So you’ve booked in your wedding vendors. 
Now what?

We want to go in with the best of intentions. 
We want to work seamlessly with them, have fun doing it and end up with a brilliant result, all while being as efficient as possible. Cause you're still working, right?

This podcast episode is a guidebook for you, about how to get the best out of your wedding vendors for sure,  but while motivating them, and empowering them to give their very best.

You'll learn the 5 main touchpoints, and all about your communication with your supplier team, knowing your budget, understanding the fine print, your timelines and cutoff dates, and finally, how to get them excited, how to make them want to extend themselves over and above what they need to do to make your wedding something truly spectacular.

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.

There’s a good chance you’ve never planned a wedding before and that you’ll only have one shot at it - with no do-overs. Wedding regret is a real thing that can steal joy from the planning, have you feeling anxious on the day and can haunt you afterwards too.

In this special episode of the Unbridely Modern Wedding Planning Podcast, you’ll discover: 

• 4 wedding truths that you need to accept,

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
