#8 A Romantic Blush Farm Wedding With Sian & Gavin Clark

The Feel Good Wedding Podcast by Polka Dot Wedding

We all know how planning a wedding can be such a stressful affair. But when the bride is in a wheelchair, that's a whole different level of stress - from choosing and fitting the gown, to finding a wheelchair-accessible wedding venue with adapted restrooms, to needing an expansive dance floor for the wheelchair dance. Throw in the pandemic, and the complexity goes a level higher. But yes, some couples do manage to pull it off. And our guests for this week's episode are one of those couples.

Sian and Gavin's love story is the stuff of dreams. Not only did they get married on Gav's grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary, but they also pulled off a seemingly impossible wedding midway through the pandemic.
In this chat, we discuss:

• How Gavin and Sian first met
• Gavin and Sian's engagement story and how Gavin made the proposal as unique as possible
• How Gavin & Sian decided on the details and vendors for their beautifully romantic wedding day
• Wedding venue accessibility checklist
• Tips on how to find the perfect gown, especially if you're in a wheelchair
• The benefits of asking questions when planning a wedding
• How to successfully host an accessible wedding
• Do's and don'ts for an accessible wedding
