26 Sep 202205: Laura & Ed - The pros of a small wedding ceremony and a big reception party00:31:10

Not thrilled about the idea of sharing your most private emotions in front of a stack of people on your wedding day? Recently married Adelaide couple, Laura and Ed felt exactly the same way.
 
In Episode 5 of the Unbridely Modern Wedding Planning podcast we chat with Ed and Laura about how a big traditional wedding didn't excite them and their compromise of an intimate wedding ceremony during the day and a big surprise party that same night. 

Your host, Celebrant and founder of Unbridely, Camille Abbott, delves into their planning choices around how they chose to reveal the surprise to their loved ones, the big budget advantages to doing a wedding the same way and a couple of less than perfect moments that happened on their wedding day that they couldn't fix, but they rolled with anyway.

10 Oct 202207: How 'dating' your photographer can get you better wedding photos with James Day Weddings00:26:52

What if the key to booking your people, the wedding vendors who get you, who you can share a laugh with during your most vulnerable moments and who lift you up, was more akin to dating than checking of a to-do list?

Host of of the  Unbridely Modern Wedding Planning podcast, founder of Unbridely and Australian marriage celebrant, Camille Abbott, interviews James Day, an emotive and epic wedding photographer based in New South Wales, Australia.

Make sure you have a listen to his incredible story about Steph and Rob's wedding and how, even though Steph is legally blind, he found a way to create an immersive and unforgettable momento for her; one that she can revisit again and again.

31 Oct 202210: Sarah & Jack - Remember your why; important lessons from planning an interstate COVID wedding00:26:58

Do you remember when the daily presser from the state Premiers was something that you actually cared about?

Imagine organising a wedding during that time. 

And then imagine doing it from interstate. 

Sarah and Jack were planning their SA wedding from NSW and had to make some pretty tough decisions very quickly. And even though covid is not stopping us in our tracks like it was last year, there is still heaps to take away from Jack and Sarah’s experience. 

You’ll learn how making sure that you really connect with your wedding vendors and find suppliers who get your vision and can match your energy will make all the difference, how to set an intention for your wedding day, 

Tips to make sure that your wedding party and any other people getting ready with are not stressed out and who Sarah recommends you take with you wedding dress shopping before you make your final decision.

07 Nov 202211: How to choose the perfect wedding cake for the season, your guests and your budget with Lyons Den Cakes00:21:08

Did you know there are summer wedding cakes and winter wedding cakes?

As in different flavours, fillings and frostings that are better suited to warmer days versus those that might be better suited to cooler days? 

And how the length of time you want your cake to be on display, the available refrigerated storage options and air conditioning at your venue, plus the expertise of your cake baker, all play a part in working out how much you're going to pay for the cake you really want. 

In Episode 11 of the Unbridely Modern Wedding Planning podcast, your host, founder of Unbridely and Australian marriage celebrant, Camille Abbott interviews Terresia of multi-award-winning Lyons Den Cakes to help you work out the most cost-effective way to get the style of wedding cake you love and make sure it looks amazing, and still tastes incredible, by the time you and your guests get to tuck into it.  

Make sure you listen for Terresia’s “dirty little cake secret”, find out how to take care of your guests that have dietary needs, and learn about the compromises you might need to make, and the things to look out for, if you choose a cake baker that doesn't have a lot of experience.

21 Nov 202213: Best prep secrets for a wild music-vid wedding film with The Costa Sisters00:14:24

You either love ‘em or you hate ‘em.. 

As if the “do we get a wedding videographer or don’t we” question doesn’t divide engaged couples’ opinions enough, the (relatively) new breed of music-vid style wedding videos has people either frothing or frowning from the very first frames. 

And tbh Elena and Sophia are secretly pleased if their vibe doesn’t do it for you. Because they know their fans LOVE what they can bring to their wedding day and to the finished product as well. 

Burgers, bikes and babes The Costa Sisters are self-taught mavericks of the wedding videography space. They turn wedding films into music videos, messed with all the traditional rules and basically have created their own niche. 

Based in Cardiff Wales, they are suckers for a destination wedding and have a filming bucket list that they encourage their couples to help them tick off. The more wild, the better.

In Ep 13 of the Unbridely Modern Wedding Planning podcast your host, award-winning Australian celebrant of 900+ ceremonies and founder of Unbridely, Camille Abbott, chats with The Costa Sisters about their major influences, their planning and prep tips for engaged couples to create a wild video style, and why trust and communication about your insecurities early on is super important.

And make sure you listen right to the end for their craziest wedding story.

09 Jan 202320: 6 Essential Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Pick Your Bridesmaids00:17:05

I bet you’ve had this vision in your head for years now;

You’re livin' it up with your bridesmaids, on endless summer days laughing in the sunshine, sipping cocktails and planning your most magical wedding day. 

The reality, unfortunately, is rarely as shiny and perfect as that. 

Often one or two of them are a lot less than enthralled, won’t communicate on the group chat you specifically set up to discuss planning things with, or seem hell-bent on making what should be a wonderful and exciting time as difficult and stressful as possible for you.  

I don’t want that for you. And it all starts with the people you choose to surround yourself with, the ones you keep closest to you.

In this episode, I’m going to teach you the 6 deadset essential questions you need to be asking yourself BEFORE you pick your bridesmaids, groomsmen, or wedding party, including a little history on the early roles of bridesmaids which I think might surprise you and perhaps have you rethinking your expectations too. 

 

Resources Mentioned:

23 Jan 202322: These 3 Important First Steps in Your Wedding Planning Change Everything00:15:27

Every week, newly engaged couples ask me where they should start with their wedding planning. And there are so many conflicting opinions, information and guides available. 

So today I'm going to share with you what I believe to be the 3 indisputable, foundational and crucially important first steps you need to take after you get engaged. This is before you go and book anything in, go to venue opens or start dress shopping. 

I've also sourced some sobering data about wedding debt, which indicates that the quality of your relationship and marriage are more likely to be negatively impacted if you are not addressing step 3 with your fiancé before you get married.

30 Jan 202323: How to get Better Wedding Photos with Time and Intention with Time with Alex00:19:15

“Giving each thing that you do on your wedding day 110% will result in photos that make you feel something.”

Wedding photographer, Alex Szczesniak, from Time With Alex, believes that engaged couples can get better wedding photos by doubling down on their intentions and making smart use of their very limited time. 

 

He also believes that wedding photography is a service first and an art form second and shares how to be more efficient with your family photos, why reception entrances are the worst waste of time ever, and why he let his Mum tell him who to invite to his own wedding.

06 Feb 202324: Weddings are a team sport Manage My Wedding podcast guest interview00:52:16

This week I’m sharing the guest interview I did with Yvette Sitters on the Manage My Wedding podcast a little while ago.

Yevette is a wedding planner with 22 years of experience, the creator of the Manage My Wedding app, the Manage My Wedding online store and obviously podcast host. She’s a bit of an overachiever, a type-A planner and a family woman.

Yvette asked me what I mean when I say “weddings are a team sport”, how to choose and book your wedding vendors and also my biggest wedding planning tip for engaged couples.

I love the sound of this interview like it’s just a chat between two old friends and yet, it was the very first time we’d ever spoken. Yvette truly practices what she preaches about supporting other women in business and I can’t wait to interview her this year.

13 Feb 202325: 5 smart things to do when you buy a pre-loved wedding dress + Felicia's experience with StillWhite00:32:02

Did you know that some wedding gowns already purchased in anticipation of the big wedding day pre-covid, never got to have their moment in the sun?

This was the case for Felicia’s second-hand wedding dress.

Over the last 3 years with the pandemic and the fallout of travel bans, lockdowns and social restrictions, there has been a wholesale shift and change in many engaged couples’ wedding plans, expectations and budgets.

Felicia purchased her gown on the online platform StillWhite and it had not even been worn as the original owner had planned her wedding, then it was postponed due to complications around covid and then they decided to elope.

Recently married Felicia is a self-confessed “financially meticulous person” and did a whole heap of research before she decided to click the “Contact seller” button.

Fortunately for you, Felicia is really generous and happy to share how she did it and today you’ll learn all about her experience, the pros and cons of buying pre-loved, including local bridal boutique The Bride Lab’s perspective and advice, and the 5 smart things to do when you buy a pre-loved wedding dress.

27 Feb 202327: How to know what kind of suit the groom should wear to the wedding with Oscar Hunt00:29:23

Grooms and those who don a suit for a wedding are expressing themselves more and are generally stepping away from cookie-cutter looks.

Which begs the question, where and how do you even start?

Steven Athinodorou is the Adelaide Showroom & Business Development Manager for Australian made-to-measure tailor, Oscar Hunt.

They create and specialise in custom-made attire, personalised and meaningful suiting and accessories for weddings, special events and everyday business wear as well.

The short story is, Steven knows his stuff.

In this episode you will learn: 

  • a step-by step guide to how to find a suit style that you love
  • the percentage of bow ties vs long neck ties vs no ties that grooms wear
  • how to know if you should wear socks with your suit
  • the difference between a bespoke, made-to-measure and off-the-rack suit.
  • if all of your wedding party need to wear the same suit (and what to do if you’re not going for that look), PLUS
  • how traditional dress code expectations vary between countries and how you may need to create your very own personalised dress code to really communicate the exact vibe you’re going for.

Jordan Kentris is a Canadian maximalist designer of 15+ years and founder of A Good Day who specialise in one-of-a-kind stationery and event branding.

From his years in advertising, communication and design, and his own experiences as a member of the LGBT+ community Jordan has a unique point of view about what inclusivity in weddings really means in practice. HINT: it goes back to the valued, seen, heard, and loved question I asked you before.

Today Jordan is going to teach you 8 easy ways to make your wedding more inclusive including:

There are countless different traditions, superstitions, cultural influences and religions that you may want to consider and include in your wedding planning and your day of activities. 

But the number one thing that I implore you to consider is: 
‘what does this mean to us’?

Your host, Camille Abbott, shares 6 outdated wedding traditions that don't make sense in 2023, and a few ideas for how to give them a bit of a glow-up.

20 Mar 202330: 3 Often Forgotten Aspects That Can Make Your Wedding Ceremony Awesome with Roxy Hotten00:17:18

Sometimes engaged couples feel like they don't have a lot of input into their wedding ceremony and how well it goes. That either the celebrant or officiant gets it right, or very, very wrong. But when you have knowledge about these three key parts of your ceremony, you have the ability to affect the outcome and feel more confident too.

And this is precisely why my chat with gregarious, dynamic, and laid-back celebrant Bridbane-based celebrant, Roxy Hotten, is so important for you to hear.

Roxy is gonna teach you 3 often forgotten aspects of your ceremony. Which, when you give them a little thought and a little pre-planning, can really make a difference to both you and your family and friends. It's the difference between a ceremony that feels amazing and one that your guests are just waiting for it to end.

We chat about Roxy's most memorable ceremony in Egypt, and she shares all about wedding guest care, different recessional options (that's the part where you're walking out as a married couple) and also the perfect length of a ceremony for you.

03 Apr 202332: How to Save $3k on Your Wedding by Being on Top of Your RSVPs00:22:12

According to brides.com, the average wedding guest list has around 15-20% of guests who RSVP they’re not attending. So if you've got a 100-person guest list, for example, this would mean 15 to 20 people are not planning on showing up. 

So you don't need to add them to your numbers for food, drinks, or table decorations. And when you really think about table decorations, you can imagine that each table for your reception may have linen. So tablecloth, napkin plates, glassware, cutlery, centrepieces, table numbers, candles, floral display. 

If we are talking about a full wedding, this cost could easily be around $150 per person. Or $3,000 that you could save on your wedding IF you can get those RSVPs back in time. 

That's a BIG if and therein lies the rub, my friend. 

It's quite distressing, but also super common for wedding guests not to RSVP for many different reasons, but today you'll learn:

  • the 4 main reasons that your family and friends won't RSVP to your wedding on time, 
  • plus the 6 ways that you can be proactive about it and change the result, which could potentially save you around $3k on your wedding!

10 Apr 202333: How to Create a Banger Wedding Ceremony Vibe (with no apologies) with Nat Sproal00:30:48

You know that one friend that says everything you are thinking, but out loud with virtually no filter? For me, in the celebrant world in Australia, this is Nat Sproal

I feel like we share the same brain, but while, believe it or not, I'm a little more reserved in saying these thoughts in public, Nat, just don't care. 

And it's genius because it's also part of her charm and marketing as one of the most in-demand celebrants in the country. So when I wanted to share with you the nuts and bolts of what makes for a banger of a ceremony, I knew I had to bring her on the podcast so you can reap the spoils of her worldly wisdom and delight in her no holds barred perspective with me. 

Today you’ll learn: 

  • how to kick off your ceremony,
  • why you might want to consider having your wedding party sit down
  • how Ninja Vows work (and why they're hilarious), plus 
  • fascinating factoids about weddings that you will never be able to un unhear (like what the cutting of your wedding cake actually symbolises). 

And you know how sometimes in life, you might not realize it at the time, but later you can see, how you held back; that you didn't really do what you wanted to? You regret it, and you’re essentially waiting for someone to give you permission?

This is the permission episode for your wedding ceremony. 

So buckle up because it’s rated SS for super sweary, but also supremely satisfying.

17 Apr 202334: How to Give an Amazing Wedding Speech (even if you're really nervous) with Authentically Funny Speeches00:39:41

The fear of public speaking, or Glossophobia, is believed to affect up to 75% of the population. 

So when your sister, best friend or daughter tells you that they want you to do a speech at their wedding and you’d rather stay at home and pull out your toenails with a pair of pliers, you're not alone.

But rather than adhering to the “fake it until you make it” principle, Beth Sherman believes that being honest and self-aware is actually a funnier and more smart approach for your speech.

Beth is a stand-up comedian, multi-Emmy award-winning comedy writer and the founder of Authentically Funny Speeches, where to date she's ghost-written more than 300 wedding speeches.

Today Beth is going to share with you:

  • how to reframe how you think about speeches,
  • what an engaged couple can do to help their speakers,
  • how to stop your voice from shaking, and
  • why you need to get rid of the mic the second after you’ve done the speech.

01 May 202336: Why child-free weddings are so controversial + adults-only wedding wording00:19:52

Aaaah, kids; on one hand, they can be cute, while on the other hand, they can be a massive distraction. So how are you going to work out which children (if any) are invited to your wedding? 

If you’re planning an adults-only wedding, you might be shocked at how some parents will take your decision as a personal affront. 

It’s best to be prepared with some strategies to communicate your decision as early and clearly as possible to minimise hurt feelings and damaged relationships. 

Today you’ll learn: 

  • The pros and cons of inviting children to your wedding,
  • why parents might get upset when their kids aren’t invited,  
  • how to word your wedding invitations for an adult-only wedding, and 
  • how to respond when your guest says they won’t attend your wedding unless their kid is invited.

08 May 202337: Tegan and Rohan - Hard Family Conversations and Spending Your Money on What Matters00:55:13

I’m almost 100% certain that all engaged couples have this same problem.

And even though you think it’s unique, that your family is a bit embarrassing, or out of the ordinary, I can assure you that every family has their quirks.

You can’t choose your family and often, your relationship with them is not simple either. 

It can get real messy real quick, especially when you’re talking about who you’re going to invite and the roles you want to give them for your wedding.

For Rohan and Tegan, who got married late last year, they certainly had their share of emotion-charged conversations with their loved ones. But I remember thinking at the time, that I had never heard of a couple who had handled it better and knew that I had to get them to share their approach with you.

Today you’ll learn: 

  • where Tegan and Rohan drew the line about what they were going to spend their budget on when the wedding tax bit hard, 
  • how Tegan decided to include her father and step-father in their ceremony and reception, 
  • and the tough conversations they needed to have when they opted to cut down their wedding guest numbers.

If you’re struggling to assert yourself so you can have the wedding day you really want, Rohan and Tegan also have some great advice at the end about how delegating small tasks to your family and friends actually increases their connection to your wedding day and you.

22 May 202339: How Multi-day Wedding Events Help You Create More Meaningful Connections with Anthem House00:33:56

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: “Your wedding day goes by so quickly”. And you’re like, what the hell am I meant to do about that? 

The answer is multi-day weddings. In some cultures and religions, they’ve been doing it for centuries, but in Western culture, we’re only just starting to understand the possibilities. And this is where Dana and Courtney come in.

As owners of Anthem House, they specialise in multi-day wedding events that span over 2, 3 or even 4 days and know ALL the ins and outs to make them successful without wearing you out or sending you broke, either.

Today Courtney and Dana will teach you:

  • The different types of non-wedding day events you might want to host
  • Which guests to invite, how and when
  • The rise of more of an after-wedding vacation for you and your closest family and friends, PLUS
  • How to be prepared, pace yourself and look after your mental health during an extended weekend of celebrating too.
  • And we also solve a personal mystery for me when we chat about what the Americans call a rehearsal dinner – I mean, what the hell are they DOING over there anyway?

05 Jun 202341: 4 Opportunities To Add Spirituality To Your Ceremony (even if you're not religious) with Minister Toya00:29:45

Do you think of yourself as spiritual? 
Have you ever had a spiritual experience? 

Or are you more like my family and have an unnatural distrust of, and take personal offence to, alternative health practices, let alone spirituality? It's funny, but it's just not something that my family has ever really explored or taken an interest in, and yet, I like to think of myself as a spiritual person.

In the context of your wedding and in particular your ceremony, how can you express your beliefs in a way that aligns with how you are most at ease? And if you've come from a similar background to me, doesn't feel too woo-woo for you and doesn't necessarily refer to a particular religion as such.

Today I'm jamming with New Orleans Wedding officiant Minister Toya whose diverse couples have been featured in Vogue and Martha Stewart Weddings and many, many others. 

As a wedding officiant, marriage, and spiritual coach, LaToya serves couples that want personalized attention, authentic joy, a whole lot of magic and genuine connection throughout their journey.

You'll learn about:

  • the 4 opportunities you have to infuse your ceremony with spirituality, even if you're not religious,
  • why LaToya only takes one ceremony a day now (as opposed to the four, which she's done in the past), and 
  • her pre-wedding rituals (which are a lot more practical than you might think).

12 Jun 202342: The Huge Advantages of Eloping - Why They Are Growing in Popularity00:24:06

Picture this, the breathtaking vista of a remote and luxurious destination, romantic and meaningful forever moments when life just seems to go in slow motion and a day that revolves exclusively around the both of you, your love story and your desires.

And the best part? You'll get to do all of this while saving time, your hard-earned money and your sanity!

Whether you are a globe-trotting, adventurer, a busy career-focused individual, maybe you are incredibly impulsive or you're someone who simply values quality over quantity. You may be attracted to the relative simplicity, shorter lead times, and ease of eloping. 

And if you are also trying to juggle work, study your social and family life, health goals, travel and personal growth, it's no real surprise why planning a wedding on top of all of this might feel a bit much.

In this episode, Camille will cover: 

  • the 6 huge benefits of eloping including some insights into the 2023 EasyWeddings Industry report on the average cost of a wedding in Australia, plus
  • the downsides of running away and getting married, including
  • a few recommended ways to navigate those difficult conversations that need to be had with immediate family and your best friends.

19 Jun 202343: Why You Might Want A Wedding Content Creator (and what they are) with The Wedding Creators00:40:04

Wedding content creators have been popping up around the world over the last 6 months or so, supplying newlyweds with ready-to-post Reels, TikToks, photos and videos of their wedding day, often within 24 hours. 

They can be used to make an announcement to your family and friends after you elope, as a fun way to revisit your day, to share with loved ones who can’t make it or even as a video guest book. 

 Lex from Lexicon Creative is going to teach you all about how content creation works for weddings including: 

  • what a wedding content creator does, 
  • why you might want one and 
  • how it’s different from asking your little sister to take BTS photos.

We also share how Lex and her team work with your professional wedding photographer and/or videographer, how the process works, the costs and why you want to get a content creator who’s not a dickhead. Very important.

03 Jul 202345: Why This Pro Wedding Makeup Artist Hates Before And After Photos with Wedded Kiss00:34:40

With her infectious energy and inclusive mindset, Nina creates a safe space where everyone that sits in her chair can feel truly seen and celebrated.

In this interview, Nina shares: 

  • why she doesn’t believe in before and after photos, or 
  • buy into the culture of continually changing hair and makeup trends,
  • why your wedding beauty team needs to do SO MUCH more than just paint your face, and
  • why her approach can be crucial to how your entire wedding day runs and feels.

Nina will also teach you what to do about your wedding makeup if you're a crier and how best to communicate with your hair and/or makeup artist if you can't do a trial.

Imagine staying in a private and luxurious architecturally designed off-grid eco-suite for two located in the heart of the incredible Fleurieu Peninsula region.

Truly an incredible experience for your birthday celebrations, right?

But what if you upped the stakes (pun intended) and decided to elope while you were there?

How do you start planning for something like that and what sort of timeframe do you need? This was Aaron and Steph’s experience in planning their birthday getaway turned elopement earlier this year.

From what to wear (be sure to check out the Unbridely Instagram feed for photos of Steph’s showstopping Zimmerman dress), to who to tell, when and how, the newly married couple share their thought process.

You’ll learn:

·   the significant advantages of mid-week elopements,

·   their budget,

·   and also how they made sure that their immediate family didn’t feel disappointed or left out when they revealed that they’d already gotten married without them.

24 Jul 202348: How Introverts Can Create Their Dream Wedding with Comfort & Ease00:25:43

Can I confess something? 

I know I lean towards the introversion side of the scale because 8/10 when I plan any kind of outing with a group of people, even if I love them and I'm excited to see them, I always need to have an escape plan for when it becomes too much. 

It feels like an overload of talking, thinking, and general noise, and I crave some quiet to gather my thoughts again and recharge.

So if you or your fiancé feel similarly and you tend to have a more introverted personality type, planning your wedding may come with some unique additional challenges. 

In this ep you’ll learn: 

  • About introversion and extroversion and how these personality traits can show up in your wedding planning and affect your needs and preferences
  • 11 practical tips and strategies for managing your wedding as an introvert to make the process and the celebration more fun, smooth and comfortable.

31 Jul 202349: How To Share Your Story Through Your Wedding Flowers with Tweed Twigs00:28:43

Wedding bouquets and floral design at weddings in general have evolved a lot over the years. 

Today, flowers are not only used as decorative elements in weddings but can also evoke memories, tell a story, pay tribute to those who’ve passed away and even signal to your guests where they can find you (*cough* at the bar).

In fact, Graham of Tweed Twigs encourages his couples to recount the specifics of important moments that he can weave into the design of his florals to create a sense of connection and unique intentionality too.

Today Graham is going to teach you: 

  • why flowers have never been more expensive,
  • and how to be creative with your flower budget so you can make more of an impact with what you’ve got,
  • how event florists differ from a retail flower shop,
  • plus how your personal stories and memories can be a springboard for your wedding decor plans.

07 Aug 202350: Unbridely Modern Wedding Gift Etiquette; is asking for cash tacky?00:16:19

There are so many potential pitfalls for engaged couples and their guests around wedding gifts.  

Did you know that kitchen knives, mirrors umbrellas, and anything secondhand or re-gifted could not only be considered a little strange, but also bad luck for the couple getting married? 

Then there are the conflicting values between different cultures.

In the United States asking for money as a wedding gift can still be interpreted as a bit tacky. Whereas in most European and Asian cultures, the gift of money is essential, and in fact, it's considered disrespectful to not give the appropriate amount, depending on your social standing and your closeness to the couple getting married. 

In this episode, I share: 

  • what wedding gift etiquette looked like in the past,
  • plus 4 easy steps to making sure you get what you want, how you want it, communicate your wishes to your family and friends and also thank them in a reasonable timeframe for their contributions.

14 Aug 202351: Why Your Most Beautiful & Healthy Wedding Hair Is All About The Prep with NFM Hair00:25:35

I’m the bad hair client who has been known to cut their own fringe, use box dyes and supermarket shampoo as well!

And then I feel the guilts the next time I need to go back - like a naughty kid who is about to be told off.

So when I saw the lovely Neve from NFM Hair posting on her socials about hair tips for brides and one of them was as crucial and helpful as finishing your hair and makeup with an hour to spare to make sure that you’re not stressed, have time for a drink and can just chill with your squad before your ceremony or whatever’s coming up next – I knew I had to get her to give you all the deets on how to prepare for your wedding hairstyle without the guilt trip.

How to make sure that in the weeks or months leading up to your wedding you are doing the best you can with what you’ve got.

Today you’ll learn:

  • When and how it’s best to start preparing your hair
  • All about heat protection and preventative strategies to alleviate any damage
  • Whether you should wash the night before your wedding (or not) and what that means for your stylist, PLUS
  • How to pick your alternate or plan B hairstyle in case the wind, humidity or rain is not so great on the day.

21 Aug 202352: What If Your Guests Think Your Wedding Is Boring?00:19:04

Have you had this nightmare yet?

That none of your guests:

  • aren't going to enjoy themselves, 
  • that you aren’t going to be great hosts, or 
  • that your wedding is going to be boring?

It’s a sentiment that I can really relate to, but I’ve got to say, looking back now, those worries were perhaps some of the biggest wastes of my time in my entire planning experience.

Spoiler alert, they’re dumb, unnecessary and possibly (depending on how far you take it) a waste of your hard-earned money too.

So I’d like to share a little research that I did about the long-term memories of our wedding guests, what mattered to them and what has lingered the standout of our wedding celebration 9 years ago.

I also share what your guests really need to not be bored, and hence for you to not have a boring wedding, plus a reality check for those adults who claim to be bored.

28 Aug 202353: Mikaela & Alex - the Musts and Must-Nots of Their Wine Bar, Feels-first, Dancey Anti-wedding00:37:30

Have you ever wondered what’s the point of even having a wedding or why you want to get married in the first place?

In my conversations with people, they are really starting to question, why do we want to do this and what does it even mean?

This was definitely the case for Alex and Mikaela, who chose an urban winery and wine bar venue for their unique take on their wedding celebration.

In this episode, the newlyweds share:

  • their must have and must NOT haves wedding checklist,
  • how starting the day early with their greyhounds, local coffee and their photographer was one of the best decisions they made,
  • and also how their segmented guest list ensured that their immediate family and friends got to spend a little more quality time with them.

Plus, they tell us about the things they forgot, but don’t regret and how their shindig was so enticing that they even had wedding crashers too!


Mikaela and Alex’s wedding vendors:

Photography: James Field Photography

Venue: Oddio Bowden

Catering: Cargo Catering & Sunny’s Pizza

Celebrant: Camille Abbott Celebrant
Alex's suit: Adelaide Suiters & Drapers
Mikaela's dress: Addision Ash

04 Sep 202354: How To Love The Body You Get Married In with Sami Rose00:35:52

Have you ever been invited to a special event, like a big birthday party, and immediately calculated the number of days, weeks or months until that event because you’re trying to work out how much weight you might be able to lose, or put on, before then?


Increasingly newly engaged people are being targeted for Wed shred programs and bridal boot camps and it’s not unusual to be asked by well-meaning, but less-than-tactful family and friends what your weight loss plan is, or how much you want to lose before your big day.

Sami Rose is an advocate for body neutrality and helps people make peace with food and their bodies and be kinder to themselves. 

Sami is going to teach you: 

  • why your impending wedding date is not the best deadline or motivation for sustainable lifestyle change or your happiness,
  • why being at your thinnest or smallest doesn’t necessarily mean looking or feeling your best, and
  • some handy questions to help you reframe the way you think about your body image. 

I also share a message from one of my brides about how she feels her family have been detrimental to her body image from a very young age and what Sami recommends she do when it comes to shopping for her wedding dress.  

And stay listening to the end for Sami’s best tips for keeping your confidence high, prioritising your health goals and how to love how you feel in the body you get engaged, and married, in.

11 Sep 202355: 7 Huge Wedding Dress Questions Answered By A Bridal Stylist with the Pronovias Group00:53:21

9 years ago I was so embarrassed about my budget, style, appearance and size, that I didn’t even set foot into a bridal store at all.

And if my recent DMs with listeners, and my couples are anything to go by, nothing has really changed either. 

The search for your wedding attire still really comes down to confidence and your knowledge of how, where and when, rather than what the market or online options can offer you at any given time.

And this is why I’m incredibly excited for you to listen to my interview with Bianca Velt-Herron who is currently the Aus/NZ Sales Manager for 3 labels from the Spanish bridal house the Pronovias Group.

Bianca is going to teach you:

  • How, when and where to start your wedding dress search,
  • What options there are for inclusive sizing,
  • Why buying online probably won’t save you money,
  • Why some stores charge fees for appointments,
  • How many people you can bring along with you, and
  • Why you might not be allowed to take photos in-store.  

Stay listening until the end to find out what Bianca’s key highlights are in wedding fashion for the 2024 season.

18 Sep 202356: 90% of Wedding Advice Is Crap + 22 PSAs For Savvy Engaged Couples00:29:24

I would hazard a guess that there's a 90%, an extremely high chance, that you are listening to and working with advice and recommendations about your wedding with information from people who don't have a clue.

With 15 years and over 900 wedding ceremonies experience myself, a background as a wedding and events manager, extensive hospitality work, and a degree in performance jazz, I can also assure you that even I don't know everything you need to know either.

In this episode, you will learn: 

  • why you shouldn't listen to everyone’s advice, opinions and recommendations about your wedding, 
  • how to know if recommendations and advice are valuable for your specific needs, and then 
  • my top 22 PSAs or public service announcements, that I really hope will be valuable for you.

02 Oct 202358: Yes, The Post-Wedding Blues are Real; Here's How to Skip Them00:15:15

Imagine your wedding planning is like the unfolding and riveting story of an adventure novel and your wedding is the last chapter where everything comes together.

It’s when the drama gets resolved, the narrative comes full circle and the heroes (that’s you and your fiancé) have their time to shine.

But what if the final chapter of your story was not as satisfying as you’d hoped? Maybe the closing remarks weren’t hopeful or filled with meaning, maybe one of your favourite people didn’t get their justice, or maybe the ending was so spectacular that you’re quite simply devastated that there’s no more to come.

And just like when you’ve closed the book on an incredible read, finished binging your new fave series or just heard the final siren of the season, the time after your wedding celebrations can be a big letdown.

It's commonly known as the post-wedding blues. 

And while it’s not the end of the world, it’s a bummer and with a couple of tweaks to what is most probably already in your plans, you can nix most of the unpleasantness and get on with your married life with renewed vigour and purpose!

So today I’m going to share:

  • The different ways that the post-wedding blues can show up in your life,
  • 9 different reasons why you might be feeling this way, and
  • How to skip most of the bullshit too!

09 Oct 202359: Your Wedding Processional - How To Make It Your Own and LOVE It00:23:22

Most civil ceremonies in Australia start with what’s known as the processional; when certain people enter the ceremony space, typically down an aisle that is formed between the assembled guests, in a specific order to mark the beginning of a wedding ceremony.

Really, there are no limits and a question that I’m hearing more and more in my role as a marriage celebrant over the last few years in particular is: “do we have to have a processional, at all?” And the short answer is… no

But this is also when many engaged couples get stuck, what IS the alternative? How can we make it our own? And what does that even look like?

Today, I’ll teach you:

  • WHAT a typical processional might look like in a non-religious wedding ceremony here in Australia.
  • WHY you might want to change it up or skip it altogether, and what you could in that instance
  • WHO you can include, and who you really should avoid including (I’m looking at you children under 5 and animals)
  • And HOW you can do it in a way that you actually look forward to and feel comfortable with, including some ideas and tips for those nervous or awkward types.

16 Oct 202360: How Rethinking your Wedding Outfit Can Achieve Sustainability and Style with Hilandel00:49:46

This episode comes with a language warning, Hillary is, like me, a fan of swearing and spreading it around like seasoning in her conversation. We clicked pretty much instantly. 

And she’s got some brilliant ideas to share with you about the re-wearing, repurposing and repeating of your outfits, both for the wedding, before and after.

The Hilandel owner and designer creates wedding attire with a focus on feminism, sustainable fashion and body neutrality so she is a perfect fit for the Unbridely podcast and I think you’re going to LOVE her no-nonsense straight talk.

Today Hillary will teach you:

  • The one big question you want to ask yourself before you even start thinking about designing or shopping for your wedding outfit
  • Some key points to consider when you’re arranging deliveries, or working out where your wedding flowers and food leftovers are going after your celebrations are over, and
  • Why you can maybe skip buying those bridal pumps and get something that you really want.

 

And stay listening to the end for Hillary’s thoughts on how the Australian wedding industry stacks up against the rest of the world.

23 Oct 202361: Micro-weddings With Massive Impact: Why Size Really Does Matter with WedShed00:33:11

While large weddings are often a blast because of the vibe that lots of people gathered together can bring and the go-go-go, smaller weddings have advantages that you might not appreciate at first glance. 

Some of the most intimate, and moving experiences I've had at weddings are those with just a handful of highly invested family and friends.

 Sometimes it’s the smaller micro weddings and the time and space they allow for everyone who attends, that feel a little more intentional, with guests that are present and deeply involved.

This week my guest, the incredible, Amy Parfett, co-founder of WedShed, Gravy and now author, is going to break micro weddings down for you.

 You'll learn:

• how post-covid times and the cost of living crisis are affecting wedding plans, trends and timing of getting married.

• the big advantages of little micro weddings, and

• Amy's easy 3 step, how-to-get-started guide for planning a micro wedding of your very own.

06 Nov 202363: 12 Different Ways To Honour Your Mum in Your Wedding00:29:09

Dads sometimes get invited to a first look with their daughter, the bride. 
Dad gets to walk her down the aisle.
Dad gets to say “I do” in the giving away section of the ceremony. 
Dad gets to do a father/daughter dance.
Dad gets to give a speech at the reception.

And Mum gets to..  traditionally, not a whole lot. 
Which may suit your mum just fine.  

But, if those customs and the idea that only the father or male figure gets to be recognised, listened to and featured prominently in their child’s wedding grinds your gears as much as it does mine, you’ll be curious about how you can thoughtfully and seamlessly incorporate your other parents – could be mum, step mum, mother-in-law to be or mother-figure into your wedding and make them feel special, important and loved!

Today you’ll learn 12 different ways to include your Mum in your wedding (because no 2 mums are the same).

13 Nov 202364: Pt 1 - 6 Most FAQ Will Make or Break Your Wedding Day Timeline With Luke John Photography00:34:18

I don’t think it’s too dramatic to say that your wedding day timeline holds the key to much of the success of your wedding day. 

But unfortunately, some engaged couples, don’t invest enough time and thought early enough in their planning, to build out a timeline that truly works for them, their guests, their vendors and their personal tastes and values.

If you get nothing else from this podcast episode I want you to understand that cookie-cutter wedding day timelines don’t really work for most people.

In part one of this two-part episode series, Luke of Luke John Photography will dig into the implications of a poorly thought out wedding day timeline and how a couple might be able to improve their timings to be able to experience the wedding day that they really want.

We will be covering the 6 most frequently asked questions of wedding photographers that affect a couple's timeline. 

In part 1, you’ll learn: 

  • how long you should allow for pre-wedding photos,
  • how having a first look vs not having a first look can affect the timings of your wedding day, and 
  • how much time you need to allow for your photographer and/or videographer to travel, park and set up at your separate first look, ceremony, portrait shoot and reception locations.

04 Dec 202367: How To Write A Memorable And Gracious Wedding Speech For Your Own Wedding with Authentically Funny Speeches00:38:33

I reckon the 3 most likely reasons you’re avoiding writing your wedding speech are:

1) You’re imagining it’s going to be really hard,

2) You’re worried about being judged or criticised, OR

3) You just don’t know where to start and are overwhelmed.

 

Beth from Authentically Funny Speeches has heard it all, though.

And she is the very first Unbridely Modern Wedding Planning Podcast guest that I’ve invited back for a second time (so far) because her first episode receives a huge amount of downloads and you love her advice. 

 

With her years and years of experience, clear explanations and sensitivity to the complexities of family and friend relationships (you know what I mean – your life wouldn’t be worth living if you didn’t mention a CERTAIN person in your speech) Beth will set you on the right track and make you and your new husband, wife or spouse seem like the most generous, warm, and remarkable newlyweds ever.

 

In this episode, Beth teaches you:

· What makes a great speech including the order you want to thank people in, how long it should go for and the incredible benefits of going last, PLUS

· A few comedic tools to bring out when you really want to get the laughs

· What to do if 1 or both of you are introverts (and I think you’re going to be really surprised by Beth’s solution).

 

And make sure you listen to the end because Beth breaks down her 6 part wedding speech framework for you, so you don’t skip a thing and end up looking like a complete legend at the end of it.

 

And if you STILL are freaking out about writing the speech for your wedding, Beth can even hold your hand through the process with fill-in-the-blank templates, speech curation services (so you write it, but she makes it better) and done for you wedding speech writing too.

Ho Ho Ho Happy Engagement Season!

If you’re getting, or have just gotten, engaged, congratulations beautiful! Drink it all in and revel in your love bubble. 

As I’m meeting and chatting with more experts in relationships and psychology and reading about studies about the financial health of marriages and those that are most likely to go the distance, it seems to me that: 

A) we should’ve been given the heads up on this stuff in school,

and

B) these crucial topics are something that everyone should be working through and thinking about well before they get engaged.

 Today you’ll learn about the 11 key topics to discuss with your partner before you get engaged according to the experts.

08 Jan 202470: How To Book The Best Wedding Vendors For Your Style, Budget, and Personalities00:25:47

You want ease. 

You want to be surrounded by problem solvers. 

You want to have their technical expertise and people with great energy who will not only do their job, but help you to get excited too. 

You want to choose the right wedding vendor team the first time around because it’s also super uncomfortable to have to let a vendor go, and because of contracts, potentially costly as well. 

So to kick off this year, I'm going to teach you how to research, find, and book the best wedding vendors that align with your style, budget, and personality.

15 Jan 202471: The 8 Essential DIY Wedding Flowers Tips I Wish I'd Known with 50Flowers00:44:34

I’m pretty sure I’ve shared my very own DIY wedding flower disaster story with you before on the podcast.

But as the lessons are both timeless, relevant and in hindsight, pretty funny too, it bears repeating especially in the context of interviewing Liza from Fifty Flowers in the United States.  

Liza is a trailblazing entrepreneur, a hot yoga enthusiast and the owner-operator of one of the biggest, most education-supported, customer-centric and innovative farm-to-arms DIY wedding flower companies in the world.

Today Liza is going to teach you:

  • her 8 best tips for budget-conscious couples looking to create stunning floral arrangements on their own,
  • the 3 different levels of involvement you can choose to have with your DIY wedding flowers, and
  • the new wedding trends and shifts she’s seeing for this year including the increased use of AI.

Plus she will share what she considers the biggest misconceptions and mistakes people make with DIY wedding flowers and how you can overcome them.

22 Jan 202472: How To Be Calm, Prepared, Present & Receptive - Wedding Ceremony Foundations00:41:54

Given that I believe 99% of couples want these four things, this is what I'd like to get down to the crux of in this episode: 

  • feeling calm, 
  • feeling prepared, 
  • being present, and 
  • being receptive.

Calm, means an internal knowing that everything is going as it should. 

Being prepared means that you’ve designed a ceremony that fits you and your fiancé, rather than having something pushed upon you. Being able to assert yourself ahead of time, I think is absolutely crucial. 

Being present in your ceremony, emotionally and also in the way that you are reacting to things. So really seeing, hearing all the senses, touching, feeling, smelling, all of those things, drinking it all in. 

And receptive, as in being able to reciprocate and interact with your fiancé and your guests. 

So in this episode, I'm gonna go through lots of little checkpoints.

Some of them will really stick with you and you'll go, oh God, write that down. And some other things you might go, "I don’t even care if it's gonna happen or not". 

This is a bit of a workshop episode for your wedding ceremony. 

I hope is super valuable for you.

29 Jan 202473: What Really Changes After You Get Married? with The Relationship Circle00:35:50

Have you ever asked yourself why you want to get married (with the subtext being, if nothing really changes anyway)?

In 2019 according to the Pew Research centre:

“The decision to get married is a personal one, but for most married adults, love and companionship trump other considerations such as such as the desire to have children someday, convenience or finances.”

But there are some other legal aspects to consider too, including in Australia: that marriage revokes a will unless it was created ‘in contemplation of marriage’, marriage spouses automatically become each other's next of kin, income tax changes, and there could be changes in future property settlements, survivor benefits, health insurance payments and claims, custody of children, maintenance payments and even inheritance.

But you want to know, when you wake up the day after your wedding, what happens then?

Dating and Relationship coach, Beck Thompson, from The Relationship Circle is going to teach you:

  • The changes couples experience once they get married
  • Why you need to work out and talk about your (sometimes) unconscious expectations
  • How to start the discussion about traditional or gender roles and responsibilities, and
  • Understanding the significance of changing your last name after you get married.

05 Feb 202474: How The Increasing Costs For Bridesmaids Is Ruining Friendships00:33:25

When a bridesmaid says ‘yes’ to a bride, they must communicate clearly and early about expectations for commitment, assigned responsibilities and especially the costs. 

But it’s also essential for the bride to be aware of what she’s really asking of her family and friends when she excitedly proposes to them to be in her wedding party in the first place. 

The sentiment of friendship, closeness and fun that a bride may anticipate might not be reflected in real life and at the extremes, I’ve heard of many friendships and family relationships that have ended up destroyed beyond repair when the fairytale doesn’t match what happens when money, responsibilities, time constraints and close relationships all mix into one high-pressure and emotional life-altering event. 


The stakes are high, people.

 So this week, I’m going to delve deep into:

  • The traditional role of bridesmaids and how they've changed,
  • Some examples of the costs you can expect as a bridesmaid,
  • What’s reasonable as far as expectations of a bridesmaid and how to communicate that, and
  • My top tips for the bride and the bridesmaids they choose.

04 Mar 202478: 9 Trending Tweaks That Will Improve Your Wedding Experience And Memories00:24:16

It’s not always the things that you drop heaps of your budget on that will stick in your memory or make your wedding day special.

Sometimes it’s just giving yourself the time and opportunity for things to unfold that will give you the most authentic and wonderful moments and memories of your day.

So if you’re sick of dropping cash every second week towards a new trend just to make your wedding extra fun, unique or the most talked about wedding in your family or group of friends, why don’t you have a listen to these 9 trending wedding tweaks (rather than total and expensive overhauls) because most of them don’t cost a cent and yet are golden opportunities to have a more connected and enjoyable time. 

And make sure you stay listening until number 9, because I think that might be the very best trending tweak of all time.

18 Mar 202480: Why Your Wedding Vows Matter And The Biggest Vows Secret00:17:04

Does this sound like you? 

  • I can't express myself very well. 
  • I'm no good at writing.  
  • I'd be too embarrassed to read them in front of everyone.  
  • What's the point in sharing them with everyone? My fiancé already knows how I feel and it's no one else's business anyway. 

Writing your own personalized wedding vows is more popular than ever. I'm always more than thrilled to help engage couples and show them a simple way to write their very own unique and meaningful vows. And there are several reasons why I'm so passionate about this, which I'd love to share with you today.

Personal, unique vows that no one else in the world could make but you, have so much power, value, intention and emotion, and are in fact, an investment into your relationship. 

What I'd love for you to realise from this episode is the amazing opportunity you have with your wedding vows, to actually be excited to write them and be proud to say them too.

Recently, I've been chatting with some wedding planners and venue owners about the wedding vendor code and how it can impact engaged couples, just like you, as you go about choosing, booking in, questioning and receiving the products and services that are presented to you. 

I want you to be aware of some of the downfalls that the vendor code has so you can make sure you are getting the full story about your vendors’ capabilities, capacity and professionalism. 

I'd love to share with you today, first of all, what the wedding vendor code is, and secondly, the red flags you should be keeping your eye out for that might suggest that someone does not have your best interests at heart.

15 Apr 202484: Quickest Wedding Journalling To Enhance Your Precious Memories00:25:49

What do you think the most frequently repeated sentence about weddings is?

I reckon I know what it is: “It all goes by so fast”.

One of the most lasting ways to preserve your memories, emotions, thoughts and ideas is by writing it down. 

Today, I want to smash through the bullet journalling bullshit and the wedding binder bollocks and share with you:

-     the benefits and why you might want to journal during your engagement and wedding planning (HINT: it is SUPER worth your time)

-      how bullet journalling and wedding binders aren’t worth your time

-      the Unbridely way to journal (it’s non-restrictive and VERY simple).

Is A Seating Chart Absolutely Necessary For Your Wedding? 

The short answer is, it depends.

While I know that’s not what you want to hear, it’s pretty freeing when you work out that ultimately, it is up to you, your fiancé and just a few other considerations as well.

·    the pros and cons of having an unallocated seating arrangement where your family and friends can choose where they want to sit and with whom, and finally,

29 Apr 202486: 5 Important Questions To Ask On Your Wedding Venue Tour00:25:56

There’s a saying in the wedding industry: “if you don’t have a venue booked, you don’t have a wedding date”. It’s all about putting a where to your why.

If you, like me, have decided to plan your own wedding and can't afford to take advantage of a professional wedding planner’s immense knowledge, experience and contacts list, then you want to go into the search for your wedding venue with your eyes wide open.

I have created a checklist for you to go through with each of your wedding venues so you know that you are asking the right questions and recording the answers so you don’t forget them too! And you can DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE WEDDING VENUE BOOKING CHECKLIST PDF HERE.

But today you’re going to learn about 5 extra questions. 5 Qs that are over and above the basic, but are pretty important when it comes to you and your guests, enjoyment, safety, ease of setup and matching your vision with the reality of what your venue can truly offer and will look like with your budget in mind.

06 May 202487: Pt1 - Why Modern Wedding Etiquette Matters & Social Dilemmas with Jamila Musayeva00:35:39

Have you ever felt like your wedding planning is a test that you didn’t study for?

OR

That there are rules and expectations about weddings that you had no idea about until you got engaged?

If so, you are not alone.

The unspoken etiquette of weddings trips up a lot of unsuspecting couples and trust me when I say that more than a couple of disagreements have happened because of cross-communication and hurt feelings that come from someone intending one thing and a friend or family member taking it completely another way.

I am excited to share Part 1 of my interview with Jamila Musayeva who is a certified etiquette teacher, a 3X author on etiquette, and a YouTube creator with nearly 1 Million subscribers, whose main focus is modern international etiquette.

Jamila’s approach intertwines personal development, female empowerment, and cultural appreciation, and strikes a delicate balance between progressive living and preserving traditions.

Today Jamila is going to teach you: 

· What part modern etiquette plays in weddings,

· Who defines the rules of etiquette, and

· Who pays for and/or organises the engagement party and wedding events.

27 May 202490: 6 Key Wedding Hire Tips To Save You From Stress with Honoured Hire00:30:53

Whether you envision a cocktail lounge area, a champagne tower, or beautiful linens for your wedding, you can hire or rent the look and feel of your dreams.

But as easy as it sounds, it's quite a specific process which can sometimes be hard to understand as a customer; the engaged couple hiring these items.

Why do they have certain time windows where you can pick up your items? 

Why don't some places deliver?   

Why does it cost more to transport certain types of items?

Today I’m sharing 6 key wedding hire tips from the team at Honoured Hire, about how to get the best out of your hire and rental items, how to make sure that what you've booked and paid for rocks up, how to return your items properly and not lose your security deposit along the way.

17 Jun 202493: How Your Strengths Determine Whether You Need A Planner, Stylist or Coordinator00:29:52

There are 3 big roles in your wedding which, should you have some strength or previous experience, you may choose to do all by yourself. 

And they are wedding planner, wedding stylist and wedding coordinator. 

But for those without the personality type, skills, connections, time and energy, taking on these responsibilities can seriously affect how you enjoy the lead-up to your wedding, your stress levels, whether or not you can stick to your budget, and also more crucially, how you experience the day itself.

In this episode, you will learn:

1)        the responsibilities and roles that a wedding planner, wedding stylist and wedding coordinator fulfil in your wedding, and then

2)        the personal skills and strengths, experience and talent you need to have to ensure you’ve got their role covered if you choose not to hire a pro for your wedding.

24 Jun 202494: One Click (No App) To Collect Your Wedding Guest's Photos And Videos with Never Miss Moments00:32:50

What are your wedding memories worth to you?

One of the most frequently asked questions that I hear is, how can I easily and securely collect and save the photos that my guests take in the leadup and on my wedding day?

Some people use Facebook groups, but then others won’t go near Facebook, others will use Dropbox, but then realise too late that they’ve run out of storage. And please rest assured that hashtags are dead as well.

So when I heard that serial overachiever, Travis Cornish, had solved this predicament for you, I knew I had to get him to explain it to you himself.

In this episode, Travis will teach you:

  • The simplest way to get your wedding guests to share their photos and videos with you, 
  • plus how to get as many of your guests to participate and be motivated to actually DO IT (because, just in case you didn’t know, getting wedding guests to share photos and videos in the past, has been like pulling teeth).

15 Jul 202497: 7 Reasons To Stop Expecting Bridesmaids To Wear The Same Dress00:17:08

If I have to read or hear about yet another entitled bride bitching and moaning about how her bridesmaids don’t like the style of dress she’s chosen for them, or the colour, how much skin it shows, or they haven’t ordered them when she told them to, I’m going to scream. 

While I’ll always be an advocate for you to have whatever the hell you want for your wedding and I would never say that all tradition should be scrapped for all time, in this day and age, is the angst worth it?

Today I’m going to teach you about where the tradition of bridesmaids all wearing the same dress comes from and why. And then I’ll share my 7 compelling reasons why you might want to stop expecting bridesmaids to wear the same dress or outfit.

And while you might be across what personalised wedding vows are, they are NOT your only option.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

  • what personalised vows, ninja vows and whisper vows are,
  • with some examples of each, plus
