Planning a wedding should be fun and exciting — but too often it turns into a part-time job.
You're stuck in Pinterest overwhelm
You're making huge decisions with zero guidance
You're worried you’ll miss something important (because, let's be honest, you don’t know what you don’t know)
You deserve support, not stress.
