Summary

Planning your wedding day timeline doesn’t have to be overwhelming—promise! This week, Leah is joined in-studio by Gina Jokilehto of Shi Shi Events, a seasoned planner with 20 years of experience helping couples create smooth, stress-free wedding days. We dig into how to build a timeline that actually works (yes, including how long hair and makeup really take), how to avoid common scheduling pitfalls, and what couples often forget to factor in. Gina also shares her approach to blending timeless traditions with modern trends, and why setting boundaries with family, friends, and vendors is key to protecting your peace. Whether you’re planning an all-day party or a cozy celebration, this episode is full of real-talk tips to help you feel confident, in control, and totally chilla on your big day.
