The dress gets packed away. The cake disappears. The décor comes down.

Your jewellery? You’ll wear it for decades.

In this episode, we’re joined by Amy from David Mellor Family Jewellers to talk about the wedding decision couples often rush — and later regret.

We cover:
The most common ring mistakes
Engagement rings vs wedding bands (very different jobs)
Comfort-fit vs standard bands
2025 trends: what’s fading and what actually lasts
Jewellery in the context of your full wedding look
Budget reality: what’s worth it — and what isn’t

Plus a quick-fire round (ultra-thin bands? Out. Comfort-fit? In.) and listener Q&A on timing, matching rings, regrets, and budget.

If you’re planning a wedding, this is about making one decision properly — because you’ll live with it long after the confetti’s gone.

Episode 8: Bridal Wear — But Make It Honest 👗🔥

This week at the Afterparty, we’re talking bridal wear without the sugar-coating.

Recorded at The Bridal Mill in Botley with Danielle, this episode dives headfirst into the stuff brides actually think, say, regret… and Google at 2am.

From dress regrets and mum opinions to 2026 trends we love, hate, and are fully side-eyeing — nothing is off-limits.

If you’re dress shopping, recently married, or just love a brutally honest wedding chat — this one’s for you.

Everyone plans a wedding.

No one plans for how it actually goes.

In Episode 7, we get honest about the things couples only realise after the wedding day is over i.e the expectations that don’t match reality, the decisions that quietly cause stress, and the stuff people swear you have to do (but really don’t).

We talk timelines, budgets, guest experience, traditions, and why so many “small” choices end up having big consequences. There’s a reality check on vendors, a brutally opinionated Worth It or Bin It, and listener questions we hear all the time but rarely get straight answers to.

If you’re planning a wedding — or wondering why yours didn’t feel quite how you imagined — this episode will make a lot of things click.
