Envelope or email? Long before the seating chart or the playlist, this is one of the first real decisions of the whole planning process, and one of the most fun, too. Although all things digital are on the rise, in the wedding industry paper isn't backing down. Meanwhile, a growing number of couples are quietly landing somewhere in between; using both digital and paper products to invite guests to their weddings. In this article, we break down whether printed wedding invitations are still important in 2026, where paper still earns its keep, and why "both" might just be the smartest answer of all.

There's a reason wedding planners obsess over something as small as where a fork sits. And that's because your wedding table place setting is the one part of a wedding that every single guest interacts with, up close, for hours on end. From napkins to coasters, favours and glassware, there's so much detail to play with in a table setting! In this article, we're breaking down exactly what belongs on your reception tables in 2026, what's genuinely non-negotiable versus what's just a lovely extra, plus real examples and inspiration to steal some ideas from.

If we're being totally honest, an Australian wedding isn't too different from those in other parts of the world. Sharing traditions with British and American weddings, and with customs borrowed from countries and cultures all across the globe, an Australian wedding ceremony isn't totally unique. There are however a few things we have implemented that put an Australian stamp on our wedding ceremonies and receptions. From sharing an acknowledgement of country, to serving lamingtons, in this article we cover some of the traditions and customs associated with an Australian wedding ceremony and reception in 2026. 

Making the decision to plan a black and white wedding is a big one; it's untraditional for sure, and a little unconventional. However, it can't be denied that when it's pulled off just right, a black and white wedding has an unmatched and incredibly striking appeal. Timeless, modern and chic, black and white weddings are coming back in 2026, boasting a kind of simplicity and elegance simply not achievable with other colourful palettes.

Enter the trusty wedding website! From venue information to dress code deets and even registry wishes, pack your 2026 wedding website full of information and let it take care of everything.

Easily overlooked or left to the last minute, wedding favours are the perfect finishing touch to your big day. The tradition actually dates back to the French, who are credited with introducing the custom of gifting guests at weddings, and what started as a small box of sugar has evolved into something far more creative. As a wedding guest in 2026, you might find anything from candied almonds and personalised chocolates to seed packets and tiny bottles of whisky waiting at your place setting. In this article, we answer the question 'what are favours?', and offer some ideas and inspiration to help you find yours.

The wedding of 2026 is a far cry from what it once was. For many couples, the celebration of marriage has become a fully considered, multi-sensory experience. We're not exaggerating! Every gorgeous detail is chosen with intention. Some seek out bespoke scents for their ceremony, spend hours refining the visual brand of their stationery suite, and think very carefully about the overall flow and the feeling of the day; from the first guest's arrival to the last song of the night. Not every couple goes to these lengths, nor should they. But many today are thinking about their wedding in a way previous generations simply didn't. With wedding stationery taking a front seat in the development of the 'wedding experience', we take a good look at just why this is happening, and is if it's actually worth it!

Every couple has a different perspective on marriage, and on love. And only when you start sifting through potential readings, quotes and themes for your big day, do you realise that there are so many words out there that just don't fit you as a couple.

Meanwhile, others prefer totally toned down language. Regardless of how you like to describe or represent your love, there is a quote out there to summarise all kinds of relationships.
