his week on Wedding Mayhem, chaos meets creativity as Sharon welcomes Caroline Arthur, bespoke bridal designer, author, and the woman teaching brides everywhere how to re-love their wedding dresses. From royal weddings to Don’t Tell the Bride, Caroline’s seen it all — the fashion flops, the fabric fixes, and the emotional meltdowns. Together, they dive into stories of seven-inch heels gone wrong, lessons from celebrity fittings, and the surprising art of turning your old gown into lingerie, handbags, and even Christmas baubles.

In this wonderfully hands-on episode, Sharon and Caroline pick up the paintbrushes (and a cocktail or two) to experiment with fabric painting — proving that you don’t need to be a designer to give your dress a second life. Between laughter, dye disasters, and DIY triumphs, they uncover just how personal, sustainable, and empowering reusing your wedding dress can be.

Whether you’re planning your dream gown, wondering what to do with it after “I do,” or just love a good wedding story gone sideways, this episode is packed with inspiration, humour, and heart. It’s all about creativity, connection, and the beautiful mayhem that makes every wedding truly unforgettable.
