Betches Brides
When a bride accepts a proposal, they’re not expecting to say yes to distress. But wedding planning can be the most stressful time in any relationship — families collide, personalities clash, and wallets empty even before your mother-in-law adds her entire bridge club to the invite list. Good thing Betches’ bride guide is in the house. Each week, Fallon Carter — one of the nation’s top wedding planners — guides real brides in need of advice, empathy, and laughter through their nuptial nerves, and invites expert friends on the podcast to dig deeper into our brides’ biggest problem areas.

Where to Start

Getting “Glass Skin” For Your Wedding

Aesthetician Brittany Blancato is back on the podcast to give your skin the bridal bootcamp it didn't even know it needed. She explains the different treatments brides can get, including back and (yes, really) butt facials, and when to cutoff each in anticipation of your wedding. She also shares the products everyone needs in their at-home routine before getting into listener questions with Fallon. The duo answer whether or not skincare trials are a thing, what to do if you're the bride on her period, and the process for finding an aesthetician for your groom.

Dress Codes And Pinterest Boards

Maddy Paul, Senior Content Manager of Lifestyle at Betches, joins Fallon this week to debrief dress codes. From the difference between black and white tie to why dressy casual should be illegal, Maddy and Fallon discuss them all — including what to wear to each. They also discuss why “come as you are” on your wedding invitation is asking for trouble. (Just make the Pinterest board.) Then, they play a game of “Can I Wear This?” with real dress submissions from our listeners and a quick round of Unpopular Opinions.

Bride Guide: Mail Bag Edition

This month's Bride Guide is dedicated to you and your questions. Fallon kicks the episode off with a DM she received from a bride wanting to know how early she can send out invitations to her destination wedding. Is there such a thing as *too* early? Then, she addresses a bride’s anxiety over working with a couple as her photographers, in the event of a fight or break-up, and another bride’s debacle of whether or not to include her dad’s partner in her bridal suite the morning of her wedding.
