Episode 14: Rule Breakers Series: Rewriting the Wedding Playbook with Kate Faoro Wright
In this episode of our Rule Breakers series, we sit down with Kate Faoro Wright of Tapestry Events—a wedding planner who's flipping the script on tradition. Instead of leading with over-the-top design or trends, Kate is boldly couple-forward—crafting celebrations rooted in the people, not just the Pinterest boards. We explore how she challenges industry norms, redefines success, and builds weddings that actually feel like the people getting married. If you're curious what it looks like to design with meaning over metrics, this one's for you.
If you resonated with Kate's method, be sure to grab her DIY Planning tools:
