Charlotte Stavrou, award-winning entrepreneur and founder and CEO of talent management and marketing firm SevenSix Agency, married now husband Emilio one sun-drenched weekend in Puglia after a chic Marylebone Town Hall ceremony earlier the same month. Imagine a VIP-only festival with a side of 'I do'. There was disco before dinner, the groom and father of the bride both brought the house down with DJ sets and the band were so good the bride took to the dance floor long before the official first dance.

From a first date on King's Road to a flower-laden wedding at Kin House, personal trainer, best selling author, podcast host and influencer Alice Liveing joins Words On A Wedding host Annie Vischer to talk modern day meet cutes and wedding planning. A gloriously low key proposal led to a Chelsea Town Hall wedding in May and an upgraded stay at Claridges. And then there's the main event - a Wiltshire weekend, a bespoke gown and a surprise first dance that kicked off one heck of a party. Carriages at midnight? Make it 6AM.

Renowned designer Savannah Miller sits down with host Annie Vischer to discuss her fairytale of a winter wedding, covering everything from the proposal and the dress (how does one of the biggest names in bridalwear set about designing her own wedding look?), to a beautifully poignant moment during the ceremony and a gilded make-up transformation pre-party. Savannah gets granular about her eponymous bridalwear label too. Since launching in 2016, Savannah's collections have opened up a whole new world for the modern bride and now repeatedly set the bar for timeless, elegant designs that not only set social media alight, but inspire brides the world over. Savannah explains what led her to the industry in the first place and what it takes to create an icon like the Danielle.

This week Words On A Wedding welcomes The Wedding Edition founders and editors Kendrah Leaver-Rylah and Isabella Foulger to discuss the biggest wedding trends of the year so far. From 'it' weddings to convention-defying style advice and the seemingly limitless scope for personalisation, these industry experts lay down their predictions for what's going to be big next year and beyond. And, of course, they take a moment to reminisce about their own weddings. An unmissable episode for nearly-weds in the process of planning their own big day. Notepads at the ready.
Eshita Kabra-Davies, CEO and founder of By Rotation, the UK's first fashion rental app, joins host Annie Vischer to discuss her Hedsor House wedding. From getting ready in one of the largest bridal suites in Europe, to wearing a celestial design by Guarav Gupta (who designed three headline-making looks for Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour) for her bridal sangeet, everything about Eshita's big weekend was not only show-stopping, but curated to perfection - and in less than six months. Eshita covers everything from the mehndi to the wedding itself and gives her inside take on the growing scope for rented fashion in the wedding space.

Sophie Habboo takes host Annie Vischer behind the scenes of both her intimate Chelsea Town Hall wedding (there was a Vivienne Westwood mini, a low-key reception and a blow-dry that defied gravity) and the lavish Sotogrande affair at Villa Las Sirenas, where 200 guests gathered to watch Sophie and now-husband Jamie Laing exchange vows in the Neptune Garden. The pair met while filming hit E4 reality TV show Made In Chelsea back in 2017 and after millions followed their relationship on-screen and hit 'like' on their engagement announcement in 2021, the hype around this wedding was huge.

In a change to the podcast's usual format, host Annie Vischer is joined by historian and author Gareth Russell to discuss one of history's most notable weddings - the marriage of Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon at Westminster Abbey in 1923. The romance of it all reads like a novel, from the pair's first meeting as children to the three - yes, three - proposals that eventually lead to a royal engagement. Find out what makes this wedding such a game changer in the royal wedding arena and how a brush with the Daily Mail almost spells disaster for the big day itself.
Do Let's Have Another Drink, the Singular With and Double Measures of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother by Gareth Russell is available to buy now.
