In this week's episode we give Wed & Bed a twist. Today our guest of honor is Olivia, a bride-to-be, who's opting for a vacation rental as her wedding venue thanks to the wedding trend that has gone viral on Tik-Tok.
But why choose a vacation rental over a traditional venue? Is it all about saving those Benjamins, or does it offer the intimacy and exceptional amenities that today's couples crave? Today, we're diving headfirst into the point of view from the other side for how to make wedding planning more unique and budget-friendly than ever before.
Choosing the right location for your wedding is no small task. It's crucial to take your time and select the perfect backdrop for your special day. We'll explore the factors that guided Olivia's decision and why it's essential to figure out where you want to say, "I do."
To all the brides planning their STR (short-term rental) wedding, Olivia has some golden advice to share. What are your priorities: a grand affair or an intimate gathering? Is there a specific season that resonates with your love story? How flexible are your dates, and what vacation rental amenities are you dreaming of? And let's not forget our fur-babies - are they a "must-have" at the wedding? Olivia will walk us through these and other crucial considerations for honing in on your wedding plans.
For all you vacation rental owners out there, get ready to hear firsthand what stands out to brides like Olivia when they're planning their STR wedding. Discover from a bride's point of view who the "must-have" vendors are for an STR wedding. And remember, sometimes it's best to let the professionals do what they do best!
But wait, there's more! Are you up to date on the latest flower controversy? Have you heard of sola flowers? Our co-host Ruby is a big fan of these wooden flower bouquets, and Olivia will share how she fell in love with this unique trend. But don't dismiss your florist just yet! Helen, our other co-host, will provide insights into the intricate work of florists and why they come with the price tag they do. Whether you go real or opt for wooden blooms, the key is to find someone who aligns with your vision and can execute it flawlessly.
And as a bonus treat, we'll throw another flower option into the mix with Ruby giving us an insider look at the latest flower trend sweeping Texas by storm. Plus, we'll share a bride tip bonus: seeking out small businesses that might be just starting out to get a great deal and save some dough on your wedding.
