083- How to plan an Ethical and Environmentally friendly Wedding Aug 17, 2015

Show notes

How many dolphins will die because of your wedding? Bloody none I hope! Here’s the thing, weddings are awesome but there can be a lot of waste (and I’m not even talking about money) when it comes to your big day. In Episode 83 of the wedding podcast, I was prompted to think about this topic and record this episode after a listen, Charlotte contacted me about ways that her partner could make sure that their event is environmentally and ethically sustainable. The old adage ‘every little bit help’ is really the key to this episode. I’m not suggesting that you go mental trying to make everything enviro-friendly but I hope by the end of the episode you will just consider being mindful of your carbon footprint and give back to others where you can!

081- 8 Phallic Free Bachelorette Ideas Aug 10, 2015

Show notes

Phallic Free Bachelorette Ideas, I encourage you to ditch the penis straws and magic mike’s and instead embrace some super celebratory alternatives, bringing you 8 hens party/ bachelorette ideas that are all about fun and not breaking the bank. There seems to be a big trend in going away on elaborate and extravagant holidays for bachelorette weekends and while that sounds fabulous, I get a lot of bridesmaids and friends emailing me saying that they feel financially pressured to attend (like my work mate interviewed in this episode). When you take away the cocktails and spray tans, bachelorettes are all about celebrating with friends and you should need to fly to Hawaii to do that! Share this episode with your bridesmaids and maid of honors and get planning the best, fun day/evening/weekend ever! Be on your way to wedding Planning Zen with the Bridechilla Guides!
