help you plan an incredible wedding, if you let us. Listen anywhere you find great podcasts for more of our conversation.
This week on The Leap Lifestyle Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome my friend Emma Seitz, owner and lead floral designer of Leta Verbena Floral Design, based in Los Angeles. Emma began her career as an attorney (!!), but transitioned into the hospitality industry as a wedding planner and florist, ultimately pivoting to solely focus on floral design.
In this episode, Emma and I discuss floral design from a budgetary perspective. First, we want you to know that every couple has a different perspective on their floral budget, and it's important to know that you have permission to have whatever budget works for you. Does that mean you will always get huge floral arrangements, no, but that does mean you have leeway to play with design options to find the perfect match between budget and the outcome you were hoping for when it comes to your wedding florals.
We also discuss best use of your floral budget by focusing on those florals that will be most prominently displayed at your wedding, as well as those florals that will be most photographed. Remember, your guests are not attending your wedding to see your flowers, they want to see you. That said, flowers are an important element to the overal aesthetic and finished feel of your day, so we're not at all saying you don't need flowers (spoiler alert, you do).
Emma and I touch on what homework you should do prior to having a consultation with a florist, why the magic begins at your floral mockup appointment, and so much more.

Setting Boundaries and Expectations for a Happier Wedding Planning Experience with Margaux Fraise

This week on the Leap Lifestyle Podcast, we're talking with wedding planner and wedding industry educator Margaux Fraise about creating boundaries and setting expectations around your wedding.
Even if you're just a few days into being engaged, you've probably already witnessed the heightened emotions that accompany the wedding planning process.

Creating boundaries and setting expectations are among the most effective strategies to employ with everyone who will be a part of your wedding.

Why a Wedding is a Luxury and Protecting your Wedding Investment with Danielle Pasternak
00:39:33
This week on The Leap Lifestyle Podcast, we're thrilled to have Danielle Pasternak, owner and wedding planner at DPNAK Events, and co-host of the Put a Ring On It wedding podcast.
In this episode, Danielle shares with us why having a wedding is a luxury, and why it is so important to hire professionals to protect your investment in your wedding. By re-framing your wedding and approaching it as a luxury experience for you and your guests, there is a natural perspective shift that leads to a more enjoyable planning process overall. After all, you deserve to have fun, be present, and enjoy every minute of your wedding day with as little stress and worry as possible.
Danielle also walks us through what a Coordinator or Wedding Manager is, and how hiring someone to be in charge on your wedding day (other than you, your mom, your bridesmaids) can positively enhance the experience you take away from your wedding day. As Danielle so astutely points out, a wedding day is a 24-hour day like any other day, where some things are going to go as planned, some not quite as planned, and having someone on your team to help manage the "not quite as planned" aspects so that you can focus on ALL the things that are wonderful about your wedding day, is so important.
You can find Danielle on the web at www.dpnakevents.com and on instagram @dpnak. Also, be sure to tune in for more amazing wedding planning advice on Danielle's podcast Put a Ring On It.
Samantha is a pro at fostering amazing relationships with clients and vendors alike, and in this episode we chatted about selecting the perfect vendors for your wedding. On the surface, planning a wedding may look something like: hire great vendors, have a great party. But how do you find those great vendors? Samantha and I share our tried and true methods for finding amazing wedding pros at any budget level, including: --The "right" order for hiring vendors --How many vendors in each category you should interview (it's fewer than you may think) --Who to go to for recommendations for great vendors --Why honesty is the best policy when interviewing and hiring vendors --Expectations for your vendors, and why that is a two-way street, and so much more! This episode is jam packed with information that you can use immediately as you plan your big day.
