Having the most US Wedding!


Hey Reader!

I’m so excited to bring you this week’s Hey Bride episode with Alyssa, a recent bride and day-of coordinator whose wedding was “for the people, by the people.” She described it to me as, the most Us wedding imaginable. And I think you'll agree after listening that it really was! With just four months and a $2,000 budget, Alyssa and her husband created a day that went beyond inviting guests—they brought their loved ones into the celebration itself!

From a friend DJing the night away to guests building Lego centerpieces at their tables, Alyssa’s wedding vision was about crafting a space where everyone felt involved, valued, and totally at home

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

  • How Alyssa balanced wedding planning with her and her husband’s big goal of buying a home
  • Creative tips to bring your guests into your wedding day experience, in ways that are affordable and uniquely you
  • Why embracing your vibe over aesthetics can bring you a wedding that truly feels like yours
  • The importance of building a “hype team” that uplifts yet keeps you grounded...yeah I know how that sounds - but it will all make sense soon, I promise.

This episode is packed with mindset shifts, practical tips, and stories that’ll have you rethinking what’s possible on any budget. If you’re dreaming of a day that reflects your true vision, you’ll love Alyssa’s story.
