This year, it’s all about minimal design and maximum impact when it comes to wedding dresses. Following Meghan Markle’s simple and elegant bateau-necked ceremony gown, there’s been a steady rise in the demand for classic tailored wedding dresses. The key is finding one that’s the perfect fit for your shape.
Sustainable weddings
From biodegradable confetti to locally sourced food and cake ingredients, there’s a big focus on throwing an ethical and sustainable wedding for 2019. Brides not only want to look great, but feel great about their big day.
Weekday weddings
Choosing not to have your special day on a weekend can help keep costs low if you’re wedding planning on a budget. Opting for a midweek wedding, could allow you to reach a wide variety of venues who are likely to have more availability during the week. It’s also worth looking at late availability weddings to see what upcoming dates are free and at what discounted price. Our midweek weddings (Mon-Thurs) at Coombe Abbey Hotel start from just £70 per head.
Quirky wedding favours

Gone are the days of sugared almonds for wedding favours. More couples are realising the fun you can have with getting creative when it comes to saying thank you to your guests. What quirky ideas can you think of that are personal to you and your partner? If you love drawing, how about personalised pencils and notebooks? Or if you’re both lovers of gin, perhaps mini personalised bottles?
