Wedding expert Nora Culley Tuck returns to Bridechilla to help bust one of the biggest myths in modern weddings: the idea that a “day-of coordinator” is all you need. We break down what planners, coordinators, and event managers really do—and how understanding the difference can save you major stress (and money). We also dive into one of the most emotional parts of wedding planning: handling parental pressure—especially from well-meaning but opinionated moms—and how to set boundaries without blowing up relationships. Plus, Nora shares what guests actually remember most about your wedding (hint: it's not the napkin fold), the surprising ways tariffs and inflation are impacting the industry, and how a multi-day wedding can help you slow down, connect, and enjoy the moment. Whether you're planning a blowout bash or something small and personal, this episode is packed with clarity, hot takes, and permission to do things your way—without losing your mind, your budget, or your relationships in the process.
