Where to Start
Cut Your Wedding Wardrobe Expenses In Half Ft. Brides Love A Sale
This week, Nicole is joined by highly requested guest Kat L., creator of the website Brides Love A Sale. They start off by getting to know Kat, what inspired her to start Brides Love A Sale and how it has evolved into a tool to help future brides wear high fashion for half the price. Then, Nicole reads an email from a listener who is worried about the logistics of not only purchasing a secondhand dress, but how to work it into her timeline so it won’t outshine her original full price dress. Finally, they end on a round of “After The Wedding” Unpopular Opinions where we find out if telling your friends your partner’s secrets is okay, if changing your last name is too much work, and if it’s okay to go to bed mad at your partner.

Our Reviews
Nicole and Jordana are doing the Lord’s work answering tough questions with logic, wit, and love. So grateful in such uncertain times, especially for brides to be, to have these down to earth ladies to listen to. They educate, motivate, entertain, and over all reduce the impending doom feeling that comes with being a corona bride.
Even though I’m not engaged, I still love listening to this podcast because of how great Jordana and Nicole are. I love both of their honesty, and I think Jordana gives amazing advice— and not just on wedding dos and don’ts but relationships as well.
I love listening every week, just to hear about what other brides-to-be are going through, and get advice. This podcast keeps me laughing through planning a wedding, and it’s so fun to listen to!



Think of Jordana and Dr. Naomi as your BFF and your therapist, sitting side-by-side at the brunch table trying to help you get through your problems. Because sometimes we really need advice from people with no skin in the game. And let’s face it, your friends can’t stand to hear that story one more time.
