Wedding trends come and go, but the essence of celebrating love and commitment will never change. One way to celebrate that love is the tradition of gift giving, where, in the quest for a gift uniquely tailored to the happy couple, personalisation has boomed. But with names, initials and quirky one-liners now available on everything from kitchen utensils to candles, has personalisation had its day?
Retro-inspired weddings are trending in 2024, inspired by Pinterest’s Groovy Nuptials trend report, which focuses on the styles of the ‘70s – and we have the hottest trend right here!
Whilst the seventies’ sequins and feathers might feel right at home at a wedding, we’ve seen couples themselves leading the way, with customised denim jackets in amazing designs at lots of this summer’s weddings. Fashion experts are also forecasting that custom denim will be the unexpected gatecrasher of this wedding season.

When I’m not writing English Wedding, I’m writing place name cards and table plans! I’m Claire, and I’m a calligrapher. I’m also the editor of English Wedding (and I don’t show my face often on here!) But today I wanted to share some of the lovely wedding stationery and calligraphy I’ve been sending out to grooms and brides this spring.
It doesn’t feel like summer yet… but it must be just around the corner, right?
Seasonal wedding style is so important for sustainable weddings. Tapping into Spring florals for your wedding can create the most incredible atmosphere. I’ve been so inspired by these beautiful images from Niemierko today I simply had to share them alongside ten top tips for styling a stunning Spring wedding!
1. Seasonal florals – always!
During the spring months of March, April and May, florists have access to beautiful British blooms. Lesser known flowers can take centre stage and give your wedding that unique look (and scent!) to make it an unforgettable occasion.
