Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Sarah - co-founder and designer at Naked Vice Meeting through mutual friends - Sarah and Matty began the relationship with a quick couch chat at a Christmas afterparty, and rekindled on a holiday to Bali! Noosa holds a special place in their heart and made the most sense for them to explore a destination wedding there - close enough for all guests to be able to attend, they created a garden party styled soiree under the stars, dancing within a clear roof marquee well after the sun went down. Long tables lined with their closest loved ones, Sarah's fondest memories really were the time spent with those around them - it's not every day you get a room full of all your special people. Not every event goes to plan though and Sarah had the guest bus turn up at the location where she was getting ready and having photos instead of arriving at the venue!! The guests started to get a sneak peak of the bride just a little too early - thank goodness Matty was not on that bus! Able to laugh about it now - she was lucky enough to have a wedding planner on hand throughout her process to help navigate hiccups here and there - and a dedicated bridal party to shield her from all the excited eyes!

Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Remi Lindsay - head of marketing for the Rubinstein Group. Attending the same small university but never crossing paths, Sonny and Remi met instead at the local races, a big day turned even bigger night - yet both of them decided from that moment forward that they were meant to be together.. Remi knew Sonny's sister from uni without knowing him just yet - which allowed her to essentially get a head start on the dating game - their values aligned, his family was nice - this was someone Remi knew she wanted to explore life with! A proposal that was personal and intimate - a low key setting that reflected their personalities and kept the special moments just for them to enjoy. Remi had some prior experience in the events and PR scope so began the process of wedding planning with the most important elements being their wedding location - which they knew they wanted to keep local for their family and friends. One piece of advice that Remi continuously comes back to throughout her entire planning process was that the investment for each couple should be most importantly made with themselves in mind! The non-negotiable details are those that they, as the couple, remember. Don't worry about the little things that may go a tad rouge, or the changes that can potentially occur at the last minute (like those pesky bread rolls on the dinner tables being placed WAY too early!) - none of them matter in the grand scheme of things! Grab a champagne and hit the dance floor - those are the memories you'll want to make!

Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Lexi McMonagle - designer for swimwear label Seafolly. Braidan and Lexi met while they both lived in Brisbane yet came together again when Lexi made the trip down to live in Sydney with him after some long distance relationship work. Braidan was able to convince Lexi to come with him for a picnic in the park with Lexi thinking the ring box was actually chocolate brownies! She was in for the best surprise when she turned around with him down on one knee asking her to marry him! Lexi and Braidan worked alongside Belinda from The Curated Life and got married in a private residence in Elizabeth's Bay in NSW - surrounding themselves with amazing suppliers such as Erin and Tara for their photography, they leaned on the professionalism of the suppliers to come together to create magical moments for them and their guests. The weather played havoc in the lead up to their wedding day - stressful moments were had the morning of, with torrential rain setting in for what seemed like the rest of the year! And yet, as you had it, the weather cleared just in time for their ceremony, and the rest of the day was enjoyed in and outside by guests! Fresh whites and and the subtlest hint of baby blue drove their creative aesthetic, with Lexi and Braidan treating their guests to a surprise saxophonist, and a dance floor that lasted well into the evening!

Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Jessy Marshall - founder and owner of leading boutique public relations and events agency based in Sydney, Australia - Hive HQ. Planning a wedding with friends and family all across the country of Australia in the middle of Covid meant that Jessy and Michael had to attempt three different guest lists, change to three different locations and attempt to design three different styles of events all while juggling state lockdowns, boarder closures and flight cancellations to finally be able to have their dream day. A sit down long lunch in the gardens was decided upon as their reception - and maybe it can be seen as bucking the norm or changing up the format yet the afternoon spent with friends and family was quintessentially them - and goes to show that its so important to plan your day the way you want it to go! Another positive for a long lunch celebration? An early night means that the celebrations could continue the next day!! Tequila shots before the ceremony, a Margarita truck and sunset photos as a closing formality allowed Jessy and Michael to enjoy their wedding day with their guests in their own way, have actual conversations with those who attended for more than a minute and allowed them to reminisce on the journey it took to get there - with the most important thing being - they had their day, their way (as best you can manage it during the Covid years!)

Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Hannah Chody - NYC resident and VP in the family business as she delves into the twists and turns of getting married abroad! After being pre-warned on the plane flight over that this was NOT the time that they'd get engaged, Hannah was completely surprised by her husband-to-be but also her family (who were in on the elaborate secret proposal) on a family vacation to Mexico. While preparing for the annual family Christmas card photoshoot, Chad proposed to Hannah under the Mexican sun and they were luckily able to celebrate with her family long into evening as the sun went down! With family and friends from all over the United States - they decided that Lake Como in Italy would be the place that they would get married. Holidaying there each year - they had intimate knowledge of the local area yet worked alongside planner Rachel Birthistle to bring together the best suppliers that brought an intimate yet bold aesthetic to their day and a dance floor that lasted well into the evening! Individually hand painted plates for guests, snake motifs throughout their creative and a nod to her mum in her afterparty frock - Chad and Hannah treated those most special to them to a three day affair that imprinted the fondest of memories on all those who attended.

Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Amy Hembrow - business owner of Sskins and Tammy Fit App and now mamma to two beautiful babes! Covid played a part in their journey - like so many other couples over the last few years. Amy would have been happy to have a court house wedding, but Rory wanted a celebration - so into the planning phase they jumped! Their guests list changed a few times and with the pesky boarder closures - restrictions left them with an imitate 26 people in attendance - however their guest list made sure to enveloped them with love, laughter and a really fun dance floor! A year postponement meant that their original date had to change but their venue The Bower Estate in the Queensland Hinterland stayed the same and was on hand to help with all elements - suggesting suppliers, supporting the couple in planning requirements and coordinating the wedding day so that Amy and Rory to be able to enjoy each and every element as it came to them. The look and feel of their wedding day was really made to invoke a feeling for their guests - romantic and relaxed - a day that focused on the fun elements rather than overboard aesthetics. With a love for musician Nick Cave, Amy saw that his wife's designer brand The Vampire's Wife created some incredible fashion pieces and so - and without trying it on - purchased on a whim what turned out to be her wedding dress! Shimmering silver details and statement sleeves - Amy's dress was the epitome of her outlook to her day - personal, individual and comfortable while looking incredible - a day that finally arrived and allowed them to celebrate such a special moment with their families and loved ones.

Today on The You and Me Podcast we chat with Adriana Maiolo - designer from Melbourne bridal boutique Kyha Studios. James and Adriana met through friends at school at 16 years old and amongst a few growth periods that saw them work through their own paths in life - came together to celebrate their wedding day at the gorgeous Stones of the Yarra Valley in regional Victoria Being a designer for a top bridal house - Adriana was privy to the inner-working minds of many brides as they went through the planning process however the design of her dress was at the forefront of her mind when her turn came around. The final product was a dress that was a little bit different, a little bit out there but a whole lot her! Adriana made sure that she was involved within the entire process to oversee the making of the dress and enjoyed being on the other side of such an important experience with owner of bridal house Kyha by her side. A top piece of advice she shared with us was to invest a little more in the important suppliers - don't spread yourself thin on having it all, compromise on those elements that don't mean as much to you as others and prioritise your spends so that what you're focusing on is what you will be reminded of when you look back on your wedding day.

Happy Monday lovers! We are back for another week of wedding chat and today on the pod we have the ever gorgeous Brooke Hogan discussing her incredible wedding day spent with friends and family at a venue close to their hearts - Myles’s family-run Hotel Sorrento in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Brooke and Myles frequented the space with their friends and family on a regular basis - and wanted to give them a different experience that what they would be expecting if hosting their wedding at the hotel - so opted to design a classically elegant dinner, hosted under the stars. Keeping the romantic and timeless details to a aesthetically pleasing minimum, Brooke decided to go with a seaside inspired colour palette alike to the tones of the ocean in front of them and leaned on Alison from The Petal Project to create a dreamy floral explosion with hints of blue in a "sky meets sea" approach to their creative design.
