This week, I'm joined by bride Georgie, who shares the story of her beautiful wedding at Glendhu Station in Wānaka.

 

We chat about:
💜 Meeting on a dance floor, breaking up, and finding their way back to each other

💜 Planning a colourful wedding that truly reflected them as a couple

💜 Wedding dress shopping in Sydney and overcoming dress regret

💜 The emotional experience of planning a wedding after losing her dad

💜 Choosing vendors who made the day completely stress-free

💜 Announcing their surprise pregnancy during the wedding reception

💜 Honest conversations around what they spent on their wedding

💜 Why hiring a wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions they made

💜 Avoiding comparison on social media and trusting your own vision

💜 Georgie's biggest pieces of advice for engaged couples

 

…and so much more!
