Will tariffs raise wedding costs? Today’s episode is unlike any we’ve done before. We’ve got a bit of an emergency brewing in the wedding industry, and I felt compelled to hop on the mic and break it all down with someone who really knows what’s going on behind the scenes: my husband, Jason.

I somehow convinced him to join me (first time ever!) and share his deep expertise in shipping, logistics, and global trade. Because here’s the deal — new tariffs are being applied across nearly all imported goods, and it’s not just “big business” that’s feeling the pressure. This is hitting florists, planners, rental companies, caterers — all of us. Hard. It’s time we talk about it.
