In this episode, I chat with Georgette about her colourful, completely personal Lake Tarawera wedding and everything that went into creating a day that felt unmistakably like her and Raj.

 

We chat about:

💜 How the boy next door became Georgette’s husband

💜 Why they chose her family’s Lake Tarawera property and built their wedding venue from scratch

💜 The White Lotus meets Royal Hawaiian inspiration behind the styling

💜 Designing 900 metres of custom fabric featuring leopards, pearls, monkeys and her engagement ring

💜 Finding her dream dress with Natalie Rose and the importance of feeling confident while wedding dress shopping

💜 How buying vintage furniture, lamps and glasses saved money and made the wedding more unique

💜 The hilarious process of hiring an Etsy witch and burying a sausage for good weather

💜 The moment of advice before walking down the aisle that helped Georgette truly take in the day

💜 The one thing she wishes she’d done differently, and the wedding details she wishes she hadn’t worried about

💜 Why post-wedding blues hit her harder than she expected, and her advice for couples in the aftermath

 

…and so much more!
