499.5 - Q&A: A Bride’s Real Questions About Budgets, Planners & Pushback
Bridechilla - Wedding Planning PodcastShow Notes
Bridechilla listener and bride-to-be Sam joins Leah and planner Michelle Elaine for a candid bonus Q&A episode tackling some of the most frustrating parts of wedding planning.
What do you do when vendors don’t respond at all? How do you handle being told your dream location “isn’t realistic” for your budget? And how do you know if a planner is the right fit or just not the right fit for you?
Leah and Michelle break down how to advocate for yourself, approach vendor conversations with confidence, and navigate wedding etiquette without losing your excitement or your sanity.
Because your budget isn’t a limit. It’s a starting point. And with the right guidance, honesty, and creativity, you can still plan a wedding that feels aligned, intentional, and truly yours.
