Q What is tipped for the top in the world of wedding?
A Sophie Regan says: We've seen a huge rise in content creators at weddings in 2024, and I think this will continue for next year, alongside a strong focus on documentary style footage from videographers to complement beautifully edited wedding films. There's a home-movie feel to candid footage that captures snippets of conversations and the unedited moments that made up your special day.

In the same vein, 35mm film photography will continue to be a popular choice for 2025 weddings. It's such a warm and nostalgic style of photography, you can immediately picture showing those photos to future generations.

There'll be plenty of new traditions coming to the fore too. More and more of my couples are feeling empowered to discard the traditional aspects of weddings that don't feel meaningful to them, allowing them to spend more time, energy and budget on elements that they care about. From getting ready together in the morning to not having a bridal party, couples are celebrating however they want to and I'm here for it.

Finally, bold styling will be in with strong colour palettes, sculptural floral installations and off-beat styling moments all set to be popular in 2025. Fruits in styling will continue to be big this year too and bows on everything are going nowhere.

Q A few of my friends have got married recently and I'm worried my wedding isn't going to stand out. How can I add something special to my big day?
A Jodie Knott says: Always stay true to who you are, and your likes and dislikes. Your wedding day is about you both as a couple, so it's always best to draw on your interests or your relationship for inspiration. Some ideas that can help your wedding stand out could be:

1. Personalised table plan – Table numbers as date milestones throughout your relationship. I've seen this at a recent wedding where the couple used the date they first got together, the date of their engagement and the year they moved in together. It also gives your guests something to discuss at the table! Other ideas could be using your favourite films, books or holiday locations.

2. Dessert table – Are you a sweet treat kind of couple? I love the idea of a dessert table instead of a standalone wedding cake. Not only does it provide a variety of treats for your guests, but you don't have to stick with just cake!

3. Audio guest book – This isn't your typical guest book. Hearing someone's voice is something we take for granted. Rather than have your guests write you a message in a book why not get them to leave you a message? As the drinks are flowing throughout the night the messages will probably become more hilarious!
