In today’s episode, I'm chatting with Lana about her gorgeous Southland wedding!

A few things we cover:

💜 Meeting her husband at a friend's wedding, where they were both in the bridal party.

💜 Her vision for a wedding that was fun, modern, and timeless.

💜 Choosing to celebrate their big day on the family farm, a spot that was significant to them and allowed their guests to stay on-site.

💜 How their friends and family rallied to get the property looking amazing for their day.

💜 The couple's top priority for their guests to have a blast! Opting for a cocktail-style reception with food flowing throughout the night, rather than a sit-down dinner.

💜 Looking beyond Southland to find their wedding vendor dream-team.

💜 Finding her dream dress at Natalie Rose Bridal in Auckland, straying from what she thought she’d choose.

💜 Prioritising quality vendors alongside DIY projects and being savvy with certain areas of the budget.

...and so much more!
