Canadian fine jewellery brand bluboho has made ethically sourced sapphires a hallmark of their engagement ring designs, many of which are one-of-a-kind. On this show Alison chats with bluboho founder Maggie Aurocco about the brand she founded 16 years ago and why creating modern heirloom pieces has always been a top priority. "From day one the focus of bluboho has always been on stunning design that are not just beautiful but heirloom quality," Maggie says. On this show Maggie shares what inspires her and her creative team, why the Montana sapphires used in bluboho's engagement ring designs are so magical, she takes us on a journey to St. Kitts which is the inspiration for a three-part collaboration of highly collectible pieces. The bluboho X St. Kitts 'safe travels, wild heart' collection includes eight bespoke engagement rings, plus a stunning lineup of charms inspired by the Caribbean island—there will be a third chapter launching in the autumn of 2026.

Wedding magazines are a particular love for us here at Aisle Seat—host Alison McGill was the Editor-in-Chief of celebrated Canadian-based publication Weddingbells for many years. On this show, we get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a beautiful new wedding-focused title, G&G Weddings, produced by the creative minds behind the award-winning publication Garden & Gun Magazine. Executive Editor Amanda Heckert chats with Alison about the inspiration behind G&G Weddings, an idea which had been percolating with the magazine's editorial team for some time and was born as a result of the popularity of the G&G's online wedding content. Amanda and Alison chat about the joy wedding media brings to readers, the process of having a real wedding covered by the publication, what's trending in weddings for the year ahead and when you can expect the next drop of G&G Weddings—the inaugural issue was such huge hit the editors are already working on a second one.

As this year draws to a close, we're looking ahead to what to expect for 2026 in the world of weddings and this chat with Canadian-based luxury event planner Alexandria Damouni from OMG Events will get you inspired about the ins and outs of stylish celebrations. For Damouni and her clients, it's not about what's cool for colour palette choices or viral florals, it's about being intentional in your day. "Experience is trending, and emotion is trending," Damouni shares with host Alison. On this episode we'll talk about the evolution of the wedding guest experience, why weddings need to reclaim their emotional impact and resonance and how couples are redefining what luxury means for their big day.
