Alternative brides customise everything. Dresses. Accessories. Playlists. Ceremonies that make your nan raise an eyebrow. But one detail often gets forgotten, even though it hits harder than any piece of jewellery: scent. The right women's perfume doesn’t just smell good. It becomes part of your day and brings you right back to it when you smell it again afterwards.Read more...

Maximalism is finally having its moment in weddings, and nowhere is this more apparent than with flowers. Couples aren’t interested in shrinking themselves into tradition anymore. They want colour, attitude, drama and a bit of glorious chaos. Florals are the fastest way to take a blank space and turn it into something loud, expressive and unmistakably you. And with online flowers services making big ideas easier than ever to pull off, maximalist wedding florals have officially gone from “maybe one day” to “add to basket”.Read more...

Wedding planning messes with your brain. Even if you’re the most laid-back human alive, your subconscious will still find ways to throw curveballs at 3am. Don’t panic: pre-wedding dreams aren’t omens, they’re just your nervous system running dress rehearsals for all the big stuff - love, money, family, visibility, identity. Basically, your brain is binge-screening your anxieties like it’s Netflix.Read more...

So there I was, three weeks post-wedding, still riding the high of having successfully pulled off a day that felt authentically us - no boring traditions, no beige anything, and definitely no chicken-or-fish dinner choices. I'm scrolling through our photographer's gorgeous gallery when this nagging feeling hits me.Read more...

Men’s jewellery has always been around, but right now it’s having a moment. Grooms, groomsmen, and guests are reclaiming men’s necklaces as a way to bring personality into their outfits. And unlike a hired suit, the right necklace stays with you long after the wedding’s over. Whether you’re standing at the altar, smashing it at work, or heading to a gig on Saturday night, a chain or pendant can a real signature piece.Read more...

Tucked in a shoebox somewhere is a concert ticket from a band you forgot you loved. It’s creased, a little torn at the corner and the ink’s fading. You haven’t looked at it in years, but somehow, you’ve never thrown it away.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...

By now, you’ve probably seen those viral “wedding recap” reels on TikTok or Instagram – the ones that somehow appear just hours after the ceremony. The ones that make you go: Wait, how did they already post that?! Well, there’s a good chance a wedding content creator was behind it. A wedding content creator is a service provider who creates primarily video content on their phones. The idea is you have a skilled person who is capturing all of the moments of a wedding, candidly. That is also the person, a couple would put in charge of recreating any trending videos or transitions, lip syncs, etc. They often provide clips in a quick turn around, so the couple can share their wedding “in real time” or within a the few days after, on their social media. Some wedding content creators even offer a wedding day takeover, so they really are posting the wedding day in real time. We spoke to Falon Mei of Vegas Wedding Content Creator all about this rising, and sometimes controversial, new trend.Read more...

Weddings bring out a ton of emotions. Not just for the couple getting married, but for everyone around them - friends, family, co-workers, and that one aunt who’s convinced it’s her job to make sure things are “done properly.”Read more...

If your wedding speech sounds like it was written by ChatGPT on a caffeine crash, you’re doing it wrong. This isn’t the time for safe, sweet, and forgettable. It’s your one chance to light up the room, speak from your heart, and maybe even make your grandmother blush a little. If you’re going to speak at your wedding (and I think you absolutely should), now’s your time to just f**king say it. Here are five controversial (but genius) techniques from speech coach Susie Ashfield on how to ditch the fluff and deliver a wedding speech people will actually remember.Read more...

I recently stumbled upon a charming little book called Don’ts for Wives, written by Blanche Ebbutt and published in 1913. This tiny tome is packed with advice on the secrets and pitfalls of being the perfect wife. With sections devoted to the essential aspects of a relationship, it reminded me that at its core, marriage still comes down to some simple truths about love, partnership and patience. I thought it would be fun to look at what was at the centre of a perfect marriage over a century ago, and see how it compares to 2025.Read more...

These are dark times for the wedding world. Dark, dark times. If this were a Disney film, the mice would be in shackles, and there’d be a rooster crooning, “But not in Nottingham” from the corner of a stony cell. An idea has been growing slowly beneath our feet, in our peripheral, in the corners of our mind. A new-age abhorrence that has me scratching my weary dinosaur head with my little dinosaur claw. And with its arrival, we hit rock-bottom in our descent into a lake of vapidity. It is, without hyperbole, the final downfall of romance. I bring you: wedding content.Read more...
