Unveiled

A little/LOUD HEADS-UP courtesy of the couples who have already said ‘I do’.

Your wedding day is going to be beautiful no matter what. But, wouldn’t it be nice to have your t’s-crossed and i’s-dotted by someone who’s day had already happened & could forewarn you on a few important things…consider it done!

We put the feelers out to our wedding community & summoned past bride and grooms forth to share their very own ‘wedding day regrets’. Join us as we chat through a bunch that we felt all future couples need to hear and our tips on how to avoid landing in the same predicament.

If you haven’t googled ‘Allview Escape, Blackheath’, we’d suggest doing so before listening to this episode. Not only will you see one of the most gorgeous natural amphitheaters, but you’ll also understand why this Blue Mountains venue instantly ticked all of the boxes for Ben & Julia.

On episode 17 of Unveiled, Jules talks us through why she and Ben chose to roll the dice on getting married in January despite being warned their venue holds the potential of 4 seasons in one day. How they ditched anything that wasn't authentically them & introduced a bunch of creative elements to spice things up, and finally how she kept a level head when a burst pipe resulted in MAJOR flooding the night before the wedding.

We recommend a pen and paper for this one.

We’re headed down south for this week's episode, with bride Alice who married her beau of 10 years James on the lush grounds of Terrara House. Alice shares with us why a recent change of hands at Terrara House didn't upset their decision to go ahead with the venue. Why they opted to bring in their own choice of catering plus some killer and much needed tips on navigating the heated discussions over the one thing that seems to have most couples up in arms...the guest list.

On Episode 14 of Unveiled we sat down with beautiful bride Yasmin who married her now husband of two years, Alec. Yas & Alec held a beautiful, Country-style wedding in October of 2019 on Alec’s family homestead Belltrees; just 30 minutes out of Scone.

Yas shares with us what made saying yes to her stunning Moira Hughes gown an easy one, why she put her nerves aside & chose to say a speech in front of their 170 guest and finally, despite how beautiful their wedding day was, ONE regret she has that she’d like to make sure you guys don’t.⁠

On today’s episode of Unveiled Lucy sat down with Bridal designer Mannie of Bowie Rae.

Mannie not only delves into her own practices but also sheds light on fittings, turn-around & production times on gowns, why you should keep an eye out for TRUNK SHOWS, a rough guide on budgets & price tags and finally why finding your gown SHOULD be an enjoyable one (that includes champas & your bridesmaids!).

Leading from the front; Bowie Rae is an all Australian, fashion-infused bridal label made up of a collection of separates that all work together to create your very own look.

Along with a slow fashion & sustainable focus, Bowie Rae celebrates what ‘becoming a bride’ truly means; getting married and looking for that killer outfit; an outfit that you will remember for the rest of your life. Bowie Rae is Bridal, Your Way.

While hiring a photographer on your wedding day is a given, there’s always a bit of great debate around whether or not it’s worth investing in a videographer too.

On today’s episode of Unveiled we thought who better to fill in the gaps on ‘ALL-THINGS-VIDEO’ than our very own Eddie Blake, lead videographer & founder of Ripple Weddings.

With 8 years of industry knowledge, Eddie shed’s light on an abundance of video related questions including; exactly how much $$$ will a videographer cost & what do the final deliverables look like? Will your video include drone footage? How do you know if you’re booking the right videographer for you & a bunch more!

Our answers to your most frequently asked questions including:

• The ideal wedding speech length

• Does everyone from the wedding have to be invited to the recovery?

• Deciphering different dress codes

• Kids or no kids?

• Key times to take a moment alone with your partner

Today is Unveiled's first two part episode, with beautiful bride Dara; who many of you may know as DJ & Producer; DJ Tigerlily. ⁠⁠Dara & fiancé Scott are in the midst of planning their Sydney wedding for next year and have kindly sat down with us to discuss how the planning is progressing. ⁠⁠In part 1, Dara shares why finding their caterer has so far been the most testing part to their planning, why she will not be DJ-ing her own wedding & the importance of choosing the path of least resistance.
