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...

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...

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. You can build a day that looks however you want it to. Wear what you like. Invite who you want. Keep it small. Go all out. Skip the traditions or invent your own. Vegas can take it.Read more...

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...

Flowers have long symbolised love, beauty, and new beginnings, so it’s no wonder they are synonymous with weddings.

Let’s be real. Most “budget wedding” advice you find online isn’t really budget advice. It’s “my aunt is a florist” advice. It’s “my best friend is a graphic designer and gifted us our invites” advice. It’s “we got married on my parents’ estate” advice. But what if you don’t have any of that?Read more...
