New research reveals biggest wedding trends of 2024, and some will surprise you

The wedding themes of 2024? Expect them to be smaller and more intimate, more informal and just generally more fun! That's according to a new study which was commissioned by high street jewellers, F.Hinds. They asked 2,000 UK couples for their thoughts on which wedding traditions are still important (and which aren't), and what new trends will be incorporated into wedding day plans for 2024. They also spoke to a wedding expert for her views. Their research revealed that the 'big day' traditions that remain in favour include the bride walking walked down the aisle (53%), having wedding rings (52%), cutting the cake (49%), having a best man (44%), and the bride being given away by a family member (43%).

Cinderella's in Skipton celebrates its 25th anniversary

The team at Cinderella's is celebrating the boutique's 25th anniversary with a nomination for a Great Northern Wedding Award 2024! Back in 1999 when the millennium bug was set to cause total chaos with every computer in the land, Mandy started a small business called Stitches. Just over a year later she expanded and Cinderella's was born in the historical market town of Skipton. In the intervening 25 years, the business has witnessed political crises, recessions and a pandemic; during that time the country has also seen seven prime ministers come and go! The boutique has been based in three different locations all within Skipton town, each providing its own unique character.
