Get Wed: The complete guide to planning a wedding with minimum stress and maximum good vibes

The ultimate handbook for getting hitched with full hearts and zero regrets, from the wedding-planning gurus behind Wedshed.

Weddings, at their heart, are about two people joining their families and communities together in the name of love, good times and the future.


But when couples start planning their big day, they often find themselves contending with waves of unsolicited advice, old-school rhetoric and overwhelming decision fatigue. Enter Get Wed: the wedding-planning bible to help you navigate everything from budgets to venues, traditions to vows, and run sheets to vendors, to plan a wedding that says 'this is us'.


With practical information, thoughtful first-hand experiences and sage advice off the back of thousands of weddings, Get Wed takes the unknown out of wedding planning to ensure your milestone moment is smooth-sailing, perfectly personal and positively brimming with good vibes.

Amy Parfett and Melany McBride are the co-founders of Wedshed, a digital platform helping couples get married in a way that reflects what they're all about, as well as Gravy, a gift-tech company that enables people to give and receive truly meaningful gifts for all occasions - including weddings. Best mates since childhood, it's fair to say that the duo understand weddings back to front, having sat on both the bride and business sides of the proverbial fence. Both women organised very DIY weddings (with plenty of lessons learnt - and shared), have launched venues from scratch, and have consulted with wedding businesses for the best part of a decade. Together with a small team of wed and tech-loving people, they've built a platform reaching hundreds of thousands of people every year. Their goal is to encourage people to rethink everything they know about weddings in favour of creating a day that authentically says "this is us".
