Ep 1: Engagement chat - Sarah (bridal party, budget)

Something new! In today's episode I talk to Sarah who is recently engaged for our first episode of "Engagement chat" (open to other suggestions of names if anyone has one!). A new little series I'm putting together so that we can dive deep into some of those early questions, problems or things that you're excited about during your wedding planning. 
Sarah has been a bridesmaid 8 or 9 times and so this episode is filled with lots of advice she has for brides and bridesmaids - we talk about nightmare stories, how to set expectations with spending and commitments, how to choose.
We also talk about where she's at with her own planning, what are some of the conversations her and her fiance have had and what she's most excited for in wedding planning. 
If you are in any stage of your wedding planning and just want to have a chat (about literally anything, I loooove to yap) slide into my DM's!
