    How to Pay Tribute to Passed Loved Ones at Your Wedding

    How to Pay Tribute to Passed Loved Ones at Your Wedding

    How do you honour a loved one who is no longer with us on your wedding day? How do you pay tribute to them, without it being a major downer? How do you adjust your wedding plans if someone pivotal won't be there?
    Listen in as I give suggestions for creative and personal ways to pay tribute to your deceased loved ones and offer alternatives to wedding traditions where a loved one usually has a major role. I'm also reminding you that it's okay to feel your feels about this shitty situation and skip any traditions that make you uncomfortable.

    How to Plan a Semi Destination Wedding

    How to Plan a Semi Destination Wedding

    In this week's episode of the Unconventional Wedding Planning Podcast we're talking about semi or half destination weddings. So this would be a wedding where half or most of your guests are flying in, but it's local to you, or your guests are local, but you're flying into the destination. Most of the advice online for destination weddings imagine you and your guests all flying off to the Caribbean or Italy for a week. But what if it's just half your guests going from New Hampshire to Seattle?
    Tune in as I discuss how to make life easy for your out of town guests (and yourselves!), some important things to consider when planning a semi-destination wedding and how to hold your boundaries when planning solo. And shout out to the listeners who requested this topic - thank you!
