Surprise! Popping into your feeds today with a bonus episode, a recording from our live in-person event back in August 2025.

This includes my conversations with makeup artist Kate Solley, bridal designer Trish Peng and wedding planner Astrid from PS. I Love You and Forever Starts Now. Also, some of the Q&A we had with all of them.

I hope this episode gives you a taste of what a TKWP live event is like, and I look forward to planning more in 2026.
