Welcome to the Wedding Mayhem Podcast – it’s a wild one! We kick off with some unexpected “boning” chat – not that kind – but the real struggles brides face when their wedding dress structure gives out mid-celebration. From busty bride dilemmas to secret dress hacks (metal boning from Amazon, anyone?), we’re sharing the unfiltered truth behind the seams. Plus, what do you do when you're pregnant and your dream dress suddenly doesn’t fit? We’ve got tips for that, too.

Joining us is a former wedding planner turned balance coach, here to save your sanity with her fresh batch cooking system – no freezing required! Whether you're juggling wedding planning, motherhood, or just life in general, she shares simple ways to prep meals without spending hours in the kitchen (and yes, we talk about the dangers of rice and raw chicken TikToks). We also dive into real listener dilemmas like whether you can go to two weddings in one day, and the emotional chaos of planning with family drama in the mix.

It’s chaos, it’s real, and it’s laugh-out-loud funny. Packed with wedding tips, relatable rants, and a few near-death stories (bee swarms and poop trails included), this is an episode you do not want to miss.

Welcome to Wedding Mayhem the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the wedding industry. Also available on YouTube as a full studio broadcast.

Hosted by Sharon Underwood, bridal boutique owner with over 25 years in the industry, this is where real weddings are talked about honestly not just the polished version you see online.

From emotional moments to things that don’t quite go to plan, Sharon shares the truth about weddings with humour, experience, and a no-nonsense approach.

Each week, a different wedding supplier joins the show to share their top tips, expert advice, and what couples really need to know when booking for their wedding.

Each episode features candid conversations with wedding professionals from photographers and stylists to celebrants and content creators giving you insider knowledge and the things couples are rarely told.

Because let’s be honest… weddings aren’t always perfect  and that’s where the magic (and the mayhem) happens.

Whether you’re planning your wedding, working in the industry, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, Wedding Mayhem is here to help you feel informed, confident, and a little less overwhelmed.
