Ep 3 Nicola Warner - The Wedding Planning Lounge
Episode 3: Planning with Clarity with Nicola from The Wedding Planning Lounge
Nicola is an absolute gem when it comes to wedding planning. She’s all about helping couples create a day that feels truly personal and stress-free. In this episode, we chat about how to cut through the noise and stay focused on what really matters.
We cover things like:
- Making decisions based on what you love, not just following trends
- Using your own skills (and getting friends and family involved too) to save money and add a personal touch
- What’s coming for 2025, including bold bridal fashion and more couples going tech-free for the ceremony
- How to use social media for inspiration without falling into the comparison trap
Nicola also shares her SWEPT method which is a really helpful way to plan with a clear head and sense of purpose.
It stands for:
- Style and Stationery: keeping your look consistent from start to finish
- Why: you’re getting married, remembering what it’s really all about
- Elements: picking three things that matter most and putting your focus (and budget) there
- Palette: choosing a couple of key colours and one material to tie it all together
- Theme: Mad-Hatters Party? Peaky Blinders? Whatever your wedding theme, make it blend with your your Palette
If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by Pinterest boards and budget spreadsheets, this one’s well worth a listen.
