The New Rules of Wedding Dressing with By Rotation Founder | Eshita Kabra-Davies
Here Comes the BrideShow Notes
Eshita Kabra-Davies knows a thing or two about wedding fashion. As the founder of By Rotation, the peer-to-peer fashion rental platform with more than 600,000 members, she’s seen first-hand how the way we dress for weddings is changing.
This week, Eshita joins Georgie to talk about what brides and wedding guests are wearing now, from renting designer wedding dresses and finding one-of-a-kind vintage pieces to the rise of multiple bridal looks. They get into what’s actually worth buying, what makes more sense to rent and whether you really need a new outfit for every wedding.
They also discuss Eshita’s own multicultural wedding, blending Indian and British traditions, what guests should know before attending an Indian wedding, the colours to avoid and why bringing two cultures together made the celebrations so special. Plus, Eshita shares the £1,000 wedding purchase she regrets, the one thing she thinks is worth spending money on, her wedding guest fashion rules and why your wedding doesn’t need to be the best day of your life.

Jemma Palmer is the founder of Halo and Wren, the Hemel Hempstead boutique that has become one of the most loved bridal destinations in Britain, and of Sunday's Bride, the intimate Chelsea concept she opened this year. But before she spent almost a decade changing how brides shop for their dress, she was a bride herself, and her own dress search taught her a lesson the hard way.
Nikki Tibbles knows what makes wedding flowers unforgettable, and where couples can easily get them wrong. As the founder of Wild at Heart, Nikki has spent more than 30 years at the forefront of luxury wedding floristry, creating spectacular wedding flowers and floral installations for celebrations in Britain and around the world.
Georgia Haldenby has spent a decade planning extraordinary weddings, from luxury celebrations across Europe to Grace Beverley’s wedding in the South of France. But after years of organising other people’s big days, she found herself on the other side of the aisle, planning her own wedding at the very hotel where her career began.
Kash Sonola, Gigi & Olive’s Social Media Manager, knows more than most about the reality of wedding planning. After planning three very different celebrations, from an intimate London ceremony to a Nigerian wedding and a destination wedding in Portugal, she learnt first-hand what nobody tells you before you start. This week, Kash joins Georgie to talk about the highs, surprises and lessons that came with planning three weddings. They get into wedding budgets and the costs you don’t always see coming, choosing the right suppliers, navigating family and cultural traditions, and what she would do differently knowing what she knows now. They also discuss how TikTok and social media are changing the way we plan weddings, whether wedding content creators are actually worth it, the reality of destination weddings and how to avoid getting swept up in everything you think your wedding should include. Plus, Kash shares her biggest wedding planning advice, the decisions she’d make differently and a few wedding hot takes that might divide opinion.
