The We Do Wedding Podcast episodes
- Best Friends Flowers w/Isabelle & Unison
Best Friends Flowers is, in their words, a "queer-run secret garden, growing flowers and curating sustainable floral design" located in New Haven, Connecticut. Owners Isabella and Unison join Cate and Regina to discuss the duo's passion for wildflowers, working with clients who align with your values, and how flowers and other natural elements bring events together and help create little 'worlds.'
Isabelle and Unison were an absolute delight to speak with. They are both passionate about nature, all things local, and sustainability, and it was so helpful to hear their take on what is often a monolithic-feeling floral industry. Their intelligence and humor made this interview chock-full of education, laughter, and plenty of the messy, real stuff: some true behind-the-scenes moments of entrepreneurship, being a queer person in a straight-dominated industry, and bucking the system to be true to yourself.
We'll leave you with words taken straight from Isabelle and Unison's website: The integrity of our flower operation matters deeply to us. We practice no-till farming and use exclusively natural and/or organic amendments on our soil and plants. We never throw excess flowers in the garbage - they either get composted or given away. We prioritize paying reparations with a portion of our monthly flower profits and will be donating flowers on a weekly basis in 2021.
We love working together on these flowers from start to finish, and we can’t wait to share some of the beauty with you.

Silver City Ballroom is a bank-turned-wedding and event venue in Meriden, Connecticut. Owner Angel joins Regina and Cate to discuss taking risks in business (and how COVID has affected wedding venues), the ins and outs of wedding styling, and what it takes to create your dream wedding.
It was exciting talking to Angel of Silver City Ballroom because he is both a highly-trained creative mind AND a true professional in a highly competitive industry. His standards are crazy high, his work ethic is fierce, and his passion for design, lighting, and creating an atmosphere is contagious. We loved talking to Angel about the winding path his career took to opening a high-end wedding and event venue, how he's had to get (even more) creative in the face of a global pandemic, and what happens when he works with clients who give him full reign to bring their vision to light.
From the Silver City Ballroom website: when you want to host a beautiful and sophisticated event, keep Silver City Ballroom in mind. We host weddings, parties, and corporate events in Meriden, CT. We are completely committed to our clients; we will work one on one with you to create a completely personalized event.

Lydia Arroyo is a makeup artist based in Connecticut. Lydia joins Regina and Cate to discuss what people should focus on when hiring a makeup artist, why there aren't many makeup 'trends' when it comes to brides, and how hard it can be for dark-skinned women to find people who know how to do their makeup correctly.
Lydia has years of experience doing makeup in the fashion world as well as for weddings and events, and she has a huge social media following on Instagram, where she shares fun, colorful makeup tutorials using her own face as her canvas. When it comes to weddings, however, Lydia is all business--and she recognizes that, while "Instagram makeup" may be fun, trendy, and popular, most brides hire her to make them look like polished versions of themselves.
We enjoyed Lydia's perspective of the wedding day and loved learning how she connects with clients and books them repeatedly, even after their wedding. We also appreciated her tips for people looking for a makeup artist!

Pink Olive Events is a wedding and event planning company based out of Cheshire, Connecticut. Owner Carisa Lockery joins Regina and Cate to discuss mini-monies, working with a team, and what the difference is between VENUE coordinators and WEDDING coordinators.
Carisa has been in the wedding industry for the past thirteen years and has tons of experience and expertise to share. Her business offers full planning, partial planning, and day-of coordination services.
We loved talking shop with Carisa (having two coordinators in the same conversation was SO much fun), and we got into the nitty gritty of what a difference a wedding coordinator can make for a busy couple and, particularly, the impact they can have on how much a couples enjoys their big day! She told us about her favorite part of the job, what she's learned from all her years in the business, and why expertise just plain costs more. We loved learning more about her business!

Camp Laurelwood, in addition to its long history as a Jewish day camp, is also a wedding and event venue located in Madison, CT. (It also happens to be Cate's dream wedding location!) Regina and Cate spoke with Camp Laurelwood's Retreat Center Director Craig Barrows about wedding receptions that last all night, clients who have blown him away with their creativity, and what makes getting married at camp so special.
Camp Laurelwood is a place of fun and excitement where every camper and client is made to feel important. As an organization, it is guided by their core values; peoplehood, welcoming, kindness, health, and community. It offers a unique wedding experience for people who love the outdoors, want their families and friends to gather for longer than just the length of the ceremony and reception, and want a truly memorable wedding experience.
Camp Laurelwood is a diverse and inclusive community. Campers, clients, and staff of different races, cultures, practices, abilities, sexual orientations, family structures, and gender identities come to Camp Laurelwood year after year because they know they’re more than accepted. They’re celebrated!

These are the kind of people you want on your wedding team--and, frankly, they're the kind of people you'll just want to be friends with. Warm, inviting, generous, professional, and insanely talented, we are so excited to launch our podcast with Paulo and Irsa's interview!
