Redesigning a Tropical Wedding with Bride Llanée Bride to Have Been

    • Relationships

In today’s world, trying to get married has become... a hot mess. So, to all the COVID brides to have been, grooms and wedding professionals: you’re not alone. Welcome to Bride To Have Been, a StudioPod original podcast hosted by Emily Lewis, with the purpose of building a community by sharing the reality of this new normal in the wedding industry. Let’s keep inspiring each other and celebrate the thing we treasure the most: love.
In this week’s episode of Bride To Have Been, bride Llanée tells us all about how she had just dropped off her wedding dress for alterations when shelter-in-place orders started dropping. Llanée and her fiance Andrew were set to get married in May 2020 in Jamaica, but the global pandemic forced them to make a new plan. Now the couple is looking forward to tying the knot this summer, and only with a slightly scaled down version of their original tropical vision. 
Jump straight into:
(07:29) - Llanée and Andrew’s proposal story - “He gets down on his knee and then presents the ring and proposes, and of course everyone is there crying and screaming and recording my reactions.”
(11:40) - On Llanée’s wedding vision - “If you had asked when I was a kid what my dream would have been, it would have been, ‘Tropical wedding, not here.’”
(13:00) - Trying to process all of the new regulations - “How do you even redesign a wedding based on the fact that you can't have eight people at a table?”
(14:09) - On how close Llanée’s wedding was to the onset of the global pandemic - “When the announcement happened, I had just dropped my dress off to be altered.”
(23:07) - Getting the dress to fit right after postponing - “My dressmaker, she was just like, ‘Oh, so if you feel like you want to lose a little bit more... don’t.’”
(25:25) - Family traditions the couple is looking forward to - “Obviously we can't bring a cake, especially during COVID to Jamaica.”
