Happy Friday everyone, Wow! how is it the end of the week already! This week has totally flown by, my first full week back in the office since the summer holidays and I think I may have just about caught up! Dexter has had his 2nd week at his new school and all I can say is I think we are both a bit overwhelmed with it all! I’m looking forward to a chilled one this weekend, I need some R&R after an immensely busy week, what about you? To finish of the week I have this super stylish and incredibly chic wedding to share with you. Krystal and Brandon were married on 15th June 2024 at The Stakout in Taos, New Mexico. They chose elegant styling and a classic look for their day and mirrored this from their flowers to their outfits. A totally stunning day from start to finish, all captured perfectly by Lavel Marie Photography.

The leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and before we know it, the autumn wedding season will be here in full swing. And with a new season always comes a fresh wave of inspiration. Whether it’s cosy details or bold design ideas that embrace the drama, fall 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most creative seasons yet.
As we look ahead, it’s clear couples are leaning into all the things that make autumn so special. From new colour palettes to the little details that create lasting memories, this is the time of year when weddings feel especially personal. Let’s take a closer look at what’s making fall celebrations stand out in the months to come.
2025 Fall Wedding Trends

Gold elements
Gold is having a real moment this year, and it’s not hard to see why. It adds just the right amount of glamour without feeling over the top.
Mary Angelini, Videographer at Key Moment Films, shares, “Gold is still here and going nowhere. Its warm tone is perfect for the season and can be used as a natural and paired with any fall wedding aesthetic. It works just as beautifully in a rustic barn setting with textured linens and organic florals as it does in a grand ballroom with crystal chandeliers and luxe fabrics. Gold can be used subtly, like gold-toned flatware and candleholders. Gold instantly elevates the overall aesthetic and ties the design together with a sense of timeless elegance.”
And if you want to go bolder? Consider gold accents in your bridal look, like statement earrings or hairpins, or even gold foiling on your cake design. Gold is an excellent choice that photographs beautifully under autumn’s softer light.

Traditional wedding cakes
After years of seeing everything from doughnut walls to cupcake towers, the classic wedding cake is back in the spotlight. Couples are leaning into elegant designs with smooth icing and delicate piping.
“Gone are the days of hanging donuts on a display wall,” admits Kelley Nudo, Client Relations & Operations Director at Momental Designs. “Couples are really embracing the idea of having a traditional wedding cake, especially the Lambeth style or the Italian millefeuille, which are hugely popular. The menus we create for our couples these days have thoughtful dessert choices that are either traditional wedding cakes or confectionery assortments that rival the charcuterie displays during the cocktail hour.”
That said, “traditional” doesn’t have to mean predictable. Bakers are experimenting with seasonal flavours like spiced apple, pear, and caramel, as well as decorating with fresh flowers or edible metallics for a modern twist. The beauty of a classic cake is that it feels celebratory but still leaves space for your personality to shine.

Picture this. You’ve paid £300 for your wedding hair trial. The stylist creates these gorgeous, effortless waves. Very boho. Very you. You leave feeling like a goddess.
Fast forward to your actual wedding day. Same stylist. Same products. Same technique. But your hair? It won’t hold a curl for more than twenty minutes. The waves fall flat. The texture looks stringy instead of romantic. You spend your entire reception sneaking off to the bathroom, desperately trying to revive your lifeless locks. Sound familiar?
According to The Knot’s wedding study of nearly 17,000 couples, 73% of brides hire beauty professionals for their big day. But here’s what that same research reveals : most brides report their wedding hairstyle didn’t last as long as their trial. And here’s the thing nobody talks about: it’s rarely the stylist’s fault.
Split Ends Killed My Boho Waves: The Pre-Wedding Hair Mistakes 73% of Brides Make

The Truth About Why Boho Styles Fail
Let me tell you a secret that took me three wedding seasons to figure out. Those perfectly imperfect boho waves everyone wants? They’re actually the hardest style to maintain with damaged hair.
Think about it. Sleek updos hide damage. Tight curls mask frizz. But those loose, flowing boho waves showcase every single flaw in your hair’s texture. Every split end becomes visible. Every damaged strand refuses to hold its shape.
Sarah from Manchester learned this the hard way. “My trial was in March, wedding in May,” she told me. “In those eight weeks, I did nothing different. But my hair had gotten so much more damaged. The curls just slid right out.”
The culprit? Split ends that travelled up the hair shaft. Good Housekeeping’s Beauty Lab experts confirm that once the protective cuticle layer is lost at the hair tip , damage travels upward if left untreated. It’s like a run in your tights. Starts small, ruins everything.
See, damaged hair is like a frayed rope. It can’t hold onto anything. Not moisture. Not product. And definitely not those dreamy boho waves that need healthy texture to maintain their shape.
Hair grows about half an inch per month. That means in the typical 3-month engagement period, you’re looking at 1.5 inches of new growth. But here’s what wedding blogs don’t mention your ends are getting progressively worse during that same timeframe. Heat styling for all those pre-wedding events. Stress. Diet changes. It all shows up in your hair.
