Bride or Die - Wedding Podcast

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!
