PART TWO

Yes… part 2. We had way too much to cover in one episode.

In this half, we dive into everything from the unexpected Bali 2025 floods (what even is that), to supplier disputes, team outings to Balinese villages, behind-the-scenes chaos and a whole lot more.

Settle in, grab your popcorn, and come along for round two of our monthly recap with Leah.

This one’s a big one - literally. We’re back after a short break with a double episode full of catch-ups, chaos, and way too much candid talk.

It’s been a wild few weeks at Bali Brides… The team’s been hit with every sickness under the sun, hospital visits for both us and the teams kids, and a flu season that didn’t hold back. But weddings don’t stop, so what happens when your whole team’s sick and you’ve still got events to run? We get real about that.

Tristan also managed to sneak off to Komodo for her birthday - only to spend it sick in bed (classic). Then little Christian ended up in hospital, because apparently we can’t catch a break.

So grab a drink, get cozy on the couch, and get to know us a little better.

In this episode (Part One & Two):

• What we do when we’re sick but still have weddings to run

• Britta’s rant about clients skipping the process (book your calls, people!)

• Why we’re planners, not your mums

• How we qualify clients we work with (spoiler: we don’t take everyone)

• A note to all the AI-using couples - ChatGPT won’t write your love story for you

• “You get the effort you give” - the golden rule for enquiries

• Why going over budget isn’t our fault when you pick the expensive stuff

• Bossy clients, boundaries, and why we take weekends off

• Why client involvement matters (and what happens when you go MIA)

• New systems and training rolling out to level up our client experience

• What a “remote planner” actually is and how it works

• Our fave weddings from the past two months

• Tristan’s current girl crush

• Leah’s journey with Bali Brides and how she found her groove
  

It’s honest, messy, funny, and full of behind-the-scenes chaos. You’ll love it.

In this episode of Unveiled by Bali Brides, Tristan and Britta pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of wedding planning - the run sheet. You’ll find out why timelines are one of the last things your planner works on, what actually goes into them, and how they can make or break the flow of your day.

We talk about:

• When your planner starts working on your timeline (and why it’s not early!)

• What your planner handles vs. what you’ll need to decide

• How detailed a run sheet really is and why it’s more flexible than you think

• Why early ceremonies are not the vibe (cue fainting guests, sweaty groomsmen, and no bar service yet)

• What happens to your guests when you start too early (spoiler: they end up very drunk)

• Why we plan your timeline around golden hour and how it sets up perfect photos and a dreamy dinner

• Why trusting your planner is key, we’re the ones managing chaos behind the scenes

• The hidden stress your planner feels when timelines go off-track (and how we quietly fix it)

• What happens when things go wrong, supplier slip-ups, surprise performances, and clients going rogue

• How we handle “surprises” from family, drunk uncles, and well-meaning guests
  

Plus: We share some of our favourite extra entertainment ideas if your budget allows - fireworks, magicians, live tattoos, photo booths, and more.

And of course, Tristan relives her most chaotic on-the-day moment from the year a full-blown panic attack when the entertainment involved her worst nightmare… snakes.

Takeaway: Run sheets aren’t just about structure they’re your safety net. Trust your planner, trust the process, and let us keep the magic flowing (and the chaos invisible).
