What standout moments are highlighted from the wedding series?
This episode of Stylish is brought to you by Michael Hill. Whether you're planning a wedding, celebrating a milestone, or searching for a piece that's uniquely yours, Michael Hill is here to help you mark life's most meaningful moments. There were so many golden moments from this year's wedding series, our three-part series on wedding culture that Rae and I hosted. We decided to pull together the parts where we spoke to what brides actually care about right now. This first clip is from our episode with Andy from The Bridal Journey.
I think what brides are going to be doing is really personalising their weddings with these really cool brand touch points. And I want to reference this wedding that we featured on The Bridal Journey. Their names were Sophia and Dan and they had a two-part celebration and I really loved this wedding because it was just entirely unique to them. So they had a Burning Man wedding. They got married in the desert and they had their guests like riding bikes. It was like this Burning Man theme. It was like incredible. And then they had a second wedding and it was... The theme of lucid dreaming. So it was like you were entering this lucid dream and the guests were in sparkles and bright colours and it was at this kaleidoscope garden, like this amazing garden, and they had bubble guns on the dance floor.
So it was just this really cool theme and this Y2K feeling to their wedding. And I don't know what it is because I couldn't find anything written about it, but they had this bar where they were making like these... They had like these takeaway big slushy cups and they were kind of rolling. They had all these activations. They were rolling like this amazing sprinkle design and giving out these drinks. And it was just like all really like personalized and branding to who they were as a couple.
We've also done a survey on you. We asked you all about your regrets and how that shaped your experience when it came to your weddings. This is from our Biggest Wedding Regrets episode. We'll pop all the links to the full episode in the show notes. Our survey revealed that 69% of you have regrets about your wedding. Is this more or less than we expected?
I think it's, oh God, I'm going to say it's slightly more. I thought it would have been around 50%.
I thought it was going to be like 80%. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, because I just think you can nitpick little things from the day. Like everyone has got one little thing, even if it's not major. It's like one tiny little detail.
How can couples personalize their weddings?
Someone could think of a regret.
Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Let's talk about what people actually regretted though. We gave our listeners 12 categories to choose from, but the most common was other at 33.1%. Jo, what was the next most common response category wise?
The second most common category our audiences regret centered around was guest lists. And that was followed by your chosen photographer at 8.9%, dress at 8.6%, and makeup and hair at 7.7%.
I thought dress would have been higher. Photographer, what do you guys think about that? Do you think that's higher than what you thought?
I think it's lower than what I thought.
Yeah, I think lower.
Because I think photos, like, that's kind of what you have after, like, you've got the memories, but physically, like, you have the photos. So, yeah, I think that is a common regret because if it's not what you thought or, like... The photographer's styles and what you wanted.
The guest list being the highest isn't a huge surprise for me. I think back to our original wedding series and also the previous episode that we did, guest list came up a lot. I also think the reality of it is that is reflective of a certain time in your life. And as much as you can try to nail it, we had this really good method to the madness, as I would put it, or Cassie famously would put it in my team. She always says that. is past, present, future. They have to be in at least two of those camps.
That's a good one.
It is good, but it's not bulletproof. Like there's no foolproof way that you can guarantee every single person on your list will be in your life in the future already.
