Non Traditional Wedding ideas.
Let’s kick off by saying the most important thing is to plan a wedding that feels authentic and meaningful to you as a couple, regardless of tradition or convention.

Starting off strong, literally!
We had recently performed at a Wedding where the unbelievably cool celebrant aka Nat Raybould announced a surprise….Prosecco waiters!… during the ceremony!!!
I can not tell you how much the guests absolutely loved this, a little tipple paired with a small salty snack really set the perfect tone for the day and kept everyone entertained, start how you mean to go on we say!
Save the last dance.
Trust us, 2025 will be the year of the last dances, when your Wedding day is over and the very last person has stumbled out of the door, what a perfect time to reconnect and unwind with a secret last dance, a moment to say “We did it!” before heading back to the Bridal suite - another idea is to take some time for a room reveal, this way you get to enjoy a private first dance and appreciate all of the untouched decorations and money spent before your guests fill the tables.
TikTok it.
Some of the best advice, tips & tricks come from other newlyweds, TikTok is also the home of some amazing Wedding content creators such as Mrs Bunn who shares her experiences and expert tips on all things Wedding related.
Research, review & respond.
Weddings are notoriously overwhelming, you have sooo much to think about and no idea where to start, couples can often make risky decisions such as booking a vendor/supplier based on social media followers or paid promotional videos they have seen, sometimes its hard to get a clear and honest picture of what you’re actually buying!
We always recommend research, research, research. Read Google reviews all the usual stuff but joining Bridal advice forums such as Hitched UK where the reviews are much more detailed, even taking the time to read through post comments where clients may have left feedback really helps.

Lastly, respond….if you’ve asked for a quote before talking to a wedding supplier they will often send you a quote for their “medium” package, if you don’t see anything you like just ask about alternative options, most suppliers will be more than happy to organise a call with you to discuss in detail exactly what you’re looking for and what they can provide for you.
Last but not least.
Your Wedding day will be come around so quickly and after its all over you’ll wonder where the time went. Most couples regret not spending more time together on their Wedding day, its so easy to get whisked up into the day and before you know it you’ve spent most of your time absent from one another, hold hands and stick together, enjoy conversations as a couple, dance with each other until the very last song and remember, this day is for you both to enjoy as a newly married couple….Also hiring us is a pretty good start.
