In this episode, I chat with Audrey about her beautiful autumn wedding at Mudbrick on Waiheke Island, from booking the venue before they were officially engaged to planning a celebration that was very different from what they originally imagined.
We chat about: ๐ The sweet story of how Audrey and her husband went from friends to getting engaged ๐ Why they booked their wedding venue before the proposal even happened ๐ How their intimate wedding plans evolved into something much bigger ๐ Why the venue and photographer were always going to be Audreyโs top priorities ๐ The unexpected way she found her Trish Peng wedding dress ๐ The thoughtful details she used to bring her Chinese heritage into the day ๐ Why they chose moss over traditional wedding florals ๐ What Audrey learned about choosing the right wedding vendors ๐ What she would change if she could plan the wedding all over again ๐ Her honest advice for couples currently planning their own wedding
โฆand so much more!

Planning a wedding from the other side of the world is no small feat, especially when youโre also moving countries just weeks before the big day.
What happens when you stop worrying about what a wedding is supposed to look like and create something completely your own?
