Where to Start
WTF is a Bridesmaids Survey Ft. Lauren Ladouceur
This week, Nicole sits down with bride-to-be and organization phenom Lauren Ladoucer. They dish on how to be the best kind of type-A bride: prioritizing communication. They cover her tik tok-famous bridesmaid survey, meant to break down their role throughout the planning process, during the bachelorette, and on the day-of. She also explains her “vendor presentation,” to streamline the couple’s vision on flowers, dining, and more. Lastly, they tune into the Betches Brides Voicemail, and advise an upcoming bride on a hair and makeup mishap that could jeopardize the entire day.
Is Your Wedding About You Or The Guests? Ft. Melissa Andre
This week Nicole is back with wedding and event planner Melissa Andre, one of our most listened to guests in Betches Brides history. In this episode Nicole and Melissa chat about how social media, especially TikTok, has changed the way people view the wedding planning industry. Did you know people have A LOT of opinions on the internet? Melissa then explains that, while your wedding day should be about you, keeping that Host/Guest relationship is what truly creates a welcoming atmosphere. They finish off with a game of Unpopular Opinions, leaning on Melissa’s 15 years of experience to cover topics like: How important are the getting ready photos? Are grand exits overrated? And the ongoing argument of Band vs. DJ.

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.
