In this episode, Shannon and Emma dive into one of the biggest conversations in bridal right now - the rise of weight-loss injections like Mounjaro and how they’re impacting brides-to-be, body confidence, and the entire dress shopping journey. 💍💬

From the pressure to slim down before the big day to the realities of dress fittings and alterations when your body is changing, the girls unpack it all with honesty and empathy. They explore how the bridal industry can support women through these choices - and why confidence, not clothing size, should always come first. 🤍
