The Pre Nup: A Wedding Planning Podcast

Broccoli Bouquets, Bachelorette Safety & Why Micro Weddings Are Having a Moment


Listen Later

Have you heard about "Broccoli Gate"? A bride swapped her bridal bouquet for an actual bunch of broccoli — and Adriana has thoughts.

In this solo episode of The Pre Nup, host Adriana Brauckmann breaks down the bridal bouquet alternatives that miss the mark (hello, book bouquets and baby's breath boas) versus the ones actually worth trying, like the single stem and the parasol.

Then she gets into the influencer-ification of bridal parties — why those $5,000 bridesmaid proposal boxes you're seeing online are PR gifting, not a standard to chase — plus real bachelorette party safety tips, honeymoon and venue security (including what to do with your cash gifts), and a full breakdown of why a micro wedding might be the move for your guest list and your budget. She closes with an afterparty rapid-fire round covering the most overrated wedding tradition, the one splurge that's worth it, and how to handle a destination wedding gift.

In this episode:

  • "Broccoli Gate" — the viral bridal bouquet swap breaking the internet
  • Bridal bouquet alternatives ranked: rings, baby's breath boas, and books (skip) vs. single stems and parasols (yes)
  • Why bridesmaid proposal boxes and bachelorette party influencer culture are costing brides way more than they realize
  • Bachelorette party travel safety: the buddy system, drink safety, and staying alert in bachelorette-heavy cities
  • Honeymoon and venue security — safe alternatives to hotel safes and how to handle wedding cash gifts
  • Micro weddings: why smaller guest counts open up bigger budgets, better food, and more intimate design choices
  • A script for telling guests they're not invited to a micro wedding or elopement, without the awkwardness
  • Afterparty rapid fire: most overrated wedding tradition, the splurge that's worth it, destination wedding gift etiquette, and the biggest wedding money-wasters
