Welcome to The Wedding Series, a six-episode series from The Bridal Journey proudly presented by Michael Hill. Each week Andie Towner, founder of The Bridal Journey, and celebrant and content creator Sarah Davoli sit down with the people who actually know how weddings work, the stylist, the bride whose wedding became a business, the money expert, the planner and the marketer, and ask them what they would tell you if nobody was listening.

Today, we are speaking with Victoria Devine, founder of She's on the Money, about what weddings actually cost and who pays for them. We polled The Bridal Journey audience before recording, and one in five has gone into debt for someone else's wedding, so Victoria takes us through what the numbers mean, how to set a budget you will actually keep, how to split it across vendors, how to have the money conversation with parents without it becoming a conversation about control, what to cut first and the line item she would never cut.

Today, we are speaking to Georgia Hayes, who married Max at Redleaf in Wollombi over Valentine's weekend last year. Four days, 110 guests, a planner, a content creator in the room, six looks across the weekend including three KYHA on the day itself, one of which went into the collection, and a handwritten letter at every place. The wedding went everywhere, her following became a business, and she is here to tell us which parts were on purpose. We talk about planning a wedding that will be photographed, working with a content creator, the six looks and how she chose them, what she would do again for herself and what she would do again for the internet.

Today, we are speaking with Victoria Burns, a stylist and IMG model who has worked with Marc Jacobs and Tory Burch, and who is now planning her own wedding and finding the dress just as hard as the rest of us. We talk about how a stylist approaches a wedding wardrobe, the bridal designers she keeps coming back to, what she's tried on and ruled out, the trends she thinks brides will regret, and what a bride should actually look for when she cannot see herself clearly. Andie and Sarah also get into engagement rings, where to source them and why the band deserves as much thought as the ring.

A wedding dress is one of the most personal decisions a bride will make, and the brand she chooses says a lot about how she wants to feel on the day. In this episode, we sit down with Megan Ziems, the founder of Grace Loves Lace, and Cara Drake, the brand's Deputy Head Designer, to talk about how one of the most recognised bridal labels in the world has spent the last sixteen years quietly redefining what modern bridal looks like.

Megan started Grace Loves Lace from her house in 2010. Today, the brand sits across twenty-three boutiques worldwide, with one of the most distinctive design signatures in global bridal. In this conversation, we walk through the founding story, the philosophy that has anchored the brand from day one (recognition, not transformation), and the unusually rigorous design and production process behind every gown, from up to ninety days of hand-embroidered lace through to sample testing on body across the full size range.

We also cover the experience of the modern bride, the overwhelm of looking through over 800 dresses before making a decision, why fit matters at every size, what sustainability actually looks like within a bridal brand, and the design thinking behind Grace Loves Lace's most recognised gowns.

From whitening to veneers to clear aligners, we break down what’s truly possible in the lead up to your wedding, whether you have twelve months or just a few weeks. Dr May and Dr Reuben share practical timelines and the personalised approach Dental Boutique is known for, helping brides and grooms build a smile plan that is entirely unique. 

We also cover fresh breath hacks, at-home habits, treatment misconceptions, how to choose between veneers and aligners.
