When it comes to a wedding or a new marriage, the merging of families can prove to be a turbulent time. Making sure both sets of families are comfortable with the changes and expectations of the day can be challenging, and finding the confidence to speak up for yourself, your opinions and your needs can be very difficult.Read more...

For every wedding tradition, there’s a weird social expectation attached to it. Some of them are relatively harmless. Some are loaded with pressure, gender roles, family politics or just straight-up capitalism. And yet couples are still made to feel like they have to do it all, whether it makes sense for them or not.Read more...

Jenny and Ryan didn’t want a wedding that felt like it could be someone else's. They wanted one that felt like home. So, they got married in theirs. Having the day in a place where their life together already existed meant they were automatically surrounded by the things that mattered to them. Their backyard became the reception space, filled with their own furniture and handmade details. “The inspiration was items from our own home and the life we had already built together,” Jenny said. “It was colourful but sentimental and romantic.”Read more...

More often than not, weddings are much more than a quiet evening event with a little dinner and music. They’re an all-day, outright celebration of lives intertwining – and music is the symphony that elevates every moment. So what better way to mark the occasion than to creatively compose the soundtrack for your entire day – just as if you were soundtracking the movie of your life. Here’s an outline of what your day could look like. Use it as inspiration to create a day that feels authentically you!Read more...

It may have been a Vegas wedding, but every detail Lindsay and Paul’s wedding was steeped in New Orleans flair. On the surface, it was a maximalist, coquette-inflected fever dream of bows, blooms, and cherubs. Underneath, it was a deeply personal and intentionally built story of love and transformation - starting with the groom himself, a former Catholic priest.Read more...

The colour palette from Victoria and Melvin's wedding was lifted straight from a vintage Valentine’s card: bold reds, sugary pinks, hearts and kitsch.

Jodie and Billy’s wedding wasn’t their first. Back in 2011, before same-sex marriage was legal in Australia, they held a commitment ceremony. They tried to make it traditional, but later realised most of it hadn’t felt right. After eight years apart to figure out who they both were, they reconnected and wanted to marry again - this time with the same rights as straight couples. They were also really clear on what they did and did not want from a wedding.Read more...

I thought putting on 'the' dress would be a magical moment. The moment all the rom-coms promised. My mum crying and all the “Oh, you’re such a beautiful bride” comments. But when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t feel like one at all. I just felt like me. In a slightly ill-fitting big white dress. I guess it was 'the one', I didn't hate it... but wasn't I supposed to feel something else?Read more...

Every detail is open for critique, whether it’s the dress silhouette, the centrepieces, or the way someone walks down the aisle.

There was a moment, not too long ago, when it felt like the bridal industry might finally be waking up. In 2020, the push for inclusivity hit a much-needed tipping point. The Black Lives Matter movement forced many of us to acknowledge what had long been true: representation in bridal - especially for Black, mixed and non-white couples - was sorely lacking. Around the same time, body diversity started to gain traction too. Brands began hiring larger models, offering extended sample sizes, and showing dresses on more than just one very specific body type.Read more...

They also didn't want to say long vows in front of an audience so those were shared privately earlier in the day.
