This week you will meet Haley Braun, owner of Flutter Bridal Co. in Dallas, Texas! Haley started her bridal boutique just this year and has been wildly successful in her efforts to help every bride find her perfect gown.
We got to interview Haley for The Ring Dish and pick her brain on ALL things wedding dress shopping! It was totally wild to learn the ins and outs of the seemingly impossible endeavor - but Haley taught us how to make shopping for gowns a breeze.
Haley answers questions like:
-
What should I bring with me when I go dress shopping?
-
WHO should I bring?
-
What size should I order?
AND...
How do I know if I've found "the one" ✨
Enjoy! 🥂

In this episode, your wedding planning besties discuss some of the most budget-friendly tips and tricks to create lavish wedding invitations on any budget. Whether you're planning a wedding on a shoestring budget or have a bit more to spend, there are plenty of ways to make your invitations look amazing without breaking the bank.
One great tip is to opt for simple and elegant designs. You don't need to have elaborate, multi-layered invitations to make a statement. Sometimes, less is more. You can choose a simple design that matches your wedding colors and add a few embellishments, such as a ribbon or a wax seal, to make your invitations stand out.
When it comes to paper and printing, there are also some ways to save money. You can opt for a thinner paper stock or choose a smaller size for your invitations. You can also consider printing your invitations at home or using a local print shop instead of a high-end printer.
Finally, don't forget to shop around for deals and discounts. Many online retailers offer discounts on bulk orders, so if you have a large guest list, it's worth looking into. You can also consider buying your supplies in bulk, such as envelopes and stamps, to save money in the long run.
By following these budget-friendly tips and tricks, you can create lavish wedding invitations that will impress your guests without breaking the bank. Happy planning!

The biggest budget mistake we see couples make is over-spending on their venue!
A venue (without food and beverage) should cost no more than 20-30% of your total budget. The $15,000 venue does NOT fit the $25,000 wedding budget - trust us.Remember: this has to include tables, chairs, and linens as well!

One of the FIRST things you'll do after you get engaged is sitting down to make a list of the people you want to invite - this can be fun and it can be overwhelming (both things can be true!)
Remember, one of the fastest ways to BLOW your wedding budget is to invite too many people... So let's whittle that list down, shall we?
Let's chat about...
- Where to start building your list
- Who needs to be on the list
- Who does NOT need to be on the list
- What to say to your parents if they want to invite extra people
And that's just the first five minutes! Y'all, this is SUCH a good episode and a must-listen if you are in the middle of building your guest list and need to "trim the fat" so to speak (you know exactly what we are talking about 😉)

Sharing these secret pet peeves so that you remember ONE thing:

Let's make this SUPER easy! What is your maid of honor in charge of?
Traditionally, the maid of honor is in charge of the bachelorette party, bridal shower, and making a speech, right?
Yes, but weddings are a lot more complex these days, aren't they? Depending on the couple, a wedding could be a quick elopement to the local courthouse, a week in Tuscany, or anything in-between.
THIS is why perhaps the most important thing you will do for your wedding is sit down with your MOH (maid of honor) and have a super frank conversation about your expectations. That conversation can look like this...
"You are the most important friend in my life. I absolutely adore you and our friendship is more Important to me than anything. That being said, I envision (describe your vision for your bachelorette) and (describe your vision for your bridal shower). What parts of that are you able to help with?"
Be realistic about your expectations for bachelorette expenses, bridal shower responsibilities, how much your MOH will help with wedding duties, and anything else you can think of!
Start by listening to this episode and sending it to your MOH - then book a date (we always recommend brunch because, duh) and have a heart-to-heart about your dreams for this beautiful season of life.

Good question! We often hear people on TikTok and Instagram (and in real life!) use these two words - "planning" and "coordinating" - interchangeably.
But they are NOT the same thing.
It is so important that you understand the difference between a Wedding Planner and a Wedding Coordinator before you book because:
- It will help you decide how much support you'd like on your wedding day and which service is best for you
- It will give you and your wedding pro clear expectations for wedding planning, management, and coordination
- It will give you peace of mind about the role of your support system (aka your planner or coordinator!) and the ways you can anticipate they will show up for you.
We've got your back! Did we miss anything in this episode? What wedding planning questions do you have? What do YOU think a wedding planner should be in charge of?

Date is picked and you’re SO excited to set up the website and send invites. STOP RIGHT NOW.
Do not (we repeat DO NOT) send out a ceremony time until you listen to this episode.
Honestly, we are barely scratching the surface on this one, y’all. At the VERY least, consider the following before setting your ceremony time.
- Will your ceremony be inside or outside? What time of year is it? Nothing is worse than a 4PM wedding outside in August. Nothing. However, 4PM outside in October might be perfect.
- What time is sunset? Do you want sunset photos? You definitely don’t want to run out of light before you’ve gotten the perfect pictures (this is your ONLY chance, get those shots, boo)
- How many hours is your photographer hired for? How much time does your photographer need for photos? Are you doing a first look? How long will it take you to get ready? Are you sure? How long does the hair and makeup team need? (ASK THEM!)
Above all, DO NOT send out invitations until you’ve talked to your planner/coordinator and your photographer about the best time to have your ceremony.
Happy planning!

If you want to live band for your wedding, chances are, you’ve been dreaming about this for your whole life and it’s a nonnegotiable!
However, there are several things to consider, when hiring a live band for your wedding reception.
Who will play music for the ceremony? Will there be a microphone set up for the ceremony? Who will play music for a cocktail hour? Will there be an emcee during the reception? When will the band eat dinner? What will play during band breaks?
We answer all of this and more in this week’s podcast episode! Happy planning!

THIS! Okay so there is A LOT to cover when it comes to picking the right venue for your wedding day. In this episode, we will cover three major pieces you must consider before booking your venue.
- Tables & Chairs - Are they included? Are there enough? Are you happy with how they look?
- Trash - What are the venue's requirements for trash removal? Who is in charge of trash removal? Can you dispose of garbage on site?
- For outdoor ceremonies/cocktail hours/receptions, what is the "plan B" in the event of bad weather? Would this plan B ruin your wedding day dreams? Will it require moving tables and chairs? If so, will the venue move everything for you or will you have to ask family and friends to flip the room?
Consider this "Part 1" - we have LOTS more to share when it comes to picking the RIGHT venue for you!
This one is all about SPARKLERS y'all! ✨
Sparkler sendoffs may be one of the very best way to end your nigh in style with photos to die for BUT...
We need to talk about the CONS of a sparkler sendoff, too. We want you to have the very best night and that will ONLY happen with proper planning using these tips! Enjoy the episode and happy planning!

The trend of changing into a reception dress or send off outfit is BACK! Y'all didn't think TikTok invented this, did you? If you did, you need to watch some good old 90s movies.
Back in the day, the outfit change was because the couple would get straight on a plane to their honeymoon! Now, we have a whole plethora of reasons for the change and we talk about the pros and cons of each.
Whether you choose to change dresses or not, make sure that your number one priority is feeling beautiful and confident. Don't follow trends, don't people-please. It's your day, diva.

This seems to be the question of the decade! Is it "okay" to register for a honeymoon fund or is it "chugey," "tacky," "greedy"?
There are a few considerations to make when you register for things like a honeymoon fund. Do you and your partner live together? Do you need anything specific? Is your kitchen already full of more blenders and toasters than you need?
In this episode we talk about how to say, "Please just give us money," in a way that makes your guests feel like they're blessing you with a gift you'll actually use!

Hand-written thank you cards may be one of the most tedious and necessary tasks in this season of your life. It is absolutely imperative that you send thank you cards out in a timely fashion and with the kind of appreciation the giver deserves (even if you're going to exchange the gift!)
When should thank you cards go out? Who gets them? How much time do I have? Do I have to hand-write them? What should I say?
NOTE a thank you card should at least contain the following:
1. Greeting - "Dear Angela and Bo..."
2. Tell them why you're writing - "Thank you so much for celebrating our wedding day with us..."
3. Mention the gift - "We absolutely love the blender that you got for us..."
4. Why you love the gift/how you're using it - "We will use it to make midnight margaritas!"
5. Thank them again - "Thank you for helping us start our married life together!"
6. Closing - "Love, Mary & Lyle"
BONUS:
Have your man sign the card and/or add his own touch!

The most common mistake we see in wedding planning is over-spending on the venue. When you're looking for "the one" (venue, we mean), keep these three things in mind:
-
What percentage of my total budget is this going to cost me?
-
What is included? I.e. chairs, tables, rentals, staff?
-
What hidden costs might there be? I.e. in-house catering, security, insurance, ordinances?
Happy planning!
