Aesha Scott Delays Wedding Dress Shopping Until 2 Months Before Her Big Day

Reality TV star Aesha Scott from Below Deck Mediterranean has shared her unconventional approach to wedding dress shopping. Despite having nearly a year until her wedding to fiancé Scott “Scotty” Dobson in March 2026, Aesha revealed in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that she initially planned to wait until the “last minute” to pick out her dress.

The couple, who announced their engagement in May 2024, have been together for five years and are gearing up for their upcoming nuptials in New Zealand. Aesha admitted that with everything going on, she hadn’t delved deep into wedding planning and described herself as a “last-minute, everything comes alive kind of girl”.

Originally intending to browse for dresses in January 2026, Aesha was advised by her married friends that waiting until just two months before the wedding might not be ideal due to potential delays in dress alterations. Realizing the practicality of her friends’ advice, Aesha decided to compromise and move her bridal appointment to early November.

Expressing her desire for a timeless and classic look, Aesha shared her vision for the dress, describing it as an elegant, simple tube dress with a fitted waist and slight flare at the skirt. Emphasizing the importance of choosing a style that will stand the test of time, she highlighted the significance of a dress that exudes elegance and timelessness.

While still finalizing wedding details, Aesha and Scott have already settled on the drink that will feature prominently at their celebrations. Aesha, who recently collaborated with Canada Dry, revealed that the Canada Dry Fruit Splash Cherry Ginger Ale will be a key component in their signature cocktail named “The Chief Stew,” an easy-to-make martini perfect for their wedding weekend.

Reflecting on the partnership, Aesha praised Canada Dry’s focus on comfort and luxury, aligning with her own penchant for coziness. She expressed her desire to create a special experience for her guests by featuring the signature cocktail, allowing those at home to partake in the celebration.

As the wedding date approaches, Aesha’s fans eagerly await updates on her dress selection and other wedding preparations. Stay tuned for more details on Aesha Scott’s journey to finding the perfect wedding dress and creating unforgettable memories on her special day.
