81. Te Tumu Estate, Papamoa Wedding with Bride Grace Poihipi

The beautiful Grace joins us on the podcast today. Recently married at Papamoa's newest wedding venue: Te Tumu Estate. A few things we cover: 💜 Crossing paths as kids, becoming best friends during uni and then falling in love. 💜 Not expecting a proposal when she did and how her partner and friends coordinated (and captured) the perfect moment. 💜 A focus on their guests, food and a good party. 💜 Not getting too caught up in frivolous or expensive decor and details, and focusing their budget on other areas. 💜 Planning the wedding mostly herself, with help from family and friends. 💜 A stressful moment on the wedding morning when all the last-minute things came up, and how she moved past that to be present and in the moment. 💜 Some entertaining moments they planned to set the tone for their celebration. 💜 A Fiji honeymoon with some alone time and time with friends. 💜 Key advice for couples that you don't want to miss! ...and so much more! Below you can find the handles for all G & R's vendors. Be sure to check out some of their photos on IG at @thekiwiweddingpodcast + give us a follow.
