What if the wedding industry truly celebrated all bodies and all love stories?
In this episode of Filtered Thru Coffee Podcast, we sit down with media mogul Shafonne Myers, founder of Pretty Pear Bride and CEO of Aisle Society, to dive into the real-talk realities of being a plus-size bride—and how to be a changemaker in the wedding industry. From advocating for inclusivity in bridal boutiques to reshaping bridal culture, Shafonne shares her journey of shifting the narrative and building spaces where every bride feels seen, celebrated, and styled to perfection.
We’re talking about more than just dress sizes—we’re unpacking representation, body image, and the power of visibility for Black and Brown brides. Rev. Whitney-Marie, Tiara, and Shafonne explore what it means to create affirming bridal experiences, how language and imagery shape perception, and why it’s time the industry steps up with intentionality and heart. Plus, we’re getting into branding, authenticity, and how being the face of your business can transform not only your reach, but your impact.
Whether you’re planning your big day or just here for the vibes, you don’t want to miss this.
