129: How To Transform Your Smile For Your Wedding: Teeth Whitening Explained

 What if I told you there's a way to make your ceremony as unique and as vibrant and as deep and as weird and quirky as your relationship?   Today I'm digging into the world of non-traditional wedding readings. 

Forget the same old scripture passages, unless that's your jam, in which case there's nothing to see here. But I want to talk about poems that speak to your soul and make your heart skip a beat. Song lyrics that make you cry, and even quotes from your favourite TV show or movie that make you feel stuff.

Whether you're planning a ceremony that pulls at the heartstrings, is laugh out loud, funny, quirky, cute, or something in between, this episode is your guide to injecting personality and richness into one of the most important moments of your big day. 

I'm going to go through:

 * why non-traditional readings It can be a breath of fresh air for your ceremony,
 * some brilliant examples for unique and meaningful readings, lyrics and quotes,
 * how to choose the perfect words that reflect you as a couple and,
 * choose the perfect time as well so they fit into your ceremony rather than feeling like you're sitting at a uni lecture. 

By the end of this episode, you'll be bursting with inspiration to create a ceremony that's as one of a kind, as weird, adorable, and unique as you two are.  

So grab a notebook, maybe a tissue or two, because we're about to delve into feelings and we're going to get poetic, lyrical, and maybe even a little cinematic

128: 9 Non-traditional Poems, Quotes & Lyrics That Add Richness To Your Wedding Ceremony

Do you really need more than one outfit for your wedding day?

Is it just another wedding industry or consumer-driven extravagance, or are there more practical reasons and even history and cultural significance behind the perceived increase in multiple outfit changes on a wedding day?

In this episode you’ll learn why brides (not excluding others who want to get into the 2nd outfit fun, but mainly brides) are embracing more than one wedding day look, what kinds of 2nd outfits are popular and available to you (hint: they don’t have to break the bank) and how to time your change perfectly to make the most of photo opportunities and your party time too.

Make sure you listen right to the end because bridal boutique owner and stylist, Bianca from Sposa Adelaide [https://thesposagroupbride.com.au/adelaide/], shares her insider expert advice about different options you might not have considered and how to pull off your wardrobe transitions like a pro!

127: Is A 2nd Wedding Outfit Over The Top? Your Options For Maximum Impact, Less Stress

Imagine waking up the morning after your wedding, still basking in the glow of the previous night's magic, and receiving a link to a treasure trove of candid photos and videos from your special day. Within 24 to 48 hours, you can relive the laughter, tears, and joy through hundreds of unedited and edited moments captured by a wedding content creator. Sounds great, right?

But here's the real question: “When is it a smart move to book a content creator for your big day, and when might you be setting yourself up for disappointment or even undermining the work of your professional photographer and/or videographer?"

I’ve been inspired by the Brad and Karina podcast episode as they shared a few less-than-ideal experiences working with content creators and contrasted that against the times when they’ve worked with collaborative team players. 

I thought that it would be super valuable for you, to help you understand how the roles of photographer, videographer and content creator are very different and which one (or ones) you choose to book for your wedding depends on what you want to get out of it, where your priorities lie and your values too.

When should you hire a wedding content creator and might it not be the best choice for you?

124: Tracy & David - DIY Family-Orientated Cocktail Wedding in WA

Planning a wedding that truly reflects you both can feel overwhelming at times, right? With so many options, it's tough to know where to start, what works and what doesn't.

But what I’d love to encourage you to do is to forget about fleeting “trends” – because I want to explore some ideas that are genuinely creating magical moments in 2025 weddings. And I’ll also shed light on some outdated approaches that couples are happily leaving behind. 

And when I say wedding trends, I’m not here to dictate the hottest colours or push you towards budget-busting extravagances that don't resonate with you.

Instead, I want to share the thoughtful choices couples are making in 2025 that genuinely enhance their wedding experience. And some of them might not be new, as such, but they are definitely gaining in popularity.

Today, I’m diving into ideas that are working right now to maximise your precious time, create unforgettable moments, and minimise any post-wedding regret.

From reimagining traditional timelines to incorporating technology that brings far-flung loved ones closer, we'll see how couples are creating little pockets inside their weddings that feel authentically 'them.'

I’ll also look at ways people are reducing stress, amping up their guests’ experience, and refining the elements of their day (or days) by serving a purpose that means something to them.

123: 2025 Emerging Wedding Trends and Things On Their Way Out

What's your relationship with your parents worth to you?  

This episode was inspired by a real-future mother of the bride and Unbridely Podcast listener, who reached out to me about her own daughter’s wedding.

The Mum left me a voice message because she was wondering how to broach the topic of offering money to help pay for her daughter’s wedding and how to make sure that it came across to the soon-to-be-weds as helpful, thoughtful, intentional and not controlling, or just throwing cash at them.

She wants her contribution to be valued and meaningful to both her and her daughter.

So today, I share a few insights on how I think it’s best to work through this potential minefield of emotions, power, money and expectations.

How do you accept help from your parents without feeling like you're losing control of your own wedding? 

How do you keep your relationship with them intact while still staying true to what you and your fiancé want?

Your going to learn some real, practical strategies for setting boundaries, having those awkward conversations, and making sure your wedding stays YOUR wedding. 

Plus I want to share with you how my parents contributed to our wedding and how it made our wedding day and general relationship with them even stronger.

122: How To Accept Money Towards Your Wedding Without Selling Your Soul

Have you ever walked away after a conversation, or been driving home and thought:

“oh man, I should’ve stood up for myself” or “I should have said what I really felt” or worse still you couldn’t think of anything in the moment but you realise what you should’ve said afterwards.

It's a scientific fact that once you get engaged (maybe 2nd only to when you get pregnant) you’ll be on the receiving end of more uncomfortable dare I say STUPID questions than you’ve ever been asked in your entire life. And they can make you feel uncomfortable, they can be of a private nature, or quite simply no one’s business.

So today I’m here to help you decide the options available to you.

From the high-road, classy replies that neutralise the conversation so you can change topics OR if you’ve got nothing to lose, the sassy, spicy, sarcastic retorts that, for sure, burn bridges, but also let people know that you’re not playing.

And at the end of the episode, I’ll also be sharing some all-rounder replies that work for pretty much anything—responses that let you stay cool, calm, collected, and come out of it smelling like roses, no matter what’s thrown your way.
