Wedding planning is an emotional rollercoaster for couples, and behind every seating chart and floral arrangement lies a complex web of feelings that skilled planners must navigate with grace and understanding. Riley Snider, Certified Wedding Planner and Certified Educator, joins Krisy Thomas to explore how wedding professionals can serve as the steady emotional anchor their clients truly need.This conversation uncovers the hidden emotional undercurrents of wedding planning; from navigating family dynamics like divorced parents who can't sit together, to financial anxieties that persist regardless of budget, to the profound grief felt when loved ones are absent from the celebration. Riley shares a touching personal story from her sister's wedding, where subtle tributes to their late father, a single rose on an empty chair and a photo charm on the bouquet, held deep emotional significance without overshadowing the day's joy.What sets exceptional planners apart is their ability to read between the lines, recognizing when a normally enthusiastic couple goes quiet or becomes fixated on seemingly small details. These behaviors often signal deeper concerns that require gentle exploration through compassionate questioning. Riley also emphasizes the importance of maintaining professional boundaries while providing emotional support, offering practical strategies like setting communication hours kindly and staying composed in high-pressure moments.Perhaps most importantly, Riley highlights self-care for planners. From designating admin days and establishing pre-wedding rituals to keeping a collection of client thank-you notes that reconnect you to your purpose, these practices ensure you can show up fully present for each couple without burning out. After all, to be the calm in someone else's storm, you must first ground yourself. Presence and empathy aren't just complementary to technical skills, they're the most powerful tools you have for creating wedding experiences couples will remember forever.www.cwpsociety.com | info@cwpsociety.com | IG: @cwpsociety | FB: @cwpsociety
Any chef will tell you that we eat with our eyes; that the way a plate of food is presented and appears will affect the taste of the meal.So then surely, when we first enter a wedding reception space, the visual impact of the room is like the opening scene of a movie and the precursor for everything that comes after. And for those engaged couples who are not booking a stylist, or who have locked in a dry hire venue, one of the most overlooked aspects of wedding planning has to be the lighting, draping and audio visual elements.Today I'm chatting with Sam, from Amuse Event Lighting and Audio Visual.He shares insider tips on how to prioritise your lighting budget, collaborate with stylists or suppliers, and avoid common pitfalls, the things that couples overlook, like functionality and safety, highlighting key features, and how to make your wedding look like a scene straight out of a movie. If the thought of fairy lights, chandeliers, or creative mood lighting feels overwhelming, this conversation will give you clear, practical advice to light your wedding day perfectly.RESOURCES Amuse Event Lighting and Audio Visual: https://amuselav.com.au/Amuse Event LAV on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amuselighting/Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.

Navigating the magnificent scale of South Asian weddings demands more than standard planning approaches—it requires masterful team leadership. In this compelling episode, Certified Wedding Planner and Educator Rima Shah of Big Guava Events joins Krisy Thomas, COO of the CWP Society, to share battle-tested strategies for building, preparing, and leading teams through multi-day celebrations with hundreds of guests.Rima reveals why finding the right team members is her first priority, seeking out Certified Wedding Planners whose foundation of knowledge provides an essential "security blanket" when executing complex events. She emphasizes matching team size to wedding scale, noting that a 400-person celebration across multiple spaces simply cannot be managed by a skeleton crew without sacrificing quality.The conversation delves into Rima's meticulous communication protocols, from comprehensive Google Docs shared a week before the wedding to on-site walkthroughs that orient team members to each space and responsibility. For those new to South Asian traditions, she describes her approach to cultural education, ensuring assistants understand not just what happens during ceremonies like Baraat or Hindu rituals, but why these moments matter—allowing them to anticipate needs and recognize significant transitions.With remarkable candor, Rima shares a challenging leadership moment involving an assistant who crossed professional boundaries at a destination wedding, highlighting the importance of swift decision-making to protect your reputation and client experience. Her powerful closing advice—"Don't be scared to ask for help"—reminds planners that delegation is strength, not weakness, and that trusting your team to handle more than you might initially believe can be the difference between merely surviving and truly thriving in the world of complex cultural celebrations.Whether you're specifically interested in South Asian weddings or simply want to strengthen your team management approach for any large-scale celebration, this episode offers practical wisdom from someone who's mastered the art of leading with intention.

Kate discovered Libby Lamont and her husband Ryan last year through their viral TikTok videos reviewing sandwiches. Based in Los Angeles, Libby is a wedding content creator, stylist, and former film industry professional. After planning her own wedding, she found a passion for capturing candid, behind-the-scenes moments and launched Candid Content to give couples authentic glimpses of their big day. In this conversation, Libby reflects on growing up in Minnesota, meeting Ryan, her creative career path, and how their lighthearted sandwich reviews unexpectedly captured the internet's attention.

After 20+ years in the wedding industry, I thought I'd seen it all… until this wedding. Four hours from home, a venue that went bankrupt days before the big day, vandalized bathrooms filled with concrete, no power, and the only light coming from guests' car headlights — and that was just the start. In this episode of The Snagged Podcast, I'm finally sharing the wedding disaster I stayed silent about for years, the lessons it taught me, and how you can protect your wedding from worst-case scenarios.
