Crafty Brewing and Lola and Luna's collaboration reveals how personalisation is being brought to the forefront of 2024 weddings.
The concept of personalisation is holding a key part in redefining 'tradition' and incorporating new captivating trends in every aspect of your magical event. Aimee, a wedding expert from a wedding planning and styling company Lola and Luna says, "Over the past few years, weddings have increasingly started steering away from the same old conventions, and opting for bespoke options more frequently."
From table plans set on where the couple first met, to embroidered napkins there are so many opportunities to add a personal touch on your big day. Some of the most unique ways to introduce personalisation to your wedding are:
Save the dates These set the precedent of what is to come and therefore first impressions needs to be impressive, as it builds the excitement within your guests. You don't have to stick with the regular format of a notecard – think outside the box!
Wedding Party Gifts Whether it be at the time of asking them to be a part of your big day, or on the morning of the wedding to say thank you, groomsmen and bridesmaid boxes are a thoughtful way to acknowledge those that are making your occasion so special – apart from the bride and groom's intense love for each other of course! Usually filled with gifts that might come in handy on the wedding day, as well as meaningful momentos, the possibilities for what could go into this box is limitless and can be completely tailored to the recipient.
Wedding Favours A big part of the wedding is who it is celebrated with. Wedding favours are a chance to show appreciation for everyone involved in the occasion. Complete customisation not only allows the favours to fit with the theme of the wedding, ensuring they look remarkable they also allow them to be more exclusive to the couple, impressing the guests. Crafty Brewing, a trailblazer in the craft beer industry, is highly regarded for its personalised beer offerings. The brand's personalisation tool allows customers to design completely unique labels with their own messages and photographs. They have recently also introduced personalised kegs -just what you might expect at a stag do or a wedding pa
Why wedding guests are dressing with more personality
Wedding style is becoming less about rigid rules and more about individuality. While couples have long used their wedding day to express who they are, guests, parents and members of the wedding party are increasingly doing the same through colour, pattern and carefully chosen accessories. For Surrey-based accessories brand Dapper & Suave, the most memorable wedding outfits are not necessarily the most traditional. They are the ones that allow the wearer to feel polished, confident and recognisably themselves. The brand's latest campaign brings together three distinctive looks, each styled differently but connected through expressive accessories. A cravat adds softness and pattern to a textured jacket, a cravat and pocket square bring individuality to a contemporary three-piece suit, while a bow tie and feather lapel pin introduce colour and character to a classic blazer.

The British Wedding Tradition Most Guests Never Question
Most wedding guests have heard the phrase "wedding breakfast", but very few stop to question it. After all, the meal is rarely served in the morning. It usually comes after the ceremony, often in the afternoon, and can involve anything from a formal three-course dinner to sharing boards, canapes, grazing tables and dessert stations. So why do we still call it a breakfast? According to Nick from Country House Weddings, the answer goes back centuries and is tied to religion, fasting and the way weddings were once celebrated in Britain.
