The lovely Briar joins us on the podcast today. We chat about her recent wedding at her family bach in Huia as well as Pah Homestead. A few things we cover: 💜 A NYC love story and proposal at some sentimental spots. 💜 Planning a wedding from the other side of the world. 💜 Her creative process and intentionality with all the details. 💜 Designing her own wedding dress. Finding the perfect fabric and what inspired her on this journey. 💜 Involving family and creating memorable moments on their day. 💜 A big long table and family-style dinner. 💜 The post-wedding blues and how real it is to have a big cry after your wedding is over. 💜 Some amazing advice on slowing down and enjoying the process. ...and so much more!
