Is this the end of the "Vogue" wedding flex?
Vogue dropped the news that wedding vendors can no longer post their images with the photoshopped “Vogue” logo across the top—and the internet had thoughts. Is it even worth submitting to publications anymore? We get into that, plus why racist vendors need to exit the industry, the rise of bridal influencers sharing “wedding hacks” that don’t actually work, and plenty more along the way.—TVT MERCH NOW AVAILABLE!https://www.thevendortable.com/store/—Check out our WEBSITE: www.thevendortable.comInstagram //TikTok // YouTube //Facebook Group // Discord—Want to up your SEO Game?

#145: Was there really a Wedding at the Super Bowl?!?
We dive into the viral Super Bowl wedding and the growing spectacle of modern weddings—why the world is watching, and what happens when deeply personal moments become public. From surprise City Hall ceremonies to the quiet, emotional weight behind the photos we capture, this conversation explores what weddings are really about and why this work carries more responsibility than people realize. Our ADHD was fully activated too, which led to detours into favorite wedding day snacks, elite candy debates, and why agenda books need to make a comeback. It’s chaotic, honest, and a reminder that weddings are about so much more than what’s in the spotlight.—TVT MERCH NOW AVAILABLE!https://www.thevendortable.com/store/—Check out our WEBSITE: www.thevendortable.comInstagram //TikTok // YouTube //Facebook Group // Discord—Want to up your SEO Game?

One of our most chaotic episodes ever. We loved having the icon, the legend, the queen herself — Susan Stripling — in the studio.

We loved having her on the show to chat about her story, the wedding industry and where she sees it going, as well as Heated Rivalry.
