Wedding planning stress: why it happens and how to manage it

In this episode of The Wedding Editors Podcast, Yvonne Dixon explores why wedding planning can quickly shift from exciting to overwhelming, especially when decision fatigue, outside opinions, family expectations and the pressure for perfection all start to build.

Yvonne shares practical advice on how to take back control of the planning process by getting clear on your intention, prioritising the decisions that genuinely matter, and learning how to listen to opinions without letting them take over your vision.

You’ll also hear this episode’s 3 Weddits, plus a Celebrity Confidential story about a high-profile couple whose wedding had become almost unrecognisable from what they originally wanted, until they stripped it back and rebuilt the day around what truly mattered.

This episode is for any couple who wants to plan their wedding with more clarity, calm and confidence, without losing sight of what the day is really about.

Your day. Your way. Without the wedding planning stress.
