Oof, this is a tricky one to navigate. If you’re wondering what to do if you hate your bridesmaids dress, then this is for you!
First up: it’s usually the bride who chooses what everybody will wear and often this is a representation of the theme of the wedding and the bride’s style. So, keep in mind that the dress usually isn’t meant to highlight you.
Brides always go out of their way to pick something that’s flattering on most body types but sometimes you just hate the dress! It may be that your style and the bride’s are different and the dress just isn’t something you love. Or it might be that the dress doesn’t fit you properly and it’s actually unwearable.
Here’s what makes a wedding feel cheap:
When you try to replicate a big, expensive wedding and make cheap swaps. I’ll walk you through some things I’ve seen couples do, and some things you might be tempted to do… I’ll tell you why it feels cheap and what you can do instead!
The best thing about this wedding trend is that it gets guests involved in the action!!!

The First Dance is a beautiful moment where you dance together in front of your loved ones. But it’s not for everyone!

Finding your Dream Wedding Venue is one of the most important factors in planning your wedding.
The venue will determine your whole wedding vibe, look and feel you are after, for this reason, you must sit down and discuss with each other exactly the type of wedding you want and atmosphere you wish to create.
You also need to decide on guest numbers, and you need a defined budget set in place before you start. Once you’ve thoroughly discussed this then you should be ready to start the exciting first step – Finding Your Dream Venue!
At the end of this episode, I’ll share a brief list of ways that you will know that you’ve found ‘The One’ - so make sure you listen to the end!!!

If you are neurodivergent, it doesn’t mean you can’t have the wedding of your dreams!
When we picture weddings, we often have visions of a big, lavish affair with lots of beautiful decor and a celebration fit for royalty. You might feel like this is the type of wedding you have to have, and maybe it’s what you want. But maybe the idea of the wedding itself is causing too much stress to bear.
Maybe it’s the fear of being the centre of attention, perhaps you have sensory needs or social anxiety about crowds…
Well, the wedding is a moment to commemorate the day you’ve chosen to exchange vows and commit yourself to your partner. So you can get married the way you want to!
