EP15 // How Naomi Plans an Eco-Friendly Wedding that Helps the Planet (and the Pocket)
Often we think about the Wedding expenses leaving our pocket, but what about the Wedding choices that are hurting our planet? It's human nature to think about what we outlay to receive something in return, but this particular human Naomi Kroll has the tendency to care for the environment she lives in, minority groups and holds a strong sense of community. So strong, that she spends a lot of her time Volunteering for United Nations Association of Australia (UNAA - NSW Division), offering her skills to raise awareness on the UN’s Sustainable Goals to make the world a better place. Pretty amazing if you ask me! In today’s podcast episode, we explore how Naomi conscious choices in her wedding venue, vendors and elements has reduced her wedding carbon emission by approximately 60% less than the average wedding, and how she discovered even with that she would need to plant about 450 trees to offset the carbon. Furthermore, she shares some super useful tips on what to ask suppliers, how to be more eco-friendly, the amazing Wedding Footprint Calculator from Less Stuff More Meaning, how you can save money by being more conscious and how to offset the carbon in your wedding planning activities.  ______________________________________Want to plan the wedding the wedding you really want simply, stylishly and free-of-stress? Here's a few ways I can help you:1 // Download My Free Wedding Planning Masterclass: https://www.roughandrose.org/freeIt's everything you need to know with a step-by-step roadmap to your dream wedding day including three common mistakes to avoid.2 // DM Julia on Insta - let's be friends, I'd love to chat! https://www.instagram.com/bewedded.co3 // Full show notes for all episodes can be found at https://roughandrose.co/blog

EP13 // How to Plan your DREAM Wedding By Going on a Date Night with Your Fiancé
Wanna know why you shouldn’t jump the gun and take action with wedding planning, like the research, the enquires, the visiting of wedding things just yet? We all know you’re excited about being engaged and wanna start on the fun stuff but in today’s podcast episode I’m asking you to STOP for a second, book a date night with the Fiancé to talk about why you are doing this, how you envision it to be like and how to be aligned in this once in a lifetime dream wedding. This simple thing, will save yourself some heart-ache later on. This step is something I see many, many couples skip and to be fair, I did also but if only I knew this back in 2015 when I was planning my own wedding and didn’t take “oh babe, you make all the decisions! I don’t really care about the wedding and I’ll be happy with whatever will make you happy” direction from my then Fiancé, Reuben. The thing is, you don’t go on a holiday without a plan of how you’re going to get there right? So similarly, you don’t have a wedding without a plan on how much it will cost, who is doing what and when, what type of wedding you are hoping to have, what’s important to you guys or what’s not important. But often, you forget to align this because excitement carries you away with doing all of the things before you’re supposed to. Wanna know how to align your dream wedding on a feel-good date night to save yourselves any heart-ache later?
