  • 177 | Why Rebranding Was the Best Decision for our Business (+ Tips for How to Prepare for a Rebrand)
    Jan 13 2025

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    Hey loverves! If you’ve been following along for a while, you might’ve noticed something a little different about us recently. That’s right—we’ve had a rebrand (and have shiny new podcast cover art to prove it).

    Now, rebranding is more than just a fresh logo or a new color palette—it’s about redefining who we are, what we stand for, and how we connect with you, our amazing loverves. So today, I wanted to take some time to pull back the curtain and share what this process looked like behind the scenes.

    Whether you’re a wedding planner, a creative entrepreneur, or one of the couples we’re lucky enough to work with or support on this podcast, I think you’ll find something valuable in this episode. We’ll talk about why we decided to rebrand, the steps we took, and even some lessons I learned along the way. And, of course, I’ll be sharing tips for anyone out there considering a rebrand of their own. Let’s dive in!

  • 175 | You've Booked Your Vendors, Now What? A Step-by-Step Checklist For What's Next
    Dec 30 2024

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    Today, we're going to explore that "what's next" feeling you might be having after you've booked your "main" wedding vendors. It's a huge accomplishment to have found and booked those vendors, and as a wedding planner, I know that it can bring a HUGE sigh of relief feeling like "the hard part is over". However, it's important to remember that there are still a million little things to do before your wedding day. So often, couples feel like they're "done" once they've booked their vendors, but the reality is that there is still a lot of work to be done. In today's episode, we're going to dive into exactly what to do after booking your main wedding vendors.
