“I never knew there would be so many decisions to make!”
“All of the vendor options are just so confusing & overwhelming. How will we ever possibly know the right decision for us?”

A Meaningful Wedding Does NOT Have to be EXPENSIVE!
This convo is not a tutorial on exactly how to save $1000 on your wedding. I’m not going to give you creative DIY ideas pulled from Pinterest, or explain how real flowers are a rip off, or tell you how to cut corners to save $50 here, $100 there.

Streamline + Simplify These Common Wedding Scenarios!
STREAMLINE + SIMPLIFY has been a tagline for the WPP literally since I created the show way back in 2015. (Look closely, it's even on our logo!) Not only are these two of my favorite words in the English language - that I try and live by in ALL aspects of my life - more specifically, they perfectly summarize my approach to wedding planning. Every situation you’ll encounter throughout your engagement can be examined through the lens of simplicity and potentially scaled back or streamlined in some way that will make your life easier, more affordable, more relaxing, and overall, more enjoyable. Often we find ourselves in the midst of a planning roadblock and the first instinct is to explore your options. In the first example we’re going to talk about today - a couple who has family in 2 different places, many of whom don’t want to travel, you might consider … getting married in each place, what would that look like? Getting married where we live? Getting married on an island with just us? In all the feelings and family dynamics and charged emotions that fly around throughout your engagement season, it’s sometimes easy to get lost in a million far-fetched options ... when the simplest, most streamlined option is left by the wayside. On that note, today we’re going to explore some common wedding planning scenarios where things can escalate and become verrrrrrrrrry complicated, very quickly. I’m going to do my best to point out some straightforward, simple solutions that I hope will make your engaged life EASIER, MORE AFFORDABLE, and put a stop to waking up in the middle of the night with your mind racing over how many passed appetizers there should be, how many people should be in your wedding party, and how much ice to buy for your welcome party. Ready to get started? Tune into the full show for so much more! Today's show is just the beginning of dozens of strategic recorded meetings that walk you through specific wedding planni
BOLD COUPLES know that creative decisions make the most MEMORABLE weddings💫
This week on the WPP we’re talking to real life bride @katelerickson about her search for the perfect venue to host a multi-day wedding celebration.
What me, you & Kate all have in common is that we’re seeking to create a wedding celebration that allows us to connect with our guests on a deeper level than what the traditional, standard old wedding format allows🙏🏼
Remember back in 2019 when a wedding meant hundreds of guests, and a few hours spent drinking, dancing, & tossing bouquets? When guests would line up to literally say hi to the newlywed couple for 10 seconds, and that was the extent of the “connection”? Or the bride & groom spent an hour going to each table, hugging and kissing 200 people in an hour? Is that really connecting with your loved ones on a deeper level? Or is that totally missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a shared experience that everyone in attendance will remember - forever?
What if we decided today that WE CAN CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT WEDDINGS - and we continue to keep it small. Keep it simple. Keep it intimate. Keep it like 2020 where only the truly important things matter.
Like so many couples have successfully done over the past year, and are continuing to do! Like listeners Kate & Kyle who are getting married with 18 of their loved ones in a multi-day celebration in Maine. Or Cameron and Mel, who are choosing to get married in Big Sur with just 25 loved ones - even though their venue opened back up, they are STILL choosing the intimacy, the connection, and the closeness that their offbeat wedding celebration affords. What if these small, intimate “OFFBEAT” weddings became the new normal?
No more 200 people crammed into a hotel venue space for 3 hours, but instead 20 people at a desert resort for 3 days. 30 people horseback riding, and sharing meals, and sharing stories, and CONNECTING over your marriage
ALIGNING Your Wedding Celebration with Your VALUES to Design a Truly Unforgettable Experience
ALIGNING Your Wedding Celebration w/ Your VALUES ...
to create an unforgettable experience of LOVE + CONNECTION.
Hey there it’s Kara, creator of the Aligned Wedding Effect and I believe that every engaged couple deserves to enjoy their engagement free from overwhelm and stress, so that they can focus on designing an intentional wedding celebration that reflects their values and encourages meaningful connection with their loved ones.
This, right here, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take control of YOUR wedding celebration.
Look, most couples are so caught up in the initial rush of excitement after getting engaged that they just dive head first into every single free wedding website, planning resource, blog and start making frantic, rushed decisions on what needs to happen next. The result? Overwhelm, anxiety, and constant pressure to plan your wedding the old way, the safe way, the way everyone else does it.
When couples like you press pause and realize that THEY are in control of crafting a wedding celebration that reflects their priorities, and is in alignment with their values, we’re going to see a huge, beautiful shift in the way our society thinks about weddings.
Sorry $72 billion wedding industry, it’s been too many years of picture perfect, staged FAKE weddings in magazines & on social media. Enough with the overpriced services, the insane pressure to book before all the “good” dates are taken, and the cookie cutter checklists that force the same products, services and canned traditions on every single couple.
Imagine what your engagement could look like if you were empowered to design your wedding celebration the new way, free from the same old advice that’s been recycled and repackaged for decades. Free from the anxiety that your wedding is going to look like every single other wedding you & your guests have ever been to.
Imagine if you had the confidence and the support to intentionally align your personal values wit
