  • How Much Furniture Do You REALLY Need? With Perth Furniture Hire

    This episode is your reminder that the little details matter way more than you think especially when it comes to keeping guests comfy, happy and actually staying past 10pm.

    We’re sitting down with Alysha from Perth Furniture Hire, the founder of Perth Furniture Hire who went from creating furniture for her own wedding to building a full-blown hire empire and she hasn’t had a quiet weekend since!  

    We dive into:

    • How much furniture you really need for a cocktail wedding
    • Why your guest mix changes your seating ratio (yep, Nana needs a seat)
    • The “65% rule” and why 40% setups are begging for disaster
