Unveiled Wisdom: Wedding Planning for the Mid-Life Bride

Helpful, fun and like chatting with a good friend, Unveiled Wisdom shows us how to overcome the challenges of getting married in mid-life. This is the perfect handbook for any woman who’s ever felt lost in a youth dominated wedding market.

At age 53 Lisa Joiner, newly engaged and “pinch me” happy, began planning her mid-life wedding and quickly found the process eye-opening and unnerving. A lot had changed since she had last been a bride but one thing was certain the wedding industry remained forever focused on the young bride. The cookie cutter attitude and plans aimed at the twenty-something bride don’t work for the mid-life bride and groom. Finding oneself smack in the middle of life, we (like it or not) recognize our bodies, life experience, family scenarios and personal achievements create a very different criteria for planning a wedding.

This mid-life experience inspired a new passion in Lisa; championing these overlooked and underserved brides. Unveiled Wisdom was born; offering mid-life brides realistic, actionable guidance, and no-nonsense “been there” support using super-practical tools and tips to plan and create their dream wedding and beyond. The book also addresses the complexities of combining finances, working through family conundrums, integrating households and shopping for the elusive “age appropriate” and absolutely gorgeous bridal gown.

The process can take its toll on even the most confident of women chipping away at their bridal joy. Unveiled Wisdom bolsters up the mid-life bride with insights, shareable stories, and no-nonsense guidance. Chronicling the wedding planning journey from engagement all the way to the altar and beyond to the first year of marriage, it inspires brides to own their inner bride and create the wedding of their dreams with unabashed love.
