Let’s Go Dress Shopping at Zolotas!!

This week's episode of Weddings Unfiltered drops you straight into the chaos of a real bridal dress fitting and it’s everything you’d expect and more. We’re inside Zolotas as Jess finally tries on gowns she’s been dreaming about for over a decade, and let’s just say… picking “the one” is not as simple as it sounds. From instant yes moments to second-guessing every detail, you’ll hear the unfiltered reactions, opinions flying from every direction, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with finding the perfect dress. One minute it’s “this is it,” the next it’s “wait, try the other one again.” Beyond the dresses, the conversation dives into the reality of wedding planning. From navigating budgets and DIY decisions to the behind-the-scenes stress vendors deal with, it’s a raw and honest look at what actually goes on. We also get into maid of honor duties, hen party planning, and the pressure of making everything come together. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by choices, questioned your decisions, or just wanted to be a fly on the wall during a bridal fitting, this episode brings you right into the moment.

The Financial Systems Every Wedding Business Needs

In this unfiltered deep dive, we're joined by Jess, a qualified accountant from The Small Business Book to talk all things financial literacy for wedding vendors. We get into the non-negotiables for setting your business up from day one, how to maintain your businesses finances, tax, monthly bookkeeping and knowing your numbers. We also go deep on accounting software, why Xero's project tracking might change your life, and the horror story of what happens when your bookkeeping setup has been wrong for years and just... keeps unravelling. Plus, we talk about why vibing with your accountant actually matters, the emotional damage of reconciling a mystery eleven cents, and why knowing your own numbers is the thing that makes you a smarter, more confident business owner.   Join The Wedding Vendor Academy: https://weddingswithshelby.com.au/wva-enroll Book Jem Weddings Deluxe Coordination: https://www.jemweddings.com.au/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsunfiltered_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Be our next guest: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/p2yfwj1RC7MdEraxuiTR Share your story: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/Qu8nKxCGuFNOP2EOTBZj

AI Is Taking Over… But Are We Actually Using It Right?

AI is everywhere right now and yeah… we’ve got thoughts. What starts as wine, chaos, and a very questionable bottle quickly turns into a real, unfiltered chat about how AI is actually being used in the wedding industry (and whether we’re all doing it wrong). We get into how vendors are building custom bots, using AI as a sounding board instead of a crutch, and why so much AI content still feels painfully obvious. There’s a big difference between working smarter and losing your voice and we’re calling it out. We also dive into the stuff people don’t talk about enough: digital overload, the need to switch off, and the slightly terrifying reality of where AI could be heading if we’re not careful. It’s part strategy, part chaos, part “what the hell is going on?”—exactly how we like it.   Join The Wedding Vendor Academy: https://weddingswithshelby.com.au/wva-enroll Book Jem Weddings Deluxe Coordination: https://www.jemweddings.com.au/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsunfiltered_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Be our next guest: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/p2yfwj1RC7MdEraxuiTR Share your story: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/Qu8nKxCGuFNOP2EOTBZj
