Episode 1: Start by Stopping – What to Do First

The Bridal Journey Podcast

Show Notes

Before the Pinterest boards, budgeting spreadsheets, or venue tours, press pause.

In this first episode, Andie and Georgie invite you to step back and breathe because the best place to start is by understanding who you are as a couple.

We explore how to clarify your wedding priorities, how to filter out the noise, and why slowing down at the beginning sets the tone for a celebration that feels intentional, stylish, and deeply personal.

This is where your wedding planning truly begins.
