Trends and Traditions

On today’s episode, we have Sara and Danielle all to ourselves as they break down the biggest trends they’re seeing in the wedding industry right now, including the most striking color combinations, a resurgence of fun 70s aesthetic, and the heartwarming ways couples are paying homage to their families on the big day. Next, our hosts dive into the origins of some of our favorite wedding traditions, like why brides wear white, the bouquet and garter toss, bridal veils, and throwing rice at the happy couple.  You’ll also hear which scents bring back wonderful (and not so wonderful) memories for Sara and Danielle, their hilarious take on the great dog versus cat debate, and why you should never smash a wedding cake into a beautiful bride’s face on her special day - in case that wasn’t clear. Finally, Danielle tells the sweet story of how she met her husband, and Sara shares the best marriage advice she ever received.
