Style, Snatch, and Slay

“Each day, my staff and I come to work ready to help our brides focus on their own happiness and embrace their unique beauty,” said Armstrong-Fowler, who said her boutique’s motto is “Style, Snatch and Slay”. “Every person deserves to feel and look phenomenal, especially on their wedding day, and we’re excited to share the journeys of our stunning brides with the world.”

The Perfect Fit will explore the brides as they experience body shaming and will showcase diverse relationships, including both monogamous and polyamorous unions.

“This fun, heartwarming series highlights the importance of self-love and self-worth,” said Suzanne Ross, Head of Development, PeopleTV. “Every episode centers around lifting ourselves and each other up, promoting positivity. This simple, yet crucial act is sometimes forgotten.”
