In this episode, I chat with Audrey about her beautiful autumn wedding at Mudbrick on Waiheke Island, from booking the venue before they were officially engaged to planning a celebration that was very different from what they originally imagined.

 

We chat about:

💜 The sweet story of how Audrey and her husband went from friends to getting engaged

💜 Why they booked their wedding venue before the proposal even happened

💜 How their intimate wedding plans evolved into something much bigger

💜 Why the venue and photographer were always going to be Audrey’s top priorities

💜 The unexpected way she found her Trish Peng wedding dress

💜 The thoughtful details she used to bring her Chinese heritage into the day

💜 Why they chose moss over traditional wedding florals

💜 What Audrey learned about choosing the right wedding vendors

💜 What she would change if she could plan the wedding all over again

💜 Her honest advice for couples currently planning their own wedding

 

…and so much more!
