Sharon and Holly from Blank Canvas spill on everything hitting the bridal runways for next season and the hilarious realities that come with wearing them. Expect laughs, chaos, and some very honest “auntie” advice about what really happens when you don’t get that bustle loop right.We’re talking crumb-catcher necklines (yes, that’s a thing), Victorian-inspired fabrics, and why brides need to stop kicking their trains. Plus, Sharon relives some truly wild boutique stories from thongs doubling as bustle loops to below-deck yacht antics and Bacardi-fuelled dress disasters.If you’re a bride-to-be, a stylist, or just love the drama of a good wedding story, this is your go-to guide to all things bold, boned, and beautifully unhinged in the world of 2026 bridal fashion. Grab a cocktail (maybe not a Bacardi), hit play, and join the mayhem.ContactsHolly Greenwood:Website: https://www.blankcanvasweddings.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blankcanvasweddings/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blankcanvasweddings/Support the showWelcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry.
