Bestie & The Boss
This is the place where bridal meets banter, business, and a whole lot of fun, with no room for fluff.
Join hosts Shannon Martin – entrepreneur, owner of Dotty Bridal, and former Apprentice star – and Emma Pollard, the lively hostess and comedy queen who brings the laughs. Emma’s often the first face brides see at Dotty Bridal (also often in the starring role on Instagram posts). Her infectious humour (and flair for drama!) make her the heart of the boutique.
Together, Shannon and Emma serve up a weekly dose of bridal gossip, no-nonsense advice, and plenty of cheeky stories. Whether you’re navigating wedding planning or just here for the giggles, they’ve got you covered with real talk, relatable tips, and a touch of sass.
It’s the perfect blend of bridal insights and best mate banter – with Emma’s comedic flair and Shannon’s straight-talking business sense, you'll be laughing and learning all the way to the aisle (you may have already had a sneak preview 'chuckle' from of our regular Instagram posts!)
Tune in each week for your backstage pass into the bridal world with your favourite bridal besties.
