The lovely Briar joins us on the podcast today. We chat about her recent wedding at her family bach in Huia as well as Pah Homestead.

A few things we cover:

💜 A NYC love story and proposal at some sentimental spots.

💜 Planning a wedding from the other side of the world.

💜 Her creative process and intentionality with all the details.

💜 Designing her own wedding dress. Finding the perfect fabric and what inspired her on this journey.

💜 Involving family and creating memorable moments on their day.

💜 A big long table and family-style dinner.

💜 The post-wedding blues and how real it is to have a big cry after your wedding is over.

💜 Some amazing advice on slowing down and enjoying the process.

...and so much more!
