Wedding flowers are one of those categories couples know they want to be beautiful… but often have absolutely no idea where to start.In this episode of The Wedding Buzz, Sydney sits down with Elena of Noble & Wild Florals to talk about how wedding florals go far beyond bouquets and centerpieces. From ceremony installations and aisle details to reception styling and statement floral moments, Elena shares how florals can help create a cohesive look and tell the story of your wedding day.We’re also talking about how to figure out what you actually want when you “don’t know flowers,” common mistakes couples make, when to book your florist, what a floral designer can help with beyond the obvious, and how to turn all those Pinterest inspiration photos into a design that actually feels like you.If wedding florals feel overwhelming — or you’re just wondering where all that floral budget actually goes — this episode is for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You’ve planned the wedding, booked the vendors, made the decisions… so now you just need someone to show up on the wedding day and make it all happen, right?Well… kind of.In this episode of The Wedding Buzz, Sydney breaks down why true “day-of coordination” doesn’t really exist, what wedding management actually looks like behind the scenes, and why the work that creates a smooth wedding day starts weeks before anyone walks down the aisle.We’re also talking about the difference between a wedding planner and a venue coordinator, what couples should actually look for when comparing coordination packages, and the questions you should ask before hiring someone to manage your wedding day.Because the best wedding days aren’t coordinated on the wedding day — they’re coordinated before it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is A LOT of wedding advice on TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest and Reddit — and some of it is genuinely helpful. Some of it? Not so much. 😅In this episode of The Wedding Buzz, I’m reacting to some of the wedding advice I hear all the time and giving you my take as a professional wedding planner: agree, disagree, or… it depends.We’re talking about whether you should hide the fact that you’re planning a wedding from vendors, if you really need a seating chart, whether a friend can coordinate your wedding, venue coordinators vs. wedding planners, DIY projects, favors, open bars, first looks, Sunday weddings and so much more.I’m also breaking down the wedding advice I do stand behind — like prioritizing what matters most to you, skipping traditions you don’t care about, building an incredible vendor team and planning a wedding based on what you actually want instead of what looks good on Instagram.Because the biggest problem with wedding advice online? People love speaking in absolutes. But a piece of advice that makes perfect sense for one wedding might make absolutely no sense for yours.At the end of the day, your wedding doesn’t need to look like everybody else’s.Your day, your way — and your only job is joy. 💍🥂See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You booked the venue, hired the photographer, chose the flowers, figured out the music, found the dress… so why does it still feel like you’re forgetting something?!In this episode of The Wedding Buzz, I’m breaking down all of those tiny wedding-day details that couples don’t always realize they need to think about until someone asks. Who has the marriage license? Who’s steaming the bridesmaid dresses? Where are your cards and gifts going at the end of the night? Who knows how to bustle your dress? And how are you actually getting back to the hotel when the reception is over?We’re talking wedding-morning logistics, transportation, rain plans, vendor meals, gratuities, personal décor, leftover flowers and cake, timelines, emergency kits, and all the little questions that suddenly seem to appear in the final weeks before your wedding.But this episode is not meant to give you 400 more things to stress about. The point is to have these questions answered before wedding day so you don’t have to think about them when it finally arrives.Because your job on your wedding day isn’t to worry about the card box, transportation, or where the leftover cake is going.Your only job is joy. 💍🥂See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
