	162: 9 Point Checklist for Wedding Vendor Reviews - Who Is Faking It Online?	17 Nov 2025	00:12:27
Just the other day, I was chatting with three seasoned wedding vendors about how, lately, they’ve been hearing from engaged couples asking tons of questions about details that, honestly, aren’t likely to be problems at all. They were frustrated by how they’ve been micromanaged or not fully trusted. So I asked them: “How can an engaged couple really tell who’s a legit, experienced vendor who won’t let them down?” They all agreed that it’s tough for couples to know, especially when so much of that trust comes from online reviews and testimonials that can feel overwhelming or sometimes leave you wondering what to really believe. That’s exactly what we’re diving into today: how to cut through the noise to understand what’s genuine in online reviews, and where to focus your attention while you research potential wedding vendors so you can book them with confidence. And stay tuned till the end, I’ll be sharing my 9 Point Checklist for Wedding Vendor Reviews and help you to work out who might be faking it online.

	61: Micro-weddings With Massive Impact: Why Size Really Does Matter with WedShed	23 Oct 2023	00:33:11
While large weddings are often a blast because of the vibe that lots of people gathered together can bring and the go-go-go, smaller weddings have advantages that you might not appreciate at first glance. Some of the most intimate, and moving experiences I've had at weddings are those with just a handful of highly invested family and friends. Sometimes it’s the smaller micro weddings and the time and space they allow for everyone who attends, that feel a little more intentional, with guests that are present and deeply involved. This week my guest, the incredible, Amy Parfett, co-founder of WedShed, Gravy and now author, is going to break micro weddings down for you. You'll learn: • how post-covid times and the cost of living crisis are affecting wedding plans, trends and timing of getting married. • the big advantages of little micro weddings, and • Amy's easy 3 step, how-to-get-started guide for planning a micro wedding of your very own.

	59: Your Wedding Processional - How To Make It Your Own and LOVE It	09 Oct 2023	00:23:22
Most civil ceremonies in Australia start with what’s known as the processional; when certain people enter the ceremony space, typically down an aisle that is formed between the assembled guests, in a specific order to mark the beginning of a wedding ceremony. Really, there are no limits and a question that I’m hearing more and more in my role as a marriage celebrant over the last few years in particular is: “do we have to have a processional, at all?” And the short answer is… no But this is also when many engaged couples get stuck, what IS the alternative? How can we make it our own? And what does that even look like? Today, I’ll teach you: WHAT a typical processional might look like in a non-religious wedding ceremony here in Australia. WHY you might want to change it up or skip it altogether, and what you could in that instance WHO you can include, and who you really should avoid including (I’m looking at you children under 5 and animals) And HOW you can do it in a way that you actually look forward to and feel comfortable with, including some ideas and tips for those nervous or awkward types.

	58: Yes, The Post-Wedding Blues are Real; Here's How to Skip Them	02 Oct 2023	00:15:15
Imagine your wedding planning is like the unfolding and riveting story of an adventure novel and your wedding is the last chapter where everything comes together. It’s when the drama gets resolved, the narrative comes full circle and the heroes (that’s you and your fiancé) have their time to shine. But what if the final chapter of your story was not as satisfying as you’d hoped? Maybe the closing remarks weren’t hopeful or filled with meaning, maybe one of your favourite people didn’t get their justice, or maybe the ending was so spectacular that you’re quite simply devastated that there’s no more to come. And just like when you’ve closed the book on an incredible read, finished binging your new fave series or just heard the final siren of the season, the time after your wedding celebrations can be a big letdown. It's commonly known as the post-wedding blues. And while it’s not the end of the world, it’s a bummer and with a couple of tweaks to what is most probably already in your plans, you can nix most of the unpleasantness and get on with your married life with renewed vigour and purpose! So today I’m going to share: The different ways that the post-wedding blues can show up in your life, 9 different reasons why you might be feeling this way, and How to skip most of the bullshit too!

	55: 7 Huge Wedding Dress Questions Answered By A Bridal Stylist with the Pronovias Group	11 Sep 2023	00:53:21
9 years ago I was so embarrassed about my budget, style, appearance and size, that I didn’t even set foot into a bridal store at all. And if my recent DMs with listeners, and my couples are anything to go by, nothing has really changed either. The search for your wedding attire still really comes down to confidence and your knowledge of how, where and when, rather than what the market or online options can offer you at any given time. And this is why I’m incredibly excited for you to listen to my interview with Bianca Velt-Herron who is currently the Aus/NZ Sales Manager for 3 labels from the Spanish bridal house the Pronovias Group. Bianca is going to teach you: How, when and where to start your wedding dress search, What options there are for inclusive sizing, Why buying online probably won’t save you money, Why some stores charge fees for appointments, How many people you can bring along with you, and Why you might not be allowed to take photos in-store. Stay listening until the end to find out what Bianca’s key highlights are in wedding fashion for the 2024 season.

	54: How To Love The Body You Get Married In with Sami Rose	04 Sep 2023	00:35:52
Have you ever been invited to a special event, like a big birthday party, and immediately calculated the number of days, weeks or months until that event because you’re trying to work out how much weight you might be able to lose, or put on, before then? Increasingly newly engaged people are being targeted for Wed shred programs and bridal boot camps and it’s not unusual to be asked by well-meaning, but less-than-tactful family and friends what your weight loss plan is, or how much you want to lose before your big day. Sami Rose is an advocate for body neutrality and helps people make peace with food and their bodies and be kinder to themselves. Sami is going to teach you: why your impending wedding date is not the best deadline or motivation for sustainable lifestyle change or your happiness, why being at your thinnest or smallest doesn’t necessarily mean looking or feeling your best, and some handy questions to help you reframe the way you think about your body image. I also share a message from one of my brides about how she feels her family have been detrimental to her body image from a very young age and what Sami recommends she do when it comes to shopping for her wedding dress. And stay listening to the end for Sami’s best tips for keeping your confidence high, prioritising your health goals and how to love how you feel in the body you get engaged, and married, in.

	52: What If Your Guests Think Your Wedding Is Boring?	21 Aug 2023	00:19:04
Have you had this nightmare yet? That none of your guests: aren't going to enjoy themselves, that you aren’t going to be great hosts, or that your wedding is going to be boring? It’s a sentiment that I can really relate to, but I’ve got to say, looking back now, those worries were perhaps some of the biggest wastes of my time in my entire planning experience. Spoiler alert, they’re dumb, unnecessary and possibly (depending on how far you take it) a waste of your hard-earned money too. So I’d like to share a little research that I did about the long-term memories of our wedding guests, what mattered to them and what has lingered the standout of our wedding celebration 9 years ago. I also share what your guests really need to not be bored, and hence for you to not have a boring wedding, plus a reality check for those adults who claim to be bored.

	50: Unbridely Modern Wedding Gift Etiquette; is asking for cash tacky?	07 Aug 2023	00:16:19
There are so many potential pitfalls for engaged couples and their guests around wedding gifts. Did you know that kitchen knives, mirrors umbrellas, and anything secondhand or re-gifted could not only be considered a little strange, but also bad luck for the couple getting married? Then there are the conflicting values between different cultures. In the United States asking for money as a wedding gift can still be interpreted as a bit tacky. Whereas in most European and Asian cultures, the gift of money is essential, and in fact, it's considered disrespectful to not give the appropriate amount, depending on your social standing and your closeness to the couple getting married. In this episode, I share: what wedding gift etiquette looked like in the past, plus 4 easy steps to making sure you get what you want, how you want it, communicate your wishes to your family and friends and also thank them in a reasonable timeframe for their contributions.

	49: How To Share Your Story Through Your Wedding Flowers with Tweed Twigs	31 Jul 2023	00:28:43
Wedding bouquets and floral design at weddings in general have evolved a lot over the years. Today, flowers are not only used as decorative elements in weddings but can also evoke memories, tell a story, pay tribute to those who’ve passed away and even signal to your guests where they can find you (cough at the bar). In fact, Graham of Tweed Twigs encourages his couples to recount the specifics of important moments that he can weave into the design of his florals to create a sense of connection and unique intentionality too. Today Graham is going to teach you: why flowers have never been more expensive, and how to be creative with your flower budget so you can make more of an impact with what you’ve got, how event florists differ from a retail flower shop, plus how your personal stories and memories can be a springboard for your wedding decor plans.

	41: 4 Opportunities To Add Spirituality To Your Ceremony (even if you're not religious) with Minister Toya	05 Jun 2023	00:29:45
Do you think of yourself as spiritual? Have you ever had a spiritual experience? Or are you more like my family and have an unnatural distrust of, and take personal offence to, alternative health practices, let alone spirituality? It's funny, but it's just not something that my family has ever really explored or taken an interest in, and yet, I like to think of myself as a spiritual person. In the context of your wedding and in particular your ceremony, how can you express your beliefs in a way that aligns with how you are most at ease? And if you've come from a similar background to me, doesn't feel too woo-woo for you and doesn't necessarily refer to a particular religion as such. Today I'm jamming with New Orleans Wedding officiant Minister Toya whose diverse couples have been featured in Vogue and Martha Stewart Weddings and many, many others. As a wedding officiant, marriage, and spiritual coach, LaToya serves couples that want personalized attention, authentic joy, a whole lot of magic and genuine connection throughout their journey. You'll learn about: the 4 opportunities you have to infuse your ceremony with spirituality, even if you're not religious, why LaToya only takes one ceremony a day now (as opposed to the four, which she's done in the past), and her pre-wedding rituals (which are a lot more practical than you might think).

	37: Tegan and Rohan - Hard Family Conversations and Spending Your Money on What Matters	08 May 2023	00:55:13
I’m almost 100% certain that all engaged couples have this same problem. And even though you think it’s unique, that your family is a bit embarrassing, or out of the ordinary, I can assure you that every family has their quirks. You can’t choose your family and often, your relationship with them is not simple either. It can get real messy real quick, especially when you’re talking about who you’re going to invite and the roles you want to give them for your wedding. For Rohan and Tegan, who got married late last year, they certainly had their share of emotion-charged conversations with their loved ones. But I remember thinking at the time, that I had never heard of a couple who had handled it better and knew that I had to get them to share their approach with you. Today you’ll learn: where Tegan and Rohan drew the line about what they were going to spend their budget on when the wedding tax bit hard, how Tegan decided to include her father and step-father in their ceremony and reception, and the tough conversations they needed to have when they opted to cut down their wedding guest numbers. If you’re struggling to assert yourself so you can have the wedding day you really want, Rohan and Tegan also have some great advice at the end about how delegating small tasks to your family and friends actually increases their connection to your wedding day and you.

	34: How to Give an Amazing Wedding Speech (even if you're really nervous) with Authentically Funny Speeches	17 Apr 2023	00:39:41
The fear of public speaking, or Glossophobia, is believed to affect up to 75% of the population. So when your sister, best friend or daughter tells you that they want you to do a speech at their wedding and you’d rather stay at home and pull out your toenails with a pair of pliers, you're not alone. But rather than adhering to the “fake it until you make it” principle, Beth Sherman believes that being honest and self-aware is actually a funnier and more smart approach for your speech. Beth is a stand-up comedian, multi-Emmy award-winning comedy writer and the founder of Authentically Funny Speeches, where to date she's ghost-written more than 300 wedding speeches. Today Beth is going to share with you: how to reframe how you think about speeches, what an engaged couple can do to help their speakers, how to stop your voice from shaking, and why you need to get rid of the mic the second after you’ve done the speech.

	33: How to Create a Banger Wedding Ceremony Vibe (with no apologies) with Nat Sproal	10 Apr 2023	00:30:48
You know that one friend that says everything you are thinking, but out loud with virtually no filter? For me, in the celebrant world in Australia, this is Nat Sproal. I feel like we share the same brain, but while, believe it or not, I'm a little more reserved in saying these thoughts in public, Nat, just don't care. And it's genius because it's also part of her charm and marketing as one of the most in-demand celebrants in the country. So when I wanted to share with you the nuts and bolts of what makes for a banger of a ceremony, I knew I had to bring her on the podcast so you can reap the spoils of her worldly wisdom and delight in her no holds barred perspective with me. Today you’ll learn: how to kick off your ceremony, why you might want to consider having your wedding party sit down how Ninja Vows work (and why they're hilarious), plus fascinating factoids about weddings that you will never be able to un unhear (like what the cutting of your wedding cake actually symbolises). And you know how sometimes in life, you might not realize it at the time, but later you can see, how you held back; that you didn't really do what you wanted to? You regret it, and you’re essentially waiting for someone to give you permission? This is the permission episode for your wedding ceremony. So buckle up because it’s rated SS for super sweary, but also supremely satisfying.

Have you ever had to endure a painful wedding speech by an overconfident best man or a terrified bridesmaid and thought, “There must be a better way than: a) listing off story after inappropriate story, b) relying on tired, sexist or clichéd jokes, or c) just winging it?” You’re absolutely spot on.

Sydney shares her expert tips on how even the most nervous speakers can centre themselves, truly connect, and give engaging toasts that captivate every guest with no shock tactics required. And how to use stories to illustrate the character or qualities of the couple so it doesn’t feel like a trial by pointless anecdotes and in-jokes. If you want your wedding party’s speeches to stand out for all the right reasons, or if you have been asked to give a speech for a friend or family member, you won’t want to miss this conversation. And stay listening to the end to find out how to get a copy of Sydney’s practical guide to banishing the nerves before your very own big speech moment.

	32: How to Save $3k on Your Wedding by Being on Top of Your RSVPs	03 Apr 2023	00:22:12
According to brides.com, the average wedding guest list has around 15-20% of guests who RSVP they’re not attending. So if you've got a 100-person guest list, for example, this would mean 15 to 20 people are not planning on showing up. So you don't need to add them to your numbers for food, drinks, or table decorations. And when you really think about table decorations, you can imagine that each table for your reception may have linen. So tablecloth, napkin plates, glassware, cutlery, centrepieces, table numbers, candles, floral display. If we are talking about a full wedding, this cost could easily be around $150 per person. Or $3,000 that you could save on your wedding IF you can get those RSVPs back in time. That's a BIG if and therein lies the rub, my friend. It's quite distressing, but also super common for wedding guests not to RSVP for many different reasons, but today you'll learn: the 4 main reasons that your family and friends won't RSVP to your wedding on time, plus the 6 ways that you can be proactive about it and change the result, which could potentially save you around $3k on your wedding!

Over the last 3 years with the pandemic and the fallout of travel bans, lockdowns and social restrictions, there has been a wholesale shift and change in many engaged couples’ wedding plans, expectations and budgets.

Recently married Felicia is a self-confessed “financially meticulous person” and did a whole heap of research before she decided to click the “Contact seller” button. Fortunately for you, Felicia is really generous and happy to share how she did it and today you’ll learn all about her experience, the pros and cons of buying pre-loved, including local bridal boutique The Bride Lab’s perspective and advice, and the 5 smart things to do when you buy a pre-loved wedding dress.

	24: Weddings are a team sport Manage My Wedding podcast guest interview	06 Feb 2023	00:52:16
This week I’m sharing the guest interview I did with Yvette Sitters on the Manage My Wedding podcast a little while ago. Yevette is a wedding planner with 22 years of experience, the creator of the Manage My Wedding app, the Manage My Wedding online store and obviously podcast host. She’s a bit of an overachiever, a type-A planner and a family woman. Yvette asked me what I mean when I say “weddings are a team sport”, how to choose and book your wedding vendors and also my biggest wedding planning tip for engaged couples. I love the sound of this interview like it’s just a chat between two old friends and yet, it was the very first time we’d ever spoken. Yvette truly practices what she preaches about supporting other women in business and I can’t wait to interview her this year.

	148: 9 Point Beach Wedding Ceremony Checklist, For Your Perfectly Imperfect Day	11 Aug 2025	00:24:09
Have you ever pictured yourself gliding barefoot down a sandy aisle, ocean glistening in the distance, a soft sea breeze gently tousling your hair, feeling content and chilled while surrounded by your favourite people? It sounds perfect… right up until someone forgets the sunscreen, your nan gets heat stroke, and that gentle breeze turns into a storm-force gale that rips your floral display clean off your ceremony arch. There’s nothing wrong with having a beach wedding. But what you need to come to terms with is that you have control over next to nothing in that setting. Because here’s the real secret: the most amazing beach weddings aren’t the ones where nothing went wrong—they’re the ones where the couple had prepared as much as they possibly could, and then accepted that a few surprises were coming, and chose to laugh, breathe, and roll with it. So today, I’m going to chat through the not-so-glamorous (but absolutely manageable) realities of beach ceremonies and 9 of my best tips for sidestepping high tide, dehydration, and sandfly-bitten limbs.

I bet you’ve had this vision in your head for years now; You’re livin' it up with your bridesmaids, on endless summer days laughing in the sunshine, sipping cocktails and planning your most magical wedding day. The reality, unfortunately, is rarely as shiny and perfect as that.

I don’t want that for you. And it all starts with the people you choose to surround yourself with, the ones you keep closest to you. In this episode, I’m going to teach you the 6 deadset essential questions you need to be asking yourself BEFORE you pick your bridesmaids, groomsmen, or wedding party, including a little history on the early roles of bridesmaids which I think might surprise you and perhaps have you rethinking your expectations too.
