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 first episode of Hue I Do was Toniah and I trying to figure out if these so-called wedding trends even applied to us. Four plus years later, we asked some of our friendors to share the wedding trends and predictions they foresee within Black weddings in the new year. We're discussing their thoughts in this episode.

There are two things you are likely to cut back on when planning your wedding: the guest list or the budget. For some of us, it's both. So we are discussing both of these in a two part series called You Need To Cut It.
This week, we're talking to the amazing wedding planner Allison Davis of Davis Row about cutting the guest list. The conversation will include:
how to trim your guest list
why you might want to cut the guest list without cutting down on spending
should we include plus ones
how to handle second-degree invitations
and more
Next week, we'll continue the series but definitely enjoy and share with a friend!
