Today I'm joined by Holly, who shares the story behind her effortlessly stylish wedding to Luke at the beautiful Ātaahua Estate in the Bay of Plenty. From planning a wedding while living overseas to creating an intimate guest experience and trusting her incredible team of vendors, Holly shares so much honest advice that I know you will love.

 

We chat about:

💜 Planning a New Zealand wedding while living overseas

💜 Why she almost didn't want flowers, a wedding cake... or many wedding traditions at all

💜 Creating an unforgettable guest experience with a cocktail-style dinner

💜 Designing a custom wedding dress with Lulu Jackson

💜 The reality of budgeting for a modern New Zealand wedding

💜 Decision fatigue, post-wedding blues & what no one talks about after the wedding

💜 Why trusting your creative vendors led to the best result

💜 The giant tiramisu "wedding cake" that everyone couldn't stop talking about

 

…and so much more!
