We love a deep dive convo with a global trend authority, so this week's chat with Etsy's Dayna Isom Johnson—a returning guest of Aisle Seat—is a particular treat. Dayna always has her finger on the pulse of what's cool, and on this show she takes us through the just dropped Etsy Spring + Summer Trend Report and how it speaks to what's happening in weddings. "Couples are really leaning into what they love and having everything at one of the most special days of their lives being a representation of their own style," Dayna says. Wedding inspiration is coming from multiple time periods. Two of her favourite, wedding-centric trends from the report are "Gothic Romance" and the "Botanical Bride." On this episode, Alison and Dayna catch up and talk all about love, modern weddings, the vintage moments couples are embracing for their celebrations, the rise of the analogue culture, and why social media should never ever be the driver or a decision-maker for your wedding day.

Wolfville Wedding Chapel is a first in Atlantic Canada, offering couples a beautiful one-stop-shop experience to tie the knot in style. Owner Sarah Anderson opened the chapel in the charming downtown area of Wolfville, Nova Scotia, in 2021. Since then, more than 420 couples who have dropped in to say 'I do' from across Canada, as well a few international destinations. "I am really big on keeping things small and beautiful at the chapel, but no less celebratory than a larger wedding," Sarah shares on the show. "I am a big believer that small doesn't have to mean lesser than." On this show, host Alison and Sarah chat about what getting married at Wolfville Wedding Chapel looks like, why couples today are choosing to lean into intimate celebrations, and why a fabulous wedding brimming with beautiful details and heart doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag.
