Planning a wedding that truly reflects you both can feel overwhelming at times, right? With so many options, it's tough to know where to start, what works and what doesn't.

But what I’d love to encourage you to do is to forget about fleeting “trends” – because I want to explore some ideas that are genuinely creating magical moments in 2025 weddings. And I’ll also shed light on some outdated approaches that couples are happily leaving behind. 

And when I say wedding trends, I’m not here to dictate the hottest colours or push you towards budget-busting extravagances that don't resonate with you.

Instead, I want to share the thoughtful choices couples are making in 2025 that genuinely enhance their wedding experience. And some of them might not be new, as such, but they are definitely gaining in popularity.

Today, I’m diving into ideas that are working right now to maximise your precious time, create unforgettable moments, and minimise any post-wedding regret.

From reimagining traditional timelines to incorporating technology that brings far-flung loved ones closer, we'll see how couples are creating little pockets inside their weddings that feel authentically 'them.'

I’ll also look at ways people are reducing stress, amping up their guests’ experience, and refining the elements of their day (or days) by serving a purpose that means something to them.
