We’re back with Season 4 of Guides for Brides - The Wedding Podcast. And we’re starting it off with a bang! Our very own host, Nikita, will be going over all of the things she wished she had known before she started wedding planning.

What is covered in this week's episode?

In this week's episode we cover all the things Nikita wished she had known before planning her wedding. Having gotten engaged in the summer of 2022, she’s deep in her wedding planning at the moment. So she knows exactly what you’re going through.

Despite being in the industry, and giving multiple talks and tips at The National Wedding Show, Nikita found herself running into issues she hadn’t necessarily predicted. From dealing with changes in the budget to the classic venue disagreement, she’s facing the same issues as you! With the help of Jess, Nikita goes through the main hurdles she has overcome throughout her wedding planning journey, helping you navigate these issues yourselves.

Planning your wedding can be a stressful time, especially if this is your first time planning something this large. It is important to remember that it is your wedding and you should be happy and comfortable with the decisions you make.
