In today’s episode, I'm chatting with the lovely Greta about her gorgeous Hawke’s Bay wedding, and it’s such a good story!
Greta shares how she and her husband Sam met at ballroom dancing when they were teenagers, their surprise proposal after twelve years together, and the journey of planning a beautiful alfresco-style wedding, with a few wild weather curveballs thrown in!
A few things we cover:
💜 Planning a wedding at a private winery in Hawke’s Bay after dreaming of a wedding in Italy.
💜 DIY projects, why Greta wished she’d hired a wedding planner, and what she learned.
💜 Coping with rain on the wedding day and how her amazing day-of coordinator saved the day.
💜 Managing a big guest list with blended families and friends from overseas.
💜 The emotional side of it all, including dealing with post-wedding blues and finding time for just the two of them.
💜 Budget chat - what they spent and how it added up faster than expected!
💜 Her best advice for couples planning right now, including why it's so important to stay true to yourselves, trust your gut, and not sweat the small stuff.
...and so much more!
