Find out what wedding jewellery is currently on trend

Wedding jewellery by Gatwards of Hitching

We caught up with Charlotte Gatward at Gatwards of Hitching to find out what accessories would be perfect for finishing off a wedding look. She says, "Pearls have long been associated with bridal jewellery as its lustre will complement any skin tone and look stunning with a traditional ivory wedding gown. Symbolising fertility and love, they've been associated with weddings for thousands of years and many celebrities have been spotted wearing them on the red carpet. Classic single rows, studs and pendants are never out of place and will always look classy, but today's modern designs can make pearls fun and more wearable than ever.

"Yellow gold is definitely on-trend and we just love this pendant and matching earrings from Shaun Leane's Cherry Blossom range, which beautifully encompasses this. Shaun Leane is a very talented British jewellery designer who became famous for his long association with Alexander McQueen.

"Classic with a contemporary edge, his yellow gold vermeil freshwater pearl pendant and earrings offers a harmonious blend of softness and sleek lines, giving a bridal look that's both feminine and chic."

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

For many couples, talking about money can feel far less romantic than talking about the wedding itself. But as more Brits prepare to tie the knot — and with stronger legal rights on the horizon for unmarried couples — new research suggests we may be leaving some important financial conversations until it's too late. From avoiding money talk on first dates to steering clear of prenups, the findings reveal a nation surprisingly reluctant to discuss how to protect their finances, even when differences over money are already putting relationships under strain. Two thirds of Brits (66%) say they would not get a prenuptial agreement before marriage (48%) or have already opted against one (17%) - compared to 42% in both France and Spain. New findings from Europe's second largest neobank, bunq, reveal that Brits are markedly more resistant to prenuptial agreements than their continental neighbours – despite Britain's reputation as the less romantic nation.

Couples could legally get married anywhere - legal comment

The UK Government has unveiled a new consultation to reform the wedding laws in England and Wales which is exploring how wedding ceremonies are conducted, particularly looking at wedding venues. The proposals are seeking to modernise the outdated legislation in this area which will eventually provide couples with greater freedom to decide where and how they will get married. At present, when a couple gets married, they need to have their legal ceremony in a licensed building or a registered place of worship. The existing laws have a further requirement that couples must ensure the individual officiating their wedding ceremony is either an authorised religious minister or a civil registrar.

But there is an interesting part of the wedding story that receives far less attention: what happens to those meaningful details afterwards.
