Wedding Talk

In this episode I talk to Demi about her wedding to her husband Jesse in March, 2024. They got married in Gippsland and did a lot of DIY for their planning and had help from friends and family with their decorations and planning. 
Their wedding sounds like a super fun party, with 120 guests in attendance! Everything sounds very individualised to them as a couple and they went without a lot of traditional elements.

In this episode I talk to Lauren from ETC Event Styling about her own wedding to her husband, Matt, at Mewburn Park. I loved hearing the perspective of somebody planning their wedding when they have over 10 years of experience in the industry as a wedding planner!
Lauren talks all about how she picked her design elements, how she prioritised including things in her wedding and what she would have done differently (which is refreshing to hear from someone with so much experience!).

This might be the coolest wedding ever - think, tattoo artist, bouncy castle, pink and red florals, neon signs and backstreet boys.

Hello! Because I am SO SHOCKED but also SO HAPPY that we have made it to 6 months we're working through a little compilation episodes where I have pieced together some amazing advice that have been given out by our past couples. What a task it was to choose the advice for this episode, there has been so many great things said. 
I hope you take away from this episode that every single person has a unique experience and that you can learn from every one!
