In this episode your Aisle-conic Podcast hosts are chatting about how bridal trends translate to sales and what designers need to consider when balancing creativity, trends and what actually sells.

What do you think buyers are thinking about when they go to the shows/watch the runways?  How can designers appeal to buyers but still stay true to their design vision?

In this episode we’re welcoming a very special guest on to The Aisle-conic Podcast in the form of the iconic Peta Hunt. Formerly the Editor At Large at You & Your Wedding Magazine and now a freelance Stylist and Consultant specialising in bridal, we’re chatting to Peta about everything from how she got into the bridal industry (trust us, there’s some excellent stories in there) to what makes a brand exciting in today’s market and the best ways to get the attention of a member of the press such as herself. Press play on Part 1…   The questions we’ve asked this episode…   What stood out for you this 2024 at the shows?    Which new designer is currently inspiring you, and why?    What do you see as bridal fashion’s next direction or trend?    What makes a new designer/brand exciting in today’s market?    How can a brand stand out from the crowd today?    We want to hear from you!   Don't forget! We want you to submit your own business questions for us to discuss on the podcast. Head to The Aisle-conic Podcast's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theaisleconicpodcast/ and DM us!
