  • Episode 21 - Destination Weddings: What No One Tells You Before Getting Married Abroad
    Jan 29 2026

    In this week’s episode of Aisle Be There, we dive into destination weddings and talk about why they are no longer just a passing trend but a huge part of modern weddings. We get into what makes them so appealing, why couples love the idea of turning their wedding into a full experience, and why they are definitely here to stay.

    We also talk honestly about the question everyone thinks but no one always wants to say out loud. Are destination weddings selfish? We explore where that feeling comes from, how to make sure your guests feel valued, and why being respectful of the time, effort, and money people are putting in to celebrate with you is so important.

    Planning a wedding abroad comes with a completely different level of logistics. Different time zones, unfamiliar suppliers, travel plans, weather risks, and guest welfare all become part of the job. We chat about why destination weddings can be incredibly stressful without the right support, and why having someone to help you manage the details is essential.

    We also discuss the reality of guest lists, why dropouts are normal, whether destination weddings are actually cheaper, and how your energy as a couple sets the tone for the entire trip.

    If you are dreaming of getting married abroad or just curious about what destination weddings are really like behind the scenes, this episode is a must listen.

  • Episode 20 - Choosing Entertainment Your Guests (and you) Will Love
    Jan 22 2026

    In this week’s episode of Aisle Be There, we get into what wedding entertainment actually does for your day and why choosing the right options can completely change the guest experience. We talk honestly about the difference between entertainment that looks good and entertainment that people genuinely enjoy and why your guests should always be part of the decision.

    Photobooths come up as a favourite for a reason. They get people up talking and laughing, give non dancers something fun to do and leave you with photos you will still be finding on your fridge months later. We also chat about how they double up perfectly as guestbook moments and why couples almost always say they were worth every penny.

    We also explore other ways to keep the energy going from fortune tellers and tarot readers to interactive food experiences like pizza stalls, street food, dessert stations and more. These are the little moments that stop guests sitting around waiting for the next thing to happen and instead keep them moving, mingling and enjoying the day.

    If you want your wedding to feel fun, relaxed and memorable this episode is a must listen.

  • Episode 19 - [Guest Episode] Behind the Decor: Luxury Styling Beyond the Trends with Shagun Weddings
    Jan 15 2026

    In this week’s guest episode of Aisle Be There, we sit down with Roshni, founder and director of Shagun Weddings, to talk all things luxury wedding styling, evolving trends, and what really matters when designing a wedding that feels timeless and personal.

    Roshni shares how Shagun Weddings began, including the family roots behind the business and the moment her mum first suggested starting a decor company. We talk about what it takes to run a truly well oiled machine in the wedding industry, how closely their team works together, and why listening to couples is at the heart of everything they do.

    We dive into how the wedding market has changed over the years, why the word trend can feel triggering, and how couples can find inspiration without feeling pressured to keep up with everyone else. From screenshotting ideas on Instagram to building a clear vision, Roshni gives honest advice on how to translate inspiration into something that actually works for your space, budget, and guest experience.

    We also discuss the realities of wedding styling, including reusing decor, managing fresh flowers in the heat, flagging risks early, and being flexible when things do not go exactly to plan. Roshni shares why honest feedback matters, even when it means saying no to ideas that will not work, and how the suppliers you choose can truly make or break your day.

    This episode is packed with insight for couples who want beautiful weddings without unnecessary pressure, as well as suppliers looking to understand their niche, stay adaptable, and build trust in a changing industry.
