Hue I Do Podcast: From Fiancee to Forever
Hue I Do is the podcast that gets you down the aisle without trippin’. Because truthfully, wedding planning is way more than picking out a dress and tasting cake — there are physical, mental, and financial stressors that come along with it. And there’s so much more once you’ve become someone’s wife. Hosts and best friends Ashleigh Coffie and Toniah Paryo Gray know exactly what you’re going through, having recently planned their own weddings. Listen to Hue I Do every Wednesday for relatable stories, supportive guidance, and a touch of humor to help you through every step of your wedding planning journey and beyond.

The entire wedding day thrives off the creation of a successful wedding timeline. Competent wedding planners and coordinators will create the most detailed timeline and adjust it tens of times before the actual day. We talked to the CEO & Founder of wedding tech startup Fêtefully GiGi McDowell about the wedding timeline. Some of the points we cover in this episode include:
who should receive the timeline
what every timeline should include
the ceremony and reception events that take up the most time
common misconceptions within wedding timelines
the impact of vendor contracts in our timelines
the timing of the final timeline
We hope you enjoy the episode!

Did you know that the bonds we form with our parents and guardians as a baby influence our adult relationships? We discussed the four attachment styles (anxious, disorganized, avoidant, and secure) with marriage and family therapist Yvette Spears. Also, we talked about the type of counseling styles that may work best for us as there are a variety of styles there, as well. This is one you'll want your spouse to listen to also.

Last rerun episode but this one was a fave — we chatted with Michaela Johnson, the bridal stylist that helped Ashleigh find her reception dress in 2019.
They discussed gown silhouettes, who to bring to the dress shopping process, how SYTTD influenced gown shopping, and more. This is a great episode for brides that have yet to go look for their gown. Follow Michaela on IG at @michaelaj.j.

A rerun episode about how imposter wedding syndrome impacts brides, grooms, vendors, and the industry itself.
Imposter syndrome can also take place during the wedding planning process. Imagine, you're engaged and planning a wedding in a pandemic while seeing more expensive and loftier weddings every time you check Instagram. You may have doubts --- and we're discussing all of those feelings today.

Let's go beyond the bridal shower and bachelorette and talk about what the bridal party *actually* does. After Toniah ran errands at the venue and cleaned my bridal suite, we knew we needed a real episode to break down what the bridal party is responsible for on the wedding day. A Part of The Party's Alexis Y. Hardy joined us as our guest to help us figure out more about the bridal party's roles and responsibilities.

Go back and listen to this episode from 2020 about guest etiquette, plus ones, and other guest-related foolishness.
Do you need to give guests the option of a plus one? How do we get people to RSVP on time? Who should be invited to the wedding in the first place? We talk to Jennifer Price from Event Shoppe Chicago about these wedding guest conundrums and what we need to do instead of what we want to do.
We discussed plus ones, if wedding gifts are mandatory, how wedding guest invitations have evolved over the years, and briefly discussed wedding guest etiquette. This is another evergreen episode.
