045: Wedding Dismorphia
In this eye-opening episode of Lifting the Veil, Christina and Kathy dive deep into the concept of wedding dysmorphia—that overwhelming feeling couples experience when Pinterest boards and social media dreams collide with real-world wedding budgets and timelines.
Our wedding pros offer advice on approaching planning with clarity, communication, and priorities. They break down what a realistic wedding budget in Dallas looks like (spoiler: a stunning day with nothing over the top averages around $55,000) and offer encouragement for couples to focus on textures, color palettes, and personal design touches that reflect them, not a late-night Pinterest scroll.
Plus, they share tips on how to avoid falling into the trap of comparison, how to build a wedding “brand,” and why asking your vendors about challenges they’ve overcome might be the most valuable interview question of all.
Whether you’re deep in planning or just getting started, this is an episode every engaged couple needs to hear.
