    The Peak Season Pricing Check-In

    It's June. You're booked. You're exhausted. And somewhere between the third wedding this weekend and your fourth gas station coffee, you're starting to wonder: am I actually getting paid what this season is worth? If you're charging based on what feels right, we're just going to say it — you're probably undercharging. Pricing should be built, not copied. And peak season is the moment of truth. In this episode, we're getting real about: 💸 The signs you're underpriced (booked solid but broke? resenting your calendar? we see you) 💸 What you should actually be factoring into your rates — emails, consultations, trials, travel, mileage, kit restock, your assistant, education, AND taxes (yes, all of it) 💸 The green lights that mean it's time to raise: booking months out, clients saying yes without flinching, consistent inquiries rolling in 💸 Peak season vs. off-season pricing, and whether to raise rates across the board or just for new inquiries 💸 How to communicate a price increase without apologizing for it 💸 The mindset block nobody talks about — the guilt, the "what if no one books me" spiral, and what shifted for us when we finally raised our rates Plus, we're leaving you with homework: pull up your next open date and ask yourself if the price on it reflects who you are right now — not who you were two years ago. 🎧 Press play, then send this to the wedding vendor friend who needs to hear it. If this episode lights a fire under you, follow When in White so you never miss a check-in like this — and leave us a review to help more vendors find the show. Your future self (and your bank account) will thank you.

    Summer Wedding Guest Experience 101

    Your guests are about to show up in 90-degree heat wearing cocktail attire — and how you handle that is going to make or break the energy of your entire day. (Yes, really. Hot, dehydrated guests = flat photos and an empty dance floor.) In this episode, we're breaking down exactly how to keep your people comfortable, hydrated, and actually having fun at your summer wedding — from the moment they pull into the parking lot to the last late-night bite. We're covering: ✨ Welcome bag essentials (what guests actually use vs. what gets left in the hotel room) ✨ The water station hack every couple forgets — and why a single bar pour isn't enough ✨ Shade strategy, parasols, custom fans, and where to always seat your older guests ✨ Bug spray: the unsung hero of every outdoor ceremony ✨ How to word your invite so guests know to plan ahead for the heat ✨ AC vs. open-air receptions, dress code cues, and late-night snacks that actually land ✨ The ONE thing brides forget every single time (you'll want to write this down) Whether you're planning a backyard summer celebration or a full Tahoe weekend, this is your guest experience playbook. 🎧 Hit play, then send this episode to your maid of honor, your planner, and the bride friend who's getting married in July. Don't forget to follow When in White so you never miss an episode — and if you loved it, leave us a review! It helps other brides find us.

Spoiler: some of these got high marks. Others… we'll see you on the Labor Day episode for the receipts. 🌞 Press play, then grab a notebook because you're absolutely going to want to make your own list after this one. 🤍 Follow along: @wheninwhitepodcast

    No More Doomscrolling — Here's What We're Actually Doing on Social Media Now

    Last month we admitted something embarrassing — we've been doomscrolling instead of actually showing up on social media. Well, that stops NOW.

Brides, this one's for you too — because understanding how vendors show up online might just help you find your dream team. No more excuses, no more scrolling into the void. Let's go.

    The Simple Stuff

    This one's a little chaotic in the best way. We're talking about the moments that actually inspire us — and spoiler, none of them are a mood board. Light through a window. A scrapbook. Something you noticed on a walk that you can't stop thinking about. This episode is basically us making the case for quiet... and giving you full permission to do less, notice more, and let the ordinary stuff move you. No framework. Just two people who really believe in the power of slowing down. If this gave you permission to step away from the screen for a minute — good. Go do that. And when you're back, tell us on Instagram what simple thing has been inspiring you lately.
