This week I am talking about colour themes and how to weave the magic of colour through your wedding day, how to choose the right colour and how to use Pinterest to help you find a theme and build from there.

If you want to know why colour palettes are important and where they come into your wedding day then this is the episode for you? Your colour palette is your foundation, it is what brings it all together. When you're building a house and if you build it on a really crappy foundation it's gonna fall over, but giving it a rock solid base then it’s going to strong, you can build up and out and shape it how you want.

When it comes to your colour theme, you need to look at colours that will be a strong foundation for your wedding and the decisions that you make throughout, from invitations, flowers, dresses, suits down to napkins and rugs. It’s about the look and feel you’re wanting because that’s the thing...colour makes us feel something.

When you create a vision for your wedding colour starts to weave its way through and as you pin you will start to see a theme and a pattern, that pattern is usually your colour theme. The colours and the style that you are pinning are ultimately making you feel something.

This week we are going deep on a topic I love. What is a DIY venue and is it right for you?

Todays episode is going to share things you may not have thought about yet when it comes to DIY wedding venues and ideas on how to best plan them. 

It can be a lot of planning and doing but for the right couple its a great choice.

Basically a DIY venue can be a paddock, farm, barn, family property it's a space where  you hire and (or own) then build your wedding from the ground up or arrange more than you would a 'normal' venue. 

Yes it involves all 'the things' to be listed and hires but with a clear list, a good vision and can can do attitude it totally do able. 

This week I have created a worksheet for you. What do I need for a DIY Wedding Venue download it now and start to work through it. Even in you're thinking DIY but not sure this will get the wheels turning. 

Also grab my question sheet for taking to a potential DIY venue so you can ask the right questions while you are there. 

Ok, let's jump in!

Long tables? Round tables? Who's going to sit on what tables? I have the answers for you in this episode. Today I am talking all things tables. 

I know how hard table seating plans can be; from deciding what type of layout would suit your wedding to figuring who the heck is going to sit next to Auntie Flo and your bests mates weird and wonderful partner. 

Staring at a spread sheet can be a really hard way to imagine your wedding day layout. It makes it hard to move people, visualise how it will all look and feel...and let face it...it's kinda boring. 

That's why I know this episode is going to make it way more fun, easier and quicker to seat your guests perfectly!

Show Notes Episode 2

In this episode I talk you through what I believe is the  FIRST place you should start wedding planning. If you're half way through or weeks away, don't worry this is till relevant and super useful to keep you on track and on budget! 

It's all about carving out time with your partner to decide on your three non-negotiables for your day. 

Be honest, do you feel like some decisions you make or you have to make feel heavy and come with concern or confusion? If your nodding then this episode is for you. 

This will help you clear the fog on a few questions or arguments that you are having and help to make it clear what you need to do. 

The three non negotiable are this club's code.

These need to be your decision makers (feel free to have more but not too many), so your wedding planning and budget don’t run away with you, you’re going to need a few things that matter, that are set in stone and are not negotiable.

Now remember this is a wedding, so although this is your Bride club, you’re going to have to include your partner. These non-negotiable are what you both see as the important things on your day. It makes sure that when you’re in a heated argument over spending money on rose gold, embroidered, dove shaped, individually named, cookies for the guests you can take a step back and think, is this an important part of our wedding? Does it align with our non-negotiable?

If the answer is no, push it to the side and spend the money and time there later if you have it but for now, spend the time and money on the things that will make your heart sing.

Ok, so what the heck are your non-negotiables? 

Get my free pdf here and carve out time today or tonight to sit down and do these! You'll thank me in the head of an argument or tough decision!

See you next week!
