Claudia Sulewski is diving into wedding prep with signature chill vibes and a clear game plan. The YouTuber and fiancé Finneas O’Connell-who proposed in September-are now mapping out everything from custom gowns to venue scouting.
Dress Quest Begins
Sulewski and stylist Thomas have already compiled a hit-list of brands for possible custom looks. Before committing, she wants showroom visits to test silhouettes in person.
> “I think I know what silhouette I want for the main dress, but I might be proven otherwise.”
A blurred clip shows her first bridal appointment, ending with on-screen text: she “loved” the initial gown she tried.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
The couple Zoom-interviewed multiple planners before choosing one. Formal venue hunting kicks off in early January.
Sulewski insists she won’t morph into a “bridezilla”:
- She’s sketched seating charts and floral inspo
- She’s built PDF mood boards
- She’s staying flexible on dates and scheduling
> “This is just going to be fun and filled with love. It’s been really exciting to plan so far.”
Surprise Input
O’Connell has stepped up with more opinions than either expected:
> “I want him to feel ownership of this special day for us.”
Key Takeaways

- O’Connell’s active role keeps planning balanced
- Custom dress, venue, and vibe all prioritize fun and love over stress
With planners locked in and dress ideas swirling, the pair’s low-key approach promises a celebration that feels authentically them.
