65. Bali Destination Wedding with Bride Amy Hislop

The lovely Amy joins us on the podcast today. Recent bride, who opted for a destination wedding in Bali, we hear all the details!  A few things we cover: 💜 A relatable and hilarious dating history then eventually a blind date that worked out. 💜 A very sweet farm proposal. 💜 Navigating immense grief alongside celebration. 💜 Looking for venues, doing the math, and how they changed plans from an NZ to a Bali wedding. 💜 Having Amy’s favourite photographer and makeup artist join them from NZ and why it’s always worth putting it out there to NZ vendors. 💜 The experience of planning a wedding from overseas and what was key in making it so easy. 💜 An excessively hot wedding day, lots of sweat, pool dips and some hilarious moments, including a near miss with a coconut. 💜 Honouring those who have passed on the day. 💜 The price comparison between and NZ and Bali wedding. 💜 Having a holiday honeymoon with all your loved ones. 💜 The importance of a marriage, focusing on all that really matters, and not getting caught up in the details. 💜 Loads of valuable wisdom and advice, I think some of you will be planning Bali weddings after hearing this! (I’ll come!) ...and so much more! Below you can find the handles for all A & D's vendors. Be sure to check out some of their photos on IG at @thekiwiweddingpodcast + give us a follow.
