In today’s episode, I'm sharing my chat with beautiful Clara, recent bride and wedding dress designer, we love to hear both perspectives!
A few things we cover:
💜 Clara met her husband Tom on Tinder and they instantly clicked. He proposed with a sweet, well-planned surprise involving a seaplane, a beach, and a heartfelt speech.
💜 They chose the Tree Church for its beauty and flexibility, especially being able to bring their own alcohol. Despite the early finish time, they loved the relaxed vibe.
💜 Clara made her own wedding dress, drawing inspiration from the venue. She even designed it on a flight home and collaborated with a friend to create a second reception dress.
💜 Her top planning priorities were the venue and photography. She was a "PowerPoint bride" with spreadsheets, Pinterest boards, and cost comparisons for each location.
💜 She took the week off before the wedding to stay calm and present, started the wedding day with a peaceful solo walk, and loved the speeches and time with Tom the most.
💜 Clara runs Clara Bridal, designing bespoke wedding dresses as well as a core collection. She works with local and remote clients and offers a seamless custom process.
💜 Her biggest advice for brides is to trust your instincts, avoid getting overwhelmed by too much inspiration, and remember the day is about you and your person.
...and so much more!
