Bride or Die - Wedding Podcast

Mum-preneurs - this episode is for you!Today's episode we talk about being an entrepreneur in the wedding industry & motherhood. How it's shaped us and our businesses. We discuss why there is no such thing as mum guilt if there's no such thing as dad guilt. Why we highly recommend getting divorced and the importance of not marrying a loser if you want to thrive... in business and in life. Why dreaming big is essential, like dream guests for the podcasts - Hi if your watching/listening Harry & Megan or Victoria Beckham! Spoiler alert they won't be. But we get it. Sometimes its hard, sometimes is fantastic and the rest of the time it's somewhere in between! So enjoy this episode and hopefully if your felling overwhelmed with work, life and wedding planning you'll feel less on your own. Andrea & Jordan xxxx

Andrea had an epiphany during plastering one of her new bedrooms - god I wish I had paid someone to do this! Today's episode we discuss the merits involved with DIY - yes you'll save some money but is it worth it? Because when you're paying a professional the likelihood is that its not just the product that you are paying for it's the stress it relieves knowing that someone is taking that worry off your plate & will have and plan B,C &D should god forbid something goes wrong. Also shout to Andrea's lovely builders Crockett Carpentry who were a pleasure to deal with. Hope the wedding planning is going well! So let us know in the comments below what are you doing to be DIY'ing if anything or are you too scared to and will be leaving it to the professional. Lots of Love Andrea & Jordan xxx

Hi everyone,So firstly massive apologies, we did not mean for it to be so long, but trust us we have had lot going on and just as Andrea got her life together and had headspace to record Jordan was hitting the ground running in full on wedding season!I don't want to ruin the surprise for you incase you read this bit first but as the other south coast legend Charles Dickens once said "It's been the best of times, its been the worst of times". It's been a bit of a stressful time but also some of the best things have come out of our struggles so we're both really excited to be back to tell you all about them. If you have stuck around, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. It really does mean the world to us. Lots of Love Andrea & Jordan xxxx

Add the "W" word and the price doubles - why?! Let us help with our insider knowledge to break it down for you as Andrea has discovered this week after attending a few wedding fayres. £4+VAT per chair you say?! 🫨 I was honestly shocked when I heard that... and it takes a lot to shock me. I understand now how it can look that if you say wedding the price doubles, but not all wedding suppliers do this & whilst yes charging to use a chair IS an absolute p*ss take, charging more for the work load that doubles isn't. We discuss whether the recommended supplier list is to be trusted and what questions you should ask to make sure it's based on merit. Let us know in the comments what is the cheekiest thing you've seen a wedding venue or supplier charge for? Lots of love Andrea & Jordan xxx

Groom 101 We thought it was only fair we did one about grooms... and we even managed to be nice about them to! :-) But in all seriousness our lovely partners have restored our faith in men and its good to get their perspective on what they're most looking forward to from our big days... other than their stag do!We also have a great way to remember what you need to be doing and where & what ever you do - don't smash cake in your partners face... it's the quickest way to a divorce the same day! Andrea & Jordan

You're engaged and want to start looking at dresses but maybe you're a bit nervous about going, is it too early/too late or maybe you're worried about family dynamics of who to bring? Andrea shares all her best advice (and gossip) from behind the scenes of what she found worked when she had a boutique & why she was left no choice but to start charging for appointments, why the brides who came on their own were the best appointments and why Percy Pigs were her favourite answer from a bride once! We also talk about wedding fayres, why we love them and which ones are the best in Hampshire! EnjoyAndrea & Jordan

Kid free wedding - what camp do you fall into?Camp yes - I want an adult event; orCamp no - Dear god will someone (quite litterally) think of the child!!!Now as you know me and Jordan don't mind a childfree wedding, we love a chance to let our hair down and enjoy a wedding whilst not having to entertain a bored child. But not everyone is as cool as us 😜and would be horrified at the mere thought of 12 hours away from their child, even though it would probably do them a world of good! We hear of a story that even took our breath away and when a bride takes it too far, which coming from us is saying something... We launch our preloved bridal event and now have a website that you can get in touch with us - fancy! And Andrea continues to worship Victoria Beckham, nothing changes!
