Our wedding recipe for the cosmic kitchen
Heidi met the wonderful Betti and Afnan when they were modelling on a styled weding shoot she was part of. When Heidi chatted with them and found out about their wedding plans and spiritual journey she knew they would make brilliant podcast guests.
In this deeply insightful epsiode, Betti and Afnan discuss sprituality, manifesting their relationship and plans for their Bali wedding with their head Shaman.
A great listen, which will really open up your mind to new ways of thinking and being.

Planning our 'blended family' wedding
One thing we don't see celebrated enough, are second and third-time around weddings. These can be just as beautiful and meaningful as first time weddings, so we thought it high time we address this topic.
In today's episode, we chat with Ellie & Eddie who very openly and honestly talk about planning their wedding day with their belnded family of 5 children clearly at the forefront. It's a conversation filled with both laughter and poignancy, and one we are very grateful to this lovely couple for sharing.

How I felt as a bride in her 50s
We chatted to wedding celebrant Juliette (@Juliettebythesea) on the last series of the podcast, when she shared her frustrations at planning her wedding as an older bride-to-be. She's now tied the knot and so we wanted to invite her back to ask how it went and to see if - and how - she overcame some of the obstacles she encoutered as a bride-to-be in her 50s.
Over the course of the conversation, Juliette and Ross (Heidi was away for this one), discuss mental health, represeantation, feeling celebrated and sticking to your values.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful
Such a lovely podcast - whether you’re a bride-to-be or not, the passion that Heidi and Ross have for their work absolutely shines through. A highly recommended listen!
Pod cast was excellent! How to get that newly-we’d Gloa
I throughly enjoyed taking part in the pod cast with Ross, how to have a wedding as individual as you are.
Recording with Ross was great and it really was a privilege as a makeup artist in the wedding industry to take part. The whole series of the pod cast is so fun and informative, targeted at brides and Grooms planning their wedding! Simply excellent in every way and a definite 5 starts ⭐️
Great wedding podcast
Rather than following the usual format of trend based inspiration, this is a great range of different topics from respected industry professionals for couples that want to have their wedding their way and not just follow the crowd. Well done Ross!
