Nobody talks about how overwhelming it actually feels to plan your wedding abroad. The tabs, the spreadsheets, the unanswered emails — and the creeping feeling you're doing it all on your own. That's why we started The Wedding Whine. Two sisters. One big idea. Honest conversations about destination weddings in Cyprus — the real bits, the brilliant bits, and everything in between. Because sometimes you just need a whine. With a wine.

    Destination guest lists are a battlefield! | The Wedding Whine Ep 4

    You invite 80 people. Forty-five turn up. That's not failure — that's a destination wedding doing its job. This week on The Wedding Whine, Kate and Charlotte go all-in on the most stressful, opinion-loaded part of wedding planning: the guest list. What's in this one: – Why destination weddings naturally cut your guest list in half– Charlotte's Whine of the Week — a £2k hen do bottomless brunch bill, 52 rowdy women, and a mum who went missing on the way to Dream Boys– The Tuesday-night flight booking hack you didn't know you needed– Why ONE extra guest changes everything (buses, food, bar, favours, the lot)– Kate's horror story: the surprise guest who turned up at her Cyprus wedding– Charlotte's horror story: the guest who didn't have a passport 10 days before the flight– Chosen family vs blood family — and why the people who showed up changed everything Supplier Spotlight 🤍 Vasilias in Paphos — the venue Kate got married at. Up to 120 guests, sleeps 16, multiple ceremony spots, full disabled access, and a Mediterranean buffet people are still talking about. Owned by Christina and Nina, two of the most organised humans on the planet.

    The episode no one wants to record but everyone needs to hear — wedding budgets, honestly. Kate & Charlotte break down what a real Cyprus wedding costs, how Kate funded hers, the "girl maths" trick that saved her money on suppliers, why cash is king abroad, and the sneaky hidden fees to watch for (yes, hotels can charge your guests to attend). Plus our free budget dashboard, a supplier spotlight, and a big milestone. Plan your wedding for free at https://weddingbesties.co.uk/. Got a horror story? Send it in for next week.

    The Wedding Whine - Episode 2: Say YES to the dress and ignore everyone else

    What if your wedding dress went missing the night before the wedding? It happened to Kate. We get into it. This week on The Wedding Whine, Kate and Charlotte go all-in on the dress. The shopping, the strangers' opinions, the family pressure, the budget, and the full horror story of losing the wedding dress the night before the big day. Plus — Kate gets honest about plus-size dress shopping (the bit no one talks about), what actually worked, and what she'd do differently. And the lot of practical Cyprus/destination dress tips that no one tells you until it's too late. Supplier Spotlight  Jane at Cinderellas (wedding dress cleaning & restoration) and Holly at HK Steaming (pre-wedding dress steaming) — two suppliers you'll want in your contacts.

    The Wedding Whine — Episode 1: "Just Engaged, Now What?"

    The ring's on your finger less than 10 minutes and someone's already asking to be a bridesmaid. Welcome to being engaged. In the first proper episode of The Wedding Whine, Kate spills the lot about her £15k Cyprus wedding — the Iceland Blue Lagoon proposal, the booking horror story (she rushed the date and picked shutdown season), the "pick a seat not a side" rule, the open-top bus, the Mediterranean buffet, and her one big regret she wants every newly engaged couple to avoid. Honest, chatty, and a bit chaotic — exactly what wedding planning actually feels like.
