Every week I sit down with the planners, designers and real Brides I have spent years learning from, and ask them all the things you actually want to know. Venues, dress shopping, budgets, destination weddings, guest lists, and the parts of wedding planning nobody prepares you for, every Wednesday.

    Georgia Haldenby on Hidden Wedding Costs, Budget Regrets and What’s Actually Worth the Money

    Georgia Haldenby has spent a decade planning extraordinary weddings, from luxury celebrations across Europe to Grace Beverley’s wedding in the South of France. But after years of organising other people’s big days, she found herself on the other side of the aisle, planning her own wedding at the very hotel where her career began. This week, Georgia joins Georgie to share what every couple should know before planning their wedding, from the questions you need to ask before booking a venue and the hidden costs nobody warns you about, to whether you really need a wedding planner and why bridal TikTok might be giving you unrealistic expectations. They also get into the realities of destination weddings, why a wet weather plan is essential, what she learnt from planning Grace Beverley’s wedding and how to create a celebration that feels genuinely personal rather than another Pinterest-inspired wedding. Plus, Georgia reveals where couples waste the most money, why she flew her wedding photographer over from LA, the unexpected last-minute cost of making her wedding fireworks happen and why the after-party deserves more attention than you might think.
