Bride Round Table

After you've heard from the pros, we wrap-up each module with a vibrant round table discussion with four of our recent brides on the topics of that module. They share what they did for their wedding, the wins they had and the things they would do differently. We also share scenes from their Memory Films so you can see how their planning played out in action.



Inside The Modules

see below for an in-depth look at each Module.


Bride Boss Resources


To make sure you keep a record of everything you're learning and make sure your decisions are really "shareable" we've created downloadable worksheets for each module so you can keep all your planning in one easy place.

The Wider Tribe

To help you stay on track and enjoy the whole wedding planning process, you will also have access to:

  • The Members Only Facebook Group where you can meet other brides share tips and stories and chat to The Story of Us team for further advice.
  • Monthly Live Q&A events with The Story of Us team and industry contributors answering your most pressing Bridal queries and helping with your course content.


Most Importantly...it's fun!


Planning your wedding does not need to be stressful and you don't have to do it alone! The whole idea behind this course was to create something to help you enjoy the wedding planning process, take the stress out of it and introduce you to other brides going through the same thing. This course is creative, friendly and resourceful, not serious, overwhelming or a tonne of "work".


Value for Money

A professional planner can be an expense some couples just can't justify. This course provides you with the experience and expertise of a seasoned pro while putting you in the drivers seat. It's also really satisfying to plan your own day. You get out what you put in!
