How Can I Be a Zen Bride?
Working with brides as part of The Zen Bride Workshop, I hear over and over again how much stress there is. That’s usually around planning a wedding. Here are 7 tips to help you on the journey.
Let the Conversations Begin!
The first Wedding 101 Panel took place on Tuesday, June 24th. There were so many amazing moments, and great advice given. However it really struck me how many conversations need to happen when planning an event. It goes without saying that it takes a team of vendors to pull off a wedding - or a very, very organized couple.
What is a Zen Bride?
We live in a fast-paced world with lots of responsibilities. Work, home, relationship - and for engaged couples, wedding planning. Unfortunately, the wedding planning tends to fall on the bride. Traditional norms often place wedding planning primarily on the bride. With more responsibility comes more stress.
Marriage 101 - Let’s Talk Taboo!
So when I created Ever After Academy and started putting together Wedding 101 Panels, it made the most sense to expand to marriages, as well. And that meant tackling the taboo topics head on. I decided to gather a Sex Therapist, Financial Advisor and Matrimonial Attorney to offer advice and provide tips to allow couples to dig deeper into these topics. And so the Marriage 101 was born!
Why a Wedding 101?
A few months ago, I was at an event industry gathering and met a woman who was newly engaged. She had no idea how to start planning her wedding!
So a colleague and I gave some advice on things to consider as you begin to plan your wedding. She followed up by saying that we should teach a Wedding 101 class.
