Welcome back to The Aisle Diaries Podcast, this week, we're doing something a little different: a proper wedding planning Q&A!We've gone through your questions and picked out some of the things couples are actually worrying about in the run-up to their wedding, from timelines and RSVPs to seating plans, speeches, budgets, suppliers and everything in between.Wondering how far in advance your wedding timeline should be planned? What do you do when guests haven't RSVP'd? How late is too late to change your table plan? How many speeches is too many? And what happens when you're suddenly a few months out and realise you're over budget?We've got you covered.We also chat about difficult family dynamics, writing your vows without making them feel too cheesy, how much time you actually need for hair and makeup on the morning of your wedding, how long you should disappear with your photographer for couple photos, and perhaps most importantly, how to actually spend time with your partner on your wedding day.Plus, we get into those final-month wedding panics: forgotten payments, last-minute purchases, packing, emergency kits, supplier questions and knowing when you've simply done ENOUGH.So if you're planning your wedding and have a million little questions swimming around your head, this one is for you.Grab a cuppa, get comfortable and let's get into your wedding questions!FIND THE AISLE DIARIESInstagram | Facebook | TikTok | YouTube | Spotify | Apple PodcastsJoella — @seraphinaweddings_Sophie — @sb.bridalmakeupProduced by TAEPodcast - www.taepodcast.co.uk

Welcome back to The Aisle Diaries Podcast. This week, Joella and Sophie are getting controversial…From beige weddings and matching bridesmaid dresses to wedding favours, cash bars, unplugged ceremonies, choreographed first dances and those giant neon signs, Joella and Sophie are putting their honest opinions on some of the biggest wedding trends, habits and guest behaviours to the test.And yes… there are definitely a few disagreements along the way. They chat about whether guests should be allowed to wear jeans, posting on social media before the couple, professional-style guest photography, fake candid photos, wedding content creators, Instagrammable wedding moments, matching Hen-do outfits, asking bridesmaids to pay for everything and whether calling yourself a “bridezilla” is actually fair.Plus, they get into something a little more serious: the pressure wedding suppliers put on themselves, setting boundaries with couples, protecting your personal time and why having a better work-life balance matters, especially during the busiest months of wedding season.And then there’s this week’s Bridal Spiral, which comes from a destination wedding planner who finds herself in a VERY awkward situation after discovering that a couple who told her they were leaving had actually stayed to meet another wedding planner… at the exact same venue.And remember, there’s no right answer, this is just two wedding suppliers giving their very honest opinions!💌 Got your own Bridal Spiral?
