79. Mantells Mt Eden Wedding with Bride Emma Ritchie

A lovely chat with Emma on the podcast today. Recent bride, married at Mantells Mt Eden. We hear all about her experience and advice.  A few things we cover: 💜 Meeting through mutual friends and then a beautiful at-home proposal. 💜 Falling in love with Mantells and the ease of using a venue where you don’t have to bring everything in.  💜 Not necessarily getting “the feels” or emotion you see in movies while dress shopping but finding the right one a Hera Couture and falling in love with it.  💜 Focussing on a classic and timeless look for their wedding day.  💜 How intentional they were choosing the 65 on their guest list and that feeling like a nice intimate number. 💜 One key vendor… a coordinator, and how that helped them feel relaxed on the day. 💜 A private moment with just the two of them following the ceremony. 💜 Dealing with wedding content overload and the pressure of what you “should do” for your wedding. ...and so much more! Below you can find the handles for all E & C's vendors. Be sure to check out some of their photos on IG at @thekiwiweddingpodcast + give us a follow.
