Elopements and Tiny Weddings with Charity Parrish

<p>When we think of weddings we often think about &#8220;the dress.&#8221; But what about all of those other dresses?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m referring to the dresses you&#8217;ll need for the rehearsal dinner, the engagement photos, the bridal shower, the bachelorette party, and maybe even the &#8220;little white dress.&#8221; Of course, you&#8217;ll need a dress for these occasions. And of course, you didn&#8217;t budget for them.</p>
<p>In this episode, I sit down with Bernadette Maulion, owner of Dressed CLT. Bernadette shares tons of wisdom on getting dressed for all the events surrounding your big day, as well as the REAL-DEAL stuff that goes down during wedding planning and how to stay true to what you and your spouse really want.</p>
<p>Bernadette specializes in renting out dresses for all occasions and just launched a referral program for brides. For every three guests that come in, the bride-to-be gets a free dress rental. Think of the Mother-of-the-bride, Mother-in-law, bridesmaids, guests&#8230;the list goes on! As an added bonus, Bernadette tracks what dresses are being rented for what event to be sure that no one will show up wearing the same dress.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
