In this episode, I chat with Jessica a recent bride who shares her wedding planning journey, including her engagement timeline, venue selection, and the importance of various vendors.
The conversation highlights the significance of having fun during the planning process, the challenges of managing a guest list, and the creative freedom given to vendors, particularly her florist. Jessica also discusses her experiences with dress shopping and food and beverage considerations for the wedding day.
She reflected on her experiences leading up to the wedding, including the bachelorette party and final preparations, while offering valuable advice for engaged couples.
