Wedding etiquette is always changing, friends, and today I’m sharing how I think about some of the questions couples and guests are navigating now. We’ll talk about social media and respecting a couple’s wishes, gifts and guest experiences, and how to communicate a creative dress code. I’ll also share my thoughts on writing meaningful vows, using digital RSVPs, and sending thank-you notes. Whether you lean traditional or want to do things differently, I hope this conversation reminds you that etiquette starts with helping the people around you feel comfortable.

Ten years of Julian Leaver Events feels like a milestone worth pausing for, friends. In this episode, I’m looking back at the growth of the business alongside my own journey in sobriety, and the small steps that brought us here. I’m sharing my gratitude for the clients, vendor partners, family, and team who have been part of it all. We’ll talk about making mistakes, learning to accept help, and the quiet moments at weddings that remind me why this work is so special. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

There’s so much more to wedding planning than the beautiful photos you see online. This week, I’m opening up the unsexy tabs in my brain to share the work our team does behind the scenes. We’re talking force majeure clauses, rain plans, venue quirks, guest communication, and the time it takes to set up a vision. I’ll also share how we capture what we learn at each venue and why doing your due diligence before making a decision can save everyone from surprises later. These details may not be glamorous, but they make a meaningful difference to your experience.

Friends, I have thoughts about the speculation around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. In this two-part episode, I share my first reactions to the reported Madison Square Garden event, then revisit my assumptions after seeing guest accounts and emerging details. We talk celebrity privacy, fashion, and the different ways couples share their celebrations, including what I loved about Dua Lipa’s wedding rollout. I also unpack the planning challenges of a large guest list and why station-style dining can make room for guests to mingle. As always, I’m curious what you think—and what details we might see next.

Friends, let’s talk wedding planning in rapid-fire form. I’m answering questions about what to do first after getting engaged, how your timeline shapes your choices, and what to look for in a venue. We also get into guest lists, family dynamics, seating charts, first looks, and what a wedding party actually means to you. Along the way, I share a funny getting-ready moment in Spain, a challenging yacht situation, and the wedding moments that always make Francisco and me cry. And yes, we begin with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce—prepare your wedding feeds accordingly.

Every couple communicates and makes decisions differently, and that’s one of the things I love most about wedding planning. In this episode, I share how our team listens for cues, adapts our tools, and learns what works for you, from early vendor decisions to the details of a design board. I also talk about why it can be hard to picture a wedding that hasn’t existed before. Friends, please tell us how you learn, what you need, and when something isn’t working. Honest, open communication helps us adjust, make better decisions together, and have a lot more fun along the way.
