85. The McCallum Residence Wedding with Bride Hilary Wham

The lovely Hilary joins us on the podcast today to chat about having two weddings and planning from across the world in London.A few things we cover:💜 Meeting on a dating app in London, not thinking it would go anywhere initially and then becoming inseparable.💜 A lovely surprise proposal at the beach on a visit back home.💜 The overwhelm of starting to wedding plan and how the start and the end are most intense!💜 Not knowing where to go with vision and styling, and how choosing their venue helped inform that.💜 The struggle of having family and friends spread across the globe and why they decided to have two weddings (and a baby in between!)💜 Her experience dress shopping and eventually finding "the-one" online for her kiwi wedding.💜 Having an intimate, long-lunch style wedding, a hot summer's day, live music and good vibes.💜 How she navigated being 32 weeks pregnant at her wedding (pretty flat shoes for when the heels came off!) and the busy year of life they had surrounding both weddings and parenthood.💜 How they found all their incredible vendors and the importance of vibing well with them, making it easy and natural on the day to work with them.💜 Why you should definitely duck out at sunset for some photos and time alone together.💜 Where she drew her inspiration from and how the network of vendors in New Zealand can be so helpful with recommendations. 💜 The high of the wedding and the drop and emotions that came the next day....and so much more!Below you can find the handles for all H & A's vendors.
