New episode alert! 🎙️ We're diving into 2025 wedding trends—what we HEARD vs. what we actually SAW this year, and honestly? Some surprises!
We start with ceremony must-haves (yes, you need mics! Fresh batteries are your friend 😅) and processional music tips (spoiler: one song per person = Endless processional). Then we get into trends that actually worked: intimate guest lists and wedding parties, wedding vow tips, unique wedding locations, and those gorgeous seasonal touches.
Plus we're talking private cake cuttings, signature drinks + hot cider bars, the canoli vs. wedding cake debate, and whether favors and garters are still a thing. The best part? Many of these choices aren't just stylish—they save you time, money, drama, and stress too!
Whether you're planning your 2026 wedding or just love all things weddings, this episode is packed with real talk and practical tips. Link in bio! 🎧✨
