96. Stoneridge Estate Wedding with Bride Chloe Tusa

In today’s episode, I'm sharing my lovely chat with Chloe, a recent bride, married at Stoneridge Estate in Queenstown.A few things we cover:💜 Getting engaged in the most Gossip Girl-worthy way (yes, at the top of the Empire State Building 😍).💜 Choosing a destination wedding in Queenstown and why Stoneridge was the perfect venue.💜 Getting a custom Brooke Tyson Ritual wedding dress made and changing up her look with a beautiful scarf.💜 DIY stationery and signage: the rewarding (and time-consuming) process.💜 Navigating wedding planning as a young couple, including budgeting and guest list challenges.💜 Honouring Samoan culture with a traditional Siva performance.💜 Overcoming comparison, social media pressure, and finding peace in authenticity.💜 Honeymooning in Bali and moving overseas right after the wedding....and so much more!Below you can find the handles for all C & D’s vendors.
