Imagine finding an ethical, artisan-made wedding dress and having it made to your exact measurements – for less than £1,000. We’re so often led to believe that we have to spend thousands for a designer dress, and even more for one that’s ethically made and sustainable, but a little detective work in the right places can uncover the most incredible modern wedding dresses.
Guess what? I have something wonderful to show you.

There’s something undeniably magical about a winter wedding, the crisp air, frosted landscapes and that quiet sense of romance that seems to hang in the stillness of the season. If you’re dreaming of a winter celebration that feels both elegant and ethereal a baby blue wedding theme might be your perfect match. Soft, serene and effortlessly romantic, this delicate hue captures the essence of winter skies and icy elegance — while bringing a touch of “something blue” to your day.
I loved reading Hitched’s wedding trends prediction for 2026, which landed in my inbox this morning. Taking inspiration from Bridgerton, a rise in stately home celebrations and a search for innovative, alternative wedding cakes, 2026 weddings are going to be so exciting! There’s one trend I’m waaaayyy out of sync with – and one conspicuously missing from the list! – but the rest of Zoe’s predictions are utterly fabulous. (I’ll leave the one I think is suspect until last!)
The latest Wedding Trends Report from leading wedding planning website Hitched reveals that weddings in 2026 are going to be more intentional and expressive than ever, full of meaningful experiences and some incredibly retro choices.
Strikingly beautiful floristry can elevate a wedding more than anything else. Sweeping, statement floral displays will wow your guests and look sensational in your wedding album. For a stately home wedding, it’s essential to choose flowers and arrangements to do more than just complement the space: they should take inspiration from your venue’s aesthetic and bring your wedding vision to life in the most beautiful way. To create unforgettable installations, work with an experienced designer who specialises in flowers for stately home weddings. I had the loveliest chat with luxury wedding florist Jemma Khan, whose advice for couples is golden.
