By now, you’ve probably seen those viral “wedding recap” reels on TikTok or Instagram – the ones that somehow appear just hours after the ceremony. The ones that make you go: Wait, how did they already post that?! Well, there’s a good chance a wedding content creator was behind it. A wedding content creator is a service provider who creates primarily video content on their phones. The idea is you have a skilled person who is capturing all of the moments of a wedding, candidly. That is also the person, a couple would put in charge of recreating any trending videos or transitions, lip syncs, etc. They often provide clips in a quick turn around, so the couple can share their wedding “in real time” or within a the few days after, on their social media. Some wedding content creators even offer a wedding day takeover, so they really are posting the wedding day in real time. We spoke to Falon Mei of Vegas Wedding Content Creator all about this rising, and sometimes controversial, new trend.Read more...

Weddings bring out a ton of emotions. Not just for the couple getting married, but for everyone around them - friends, family, co-workers, and that one aunt who’s convinced it’s her job to make sure things are “done properly.”Read more...

Flowers have long symbolised love, beauty, and new beginnings, so it’s no wonder they are synonymous with weddings. Although they often take centre stage when it comes to wedding décor, floral details can be woven into bridal styling too. Whether you’re inspired by bold maximalist floral prints, statement accessories, or vintage treasures, adding floral details to your wedding look allows you to infuse a sense of romantic whimsy into your aisle style.Read more...

Let’s be real. Most “budget wedding” advice you find online isn’t really budget advice. It’s “my aunt is a florist” advice. It’s “my best friend is a graphic designer and gifted us our invites” advice. It’s “we got married on my parents’ estate” advice. But what if you don’t have any of that?Read more...

The cost of flowers has risen significantly since the pandemic. Many growers went out of business, and those that stayed had to rethink their operation - cutting production and wastage to maintain sustainability. There has also been a push for eco-friendly practices, which means investing in new technology. Factor in rising wages, transport costs, Brexit-related border checks, and soaring business expenses for growers and florists alike, and you’ve got some seriously pricey stems.Read more...

Do you ever play the people-watching game in big train stations? As somebody who first met my now-husband under the clock at Waterloo, I love giving back-stories to strangers as I wait. My favourite time to do it is when I spot somebody carrying a bunch of flowers. I wonder if those ranunculi mean “congrats on the new job”, or if those red roses mean “I’m sorry for being a prick”. Whatever the meaning, when it comes to flowers, there is always a message being sent. And, sometimes, there is even a whole secret language in bloom. So, why not use your flowers to help send the messages you want to on your wedding day?Read more...
