Music is the language of us all. It is the Great Mood Bringer, the Atmosphere Creator, the Immortal Setter of Tones. It’s what makes us cry at the start of Up, and at the end of Forrest Gump. It gives you the power to bring every guest to their feet, or have them sobbing in the aisle. And when you’re crafting your wedding day ‘experience’, it’s the most powerful tool at your disposal - more than the speeches, styling, and stationery combined.Read more...

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...

Las Vegas has always had a reputation for spontaneous weddings, but for alternative couples, a Vegas wedding offers something more useful: flexibility.

Planning a wedding can be a super stressful time for everyone, but when you have a chronic illness or disability, added stress can also have a huge impact on your physical health. So how do you navigate wedding planning and all the inevitable stresses that it brings while keeping yourself as healthy as possible? Yes, you can take the outlook that most alternative wedding suppliers promote of ‘your day, your way’ and try to make the planning as fun as possible but this only really is the first step when you have a long-term condition.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...

Set against the dark timber of a black barn, Gabrielle and Ross' wedding day featured textured florals, stone-cut signage, and a timeline designed to feel relaxed. They skipped the altar line-up, seating their closest people in the front row instead. They also didn't want to say long vows in front of an audience so those were shared privately earlier in the day. Their main ceremony lasted just five minutes. “It felt incredibly special to share that intimate moment between the two of us alone reminiscing on the six years we’ve spent together", the bride said.Read more...

There’s no one way to be goth. Some of us were raised on fantasy novels and Victorian mourning gowns. Some of us still listen to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge on repeat. Others just feel most themselves in black, with a little lace and a lot of eyeliner.
