Bridechilla - Wedding Planning Podcast

A special guest host today on Q&A Thursday, my husband Richard, Rich (the often quiet member of the team) joins me as a somewhat reluctant question answerer. We talk about the groom’s involvement in the wedding planning, how to get vendors to take grooms seriously, as equal partners in the organizing process. We also look at the benefits of buying and selling wedding accessories and décor and the advantages of re-jigging your whole idea of a wedding, slashing the guest list and instead of planning an intimate affair. Be on your way to wedding Planning Zen with the Bridechilla Guides!

How many times during your wedding planning journey have you wanted to give it all up and just elope? To ditch the big hitching and take off. Today’s wedding planning podcast is inspired by listener Bernice (and her fiancé Dan) who shared their story with me… ‘For a whole host of reasons we have decided to take off in a few weeks and get married on a beach in Scotland. I guess you could call it an Elopement since it’s just the two of us. But we are taking the time to plan it and have told our closest family and friends about our plans. Is it still an elopement? An open-elopement? Planned elopement? Super exclusive VIP wedding? I mean is it even legal if it isn’t Facebook official?’ I’m all about doing what makes you happy, so today I’m talking about eloping and downsize your existing weddings, creating a small and intimate affair and minimizing the fuss and hassle that you might be feeling, planning a bigger wedding.

In episode 112, a wedding Q&A Thursday episode, listener Olivia is struggling with the fact that most brides remain silent during their wedding. Why don’t we speak? Why must we sit and allow everyone else to talk, when we are a BIG part of why everyone is there!? Harri wants to know about who pays for suits and attire when it comes to groomsmen? I also share an impromptu interview with a bloke I met on a plane, Steve who had a funny and mildly horrific story from his wedding. Be on your way to wedding Planning Zen with the Bridechilla Guides!

What a fabulous, active community we’ve created with the Save The Date Wedding Podcast. I received a lot of feedback about recent listener question from episode 104, when Alicia asked if it was kosher to invite her MOH's cheating, on and off again boyfriend to the wedding, when she really didn't want to see his 'slimy rat face'. Alicia was aware of not hurting her friend's feeling but also didn't want to feel obliged to have the dude there. Well, you really had some things to say about that. I also share some delightful correspondence from two grooms who are regular listeners. It’s great to hear their perspective on wedding planning and what they are looking forward to about marriage and the wedding itself.
