REAL BRIDE || Laura Cole

This episode of the You and Me Podcast spotlights REAL BRIDE Laura Cole, who married her beau Aidan in a gorgeous intimate setting, surrounded by 30 of their closest people in regional Victoria. Laura and Aidan were booked in for a large scale marquee wedding with close to 200 guests when COVID hit and changed their plans dramatically. Understanding the risk of such a large gathering having the potential to not go ahead with how turbulent the year 2020 was, Laura and Aidan made the incredibly tough decision, like many in their position during the past year, to postpone their large scale event, and opt for a smaller celebration with their closest friends and family. To be able to achieve this new option, they had to source a new venue + even some new suppliers than those they had originally booked, and change their entire outlook on what they thought their day would be initially to what is what actually now going to look like. Scaling back the guest numbers allowed Laura and Aidan to invest in premium details throughout their celebration, with a focus on being able to indulge with their guests and really create an atmosphere that not only celebrated them as a couple getting married, but also their love for those in the room with them!
