Imagine flying out to Portugal to plan your dream destination wedding to then have to cancel your wedding plans and rearrange everything to then plan a UK wedding with 8 weeks notice. 

This week on the podcast I'm chatting to newlywed Sarah who has done exactly that and has zero regrets about making the decision to move her dream destination wedding to an intimate wedding in the Yorkshire countryside.

We also talk about the changes she made to her wedding plans and why those changes made her wedding day hands down the best day of her life so far. 

I hope you enjoy the journey of this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode I'm chatting to newlywed Tara who's recently got married and was last featured on the podcast only 10 weeks before her wedding day on Season 5 Episode 4!

It was lovely catching up with this bride so soon after she said "I DO" at the Oak Tree at Peover in Cheshire. Unfortunately it did rain on Tara's wedding wedding but they didn't let that stop them having the most amazing day and they even brought the garden games inside. 

This brides one regret from her wedding day is not fully embracing wearing her wedding dress during the photography portrait sessions, but when it's all new and white and expensive you don't want to be getting it dirty if you don't have too. We also chat about the options for you and your wedding dress after your big day too!

On this weeks episode of the podcast I'm chatting with bride to be Leah who said yes twice! 

This weeks episode is full of very honest and real advice when it comes to wedding planning and the pressure every bride faces on the wedding planning journey. Should we book a videographer? Do I need to have a wedding veil? My personal answer is always going to be do what feels right for you, but how do you do that when there's so many outside influences telling you what you should and shouldn't have when it comes to your wedding day?

On this weeks episode I'm chatting to bride to be Katie who is actually a singer / songwriter so potentially has quite a few ideas up her sleeve when it comes to the wedding planning inspiration. Like every girl, she's been planning her dream day on Pinterest for a good number of years and found her dream vineyard wedding venue months before her engagement.

Katie's proposal story is very cute. Moments before her now fiance said that he can imagine proposing in a couple of years time, which very much explains her shocked face and very excited face when he did pop the question!

I've often wondered how brides begin the wedding planning process? How do you really know what kind of wedding you want to plan? Where do your ideas come from and how to you really collect and store all the information you're saving? 

In this weeks episode I'm chatting to Sian about exactly that. As an avid festival goer she initially wanted to plan a festival themed wedding with tipis and loads of DIYs but after visiting Cripps Barn in the Cotswolds soon decided that wedding planning was taking a u-turn as they really fell in love with this beautiful venue. 

We talk about the pros and cons of planning both wedding styles, including the cost comparisons of each. Why Sian settled on a a Spring Barn Wedding and how she began planning her dream wedding day.  Including finding dresses for her TEN bridesmaids.
