Episode 180: 10 Reasons You Should Skip the Bridal Party

In this episode, we delve into a topic that is often considered taboo in the world of weddings: the reasons why one might choose to skip having a bridal party altogether.While traditionally, the bridal party is seen as an essential part of wedding planning, I feel compelled to explore an alternative viewpoint based on numerous conversations I've had with brides who have experienced the overwhelm and complexity that a bridal party can introduce. Drawing from personal experiences and feedback from couples, this episode seeks to provide a fresh perspective on wedding planning—one that prioritizes emotional well-being amidst the chaos of preparations.Whether or not you choose to maintain the tradition of a bridal party, the most essential takeaway is to prioritize your personal happiness and emotional health throughout your wedding planning. It's a time for celebration and love, and my goal in this episode is to help you find what truly feels right for you and your partner.What you’ll learn from this episode:The importance of supportEmotional pressures of having a bridal partyHonoring your relationships naturallyFeatured on the show:Follow me on Instagram to learn more about navigating your wedding with grace and ease: https://www.instagram.com/karaghassabeh/Check out **The Bridal Prep Academy:** https://karamaureen.comLet’s connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KaraMaureenBridalCoachingGet your copy of the book, **Whispers to a Bride:**https://www.amazon.com/Whispers-Bride-handle-stress-drama/dp/B0BCRXBQFN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UXWJVJOF3MNI&keywords=whispers+to+a+bride&qid=1662643892&sprefix=whispers+to+a+bride%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1
