    193: Pt2 Love Hires and the Ripple Effect: Stories from Real Weddings with Wilson & Lewis Photography

    Last week in Part 1 of this 3 part series, Tereza and Tony from Wilson and Lewis Photography broke down what love hires are, why couples are turning to them more than ever, and the ripple effect that runs through a wedding day when an important role is filled by someone learning on the job. This week, they go further. Today in Part 2, you will hear stories from real wedding days, and what it looks and feels like when the opposite is true: when every vendor is exactly where they should be, doing exactly what they were hired to do. Including: What happens when a gap opens up on a wedding day and someone has to decide whether to step in (or watch things unravel)Why a well-oiled vendor team feels completely different from a patchy one, and how that difference shows up in your photos and footage.The moment couples tend to notice something has gone wrong. Part 3 lands next week with the practical: what to consider instead of a love hire, and if you are going ahead with one, the steps you can take beforehand to reduce the risk.

    192: Pt1 - Love Hires and the Ripple Effect: How Things Change on Your Wedding Day with Wilson & Lewis Photography

    In the wedding industry, there is an unspoken code: solve the problems quietly, smile and protect the couple's experience. But it has an unintended consequence, because it means engaged couples are making planning decisions without understanding what they are actually costing them. Tereza and Tony from Wilson and Lewis Photography have witnessed hundreds of wedding days from first light to sparkler exit and they are talking about love hires: what they are, why more couples are turning to them than ever before, and what really happens when an important vendor role is handed to a friend or family member who has no idea how big the job actually is. You will learn: Why the money you save on a love hire is rarely the full cost of the decision,What actually happens to the friend or family member who says yes, andThe knock-on effect that runs through every other vendor’s experience and ability to do their job on the day. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series. Part 2 continues the conversation next week, and Part 3 brings the practical, what to book instead. Plus if you do choose to go ahead with a love hire anyway, the planning tweaks that can genuinely reduce your risks.

    191: 9 Things to Look For In Your Elopement Venue (Wherever You Are)

    You’ve decided the big white wedding is not for you and an elopement or micro wedding is what fits you. So you start looking at potential venues, and you hit a wall fast; half of them have a 50 guest minimum, and the other half never actually tell you what is included, or that you have to share the space, until you are already deep into the contract. Today we share the 9 things you need to check before booking your elopement venue, wherever in the world you are planning it.  Including the one clause buried in almost every Airbnb or short-term rental listing that could shut your ceremony down entirely, and it has nothing to do with how much you are paying.  Plus one new Adelaide CBD elopement venue that literally ticks all the boxes: Coco NB.  Resources:  COCO NB: https://camille-coconb.my.canva.site/ Our Wild Love Elopements: https://ourwildloveelopements.com/ Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast *The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.

    190: Family Funded Weddings: The Money Conversation You Need To Have

    You set a budget before you even got engaged or you had a number in your head. And then someone in your family offers to help, maybe with the venue, maybe with the photographer, and suddenly that number isn't entirely yours anymore. And the problem with an offer like that is you're stuck: You don't actually know what they're picturing.They don't actually know what it costs.Your budget doesn't know what to do with an offer that has no number attached to it.Today we're going to talk about who actually pays for weddings in 2026, why the answer is nothing like what you probably grew up believing, and exactly what to do the next time family offers to help. Including the one finding in this year's data that completely flips what you'd assume happens when family pitches in, and it has nothing to do with how generous they are.

    189: Has Your Wedding RSVP Deadline Passed? Don't Panic, Do This

    You set an RSVP deadline. You put it right there on your wedding invitation. You probably even sent a reminder. And yet, here you are, past that date, staring at a guest list where a chunk of people have just said... nothing. And the problem with no response is that you’re stuck:  Your caterer needs final numbers. Your venue needs final numbers. Your seating chart needs names.  Today we’re going to talk about why this happens, why it hurts as much as it does, and exactly what you need to do next. Including one strategy that I think is one of the most overlooked tools couples have in this situation, and it has nothing to do with sending another group reminder.

    188: Can You Say 'I Do' Without Selling Out? with Syclaire Warren

    While you might not label yourself as a feminist, most of my listeners believe in the value of equality. And that means that some traditional wedding customs definitely don't sit well with you. But your wedding doesn't have to be all or nothing, and this episode is going to show you exactly how to make it yours. My guest, Synclaire Warren, is a Gender Equity Leader, Key Note Speaker, and bride-to-be, who’s planning her very own wedding for this September. And when she announced her engagement online, many people commented that she was a sellout. A fake. That she was perpetuating a patriarchal institution. So today we are talking about what it actually looks like to hold strong values and still want a beautiful wedding. How to choose your own adventure when every tradition comes loaded with history and reflects a different era.  And how you, whether you're getting married or not, can live by what you believe without turning every dinner conversation into a debate.

    186: 5 Wedding Day Social Media Mistakes Couples Don't See Coming

    You might have arranged an unplugged ceremony, but what about the other 8 to 18 hours of your wedding day when it’s entirely up to your guests as to whether they take photos or video. While many couples don’t mind what’s captured, they often do care about what’s posted to social media, who gets tagged, and when.  Today I’m tackling the stuff the unplugged ceremony conversation never touches: spoilers, livestream complications, ex-partners, tricky family dynamics, children being posted without consent and more.  You’ll also learn about what one of my couples did this year when they realised that no amount of planning was going to guarantee that their wedding day was going to be what they wanted and why it might be the most brilliant and useful mindset shift of the entire almost 4 years of the Unbridely podcast.  Resources Mentioned: Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast *The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.
