Published in an article by “The Knot” in 2017, “Custom guest entertainment has more than tripled, from 11% to 41% since 2009.” With the average price of weddings soaring past $30K, we have to ask, WTF?! So gone are the days of simply serving your guests cake and punch. In this episode of IDR we reject the idea that simple events are dull and invite couples to trade the 3 ring circus for a single act that is worth sharing with their nearest and dearest.

So you have invited guests from far and wide to come share in your special day. Which means you want to feed them something that is worthy of that plane ticket & hotel stay. A nice sit-down meal has been the gold standard for such an occasion, however the charming and modern venues that attract today’s couples lack the facilities to pull off such a meal. Listen in as we get real on what it takes to feed large groups of folks and how your decisions impact your event and your wallet.

What’s the first thing we all do when we get engaged (okay well, after telling your loved ones)? That’s right, you begin pinning wedding inspo like a mad woman. However, there’s something you should know about those pins. A good majority of them are the direct result of “Styled Shoots.” So before you add a budget line for that wedding Llama (nope, not letting it go), join us as we talk with resident photographer Maggie Gulling and reveal what it takes to get those “picture perfect” pins and how they mislead couples on their wedding day expectations.

Social media has couples believing that if your wedding photos don’t get “X” number of likes or shares, then your wedding just doesn’t rate. So much so that couples are going to great lengths just to get noticed, often at the expense of actually enjoying their wedding! Join us on IDR where we take on those ideas that are, let’s face it, just for the photos. #fywl

Anyone who has researched how to plan a wedding will find there is a vast difference in information found online between what is considered a “small wedding” or an “all-inclusive package.” Today on IDR, we are challenging what the wedding industry advertises and what they are actually offering and the general lack of variety in wedding vendors & services. Fair warning, ranting (and “f” bombs) ahead. -

Most of us love a party that is down-home; BBQ, beer and blue jeans. Yet decades of tradition dictates that weddings need to be extra dressed up. Fancy food. Fancy halls. Fancy clothes.
