Episode 3: Planning with Clarity — with Nicola from The Wedding Planning Lounge

Nicola is an absolute gem when it comes to wedding planning. She’s all about helping couples create a day that feels truly personal and stress-free. In this episode, we chat about how to cut through the noise and stay focused on what really matters.

We cover:

• Making decisions based on what you love, not just following trends
• Using your own skills (and involving friends and family) to save money and add a personal touch
• What’s coming for 2025, from bold bridal fashion to more couples going tech-free for the ceremony
• How to use social media for inspiration without falling into the comparison trap

Nicola also shares her SWEPT method, a brilliant framework for planning with a clear head and sense of purpose:

• Style and Stationery: keep your look consistent from start to finish
• Why: remember the heart of why you’re getting married
• Elements: choose three priorities and focus your time and budget there
• Palette: pick a couple of key colours and one material to tie everything together
• Theme: whether Mad-Hatters Party or Peaky Blinders, make sure it blends with your palette

If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by Pinterest boards and budget spreadsheets, this episode will help you find clarity and confidence. And when it comes to choosing suppliers, from planners to a Devon Wedding Singer, the right people can make all the difference.
