In this episode, I chat with the lovely Abby, a recent bride and wedding vendor who shares an honest, funny and super relatable look at planning her wedding while juggling two kids, and working in the industry herself.

We chat about:

💜 How Abby and Storm met working in radio and the adorable proposal followed by a bit of chaos.

💜 Planning when you’re in the wedding industry and why picking a venue was the hardest part.

💜 Juggling wedding planning with two little ones, car seats, nannies and all the extra logistics that come with kids.

💜 The story behind Abby’s dreamy Trish Peng gown, a mix of two designs.

💜 Top priorities: food, music, people and what details she says don’t matter in the end.

💜 Fun party moments with tambourines, fireball shots, cowboy hats and Mr. Brightside.

💜 Abby’s best planning advice for staying sane and soaking it all in.

💜 All about Wildly Madly Deeply and how Abby and her mum help couples with planning, styling, florals and on-the-day coordination.

💜 Tips to stretch your floral budget and trends they’re loving right now.

...and so much more!
