Smaller guest lists, informal dress codes and no speeches are among the top wedding trends for 2024 according to a recent survey commissioned by high street jewellers F.Hinds (www.fhinds.co.uk). Two thousand couples were also asked for their thoughts on which wedding traditions are still important, and the results are in.

Big-day traditions that remain in favour include the bride being walked down the aisle (53 per cent), having wedding rings (52 per cent), cutting the cake (49 per cent) and having a best man (44 per cent). In contrast, wearing a garter (nine per cent), being carried over the threshold (eight per cent), and interestingly, sticking to a colour palette (eight per cent) are loosing momentum among UK nearlyweds.

Looking at new trends for 2024, smaller, more intimate wedding ceremonies (29 per cent) and receptions (24 per cent) are in, as are informal dress codes (22 per cent). We're told that couples in Bristol are also most likely to want to incorporate new wedding trends into their day.

Alongside guest numbers being significantly reduced, the classic sit-down three-course wedding breakfast could become extinct with couples favouring more informal food options such as grazing tables, dessert bars, and brunch- and afternoon tea-inspired setups.
