Real Brides Podcast E7 DIY TIPS

In this episode of Real Brides, Rosana chats with Jessica and Dave, a fun-loving couple who tied the knot in an intimate December 2019 wedding at the charming Lambertville Station. As a second marriage for both, they approached the day with creativity, intention, and a deep appreciation for their community. With no day-of coordinator included in their package, they relied on the talents of close friends to bring their vision to life—enlisting a duo who handled everything from the florals and décor to a custom, dairy-free cake split to reflect each of their tastes.

Jessica and Dave share the beauty of thinking outside the box, using their creative circles to craft a day that felt deeply personal. From a meaningful officiant to DIY touches and personalized cake flavors, they prove that small weddings can be just as magical (and way more flexible). Their biggest takeaway? Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Tune in for real talk about planning, problem-solving, and making your day truly yours—with a little help from your friends.
