Pantone who? Minted and Brides have come together in the ultimate collab and they’ve beat Pantone to the punch. You heard it here first, the color of the year (for weddings) is Verona Sunset. She’s a warm terracotta inspired by runway fashion, dreamy destinations, and Italian aperitivos. Gorg!

And as your resident wedding experts, we’re here to tell you we agree! Peach was trending so hard for 2024, it’s only natural that 2025 sees an evolution in the same palette. With destination weddings on the rise coupled with moody photo edits, we can’t wait to see more of this shade in our feeds and on the blog.

Minted + Brides, The Ultimate Collab

Now here’s where Minted’s collab with Brides comes in. These two have paired up to make sure you’re on the cutting edge of wedding style right from the start. It is engagement season after all and if they haven’t put a ring on it yet, chances are a proposal isn’t far off (you’re reading this, aren’t you?).

save the date

You’ll want to make sure that your wedding stationery suite is cohesive starting with your save the date, and incorporating a popular shade, like Verona Sunset is a great way to take the guesswork out of your wedding color palette. The best part about this color is that, where it is on the color wheel, it pairs well with just about everything. It functions almost like a neutral. So whether you were hoping to have pink or blue in your palette or anything in between, you’ll have plenty of time to decide that down the road, for now, Verona Sunset’s got your back.

The Real Deal

When it comes time to select your actual wedding invitation suite, we love Minted’s unique approach to design. They have created four different suites using the same trending color palette so that every couple will be able to find a motif that speaks to them and their personal style.

modern prep

Custom crests, tasteful stripes–if you’re getting married at a country club or golf course this is the invitation suite for you.

artfully hand-drawn

With beautiful watercolor illustrations and hand-written calligraphy, this suite caters to couples who enjoy artisan craftsmanship. It’s perfect for weddings at historic venues and romantic destinations.

contemporary color

Modern art museum weddings or rooftop soirees with the city skyline as the backdrop–just a few of the venues that speak to this chic minimalist collection.

whimsical romance

Timeless florals mix with vintage bow motifs embodying a classic aesthetic that will never go out of style. If you’re on the fence about your wedding design or are worried about committing to one or another, this is the collection for you.

don’t forget the other must-haves on your wedding printing list

As usual, Minted has already thought of everything and has coordinating printed collections for the day of as well. So you have it handy, here is your printing checklist for your wedding day too so you can check it all off in one go and make sure everything is cohesive.

• Table Numbers
• Place Cards
• Menus

The post You heard it here first, here’s 2025’s wedding color of the year appeared first on Weddingchicks.

More and more couples are craving the intimacy of an elopement, the feeling that it’s not about the flowers or the destination, but just the two of you and your commitment to each other. But, just because you want to share that special moment with your one and only, doesn’t mean that you don’t want to celebrate finding the love of your life with all of your other favorite people. So what’s a modern couple to do? Pre-elope, of course!

Typically couples just go to the courthouse to pick up their marriage license but wait to sign it (aka make it official) until the big day. This couple had other ideas. They went to the courthouse dressed for the moment and brought Rajotte Photography along to document every last moment. Keep scrolling to see all of the snaps from their chic courthouse wedding in NYC and their post-elopement wedding in the Hamptons.

At Wedding Chicks, you know how much we love a commitment to a wedding theme, so when we came across these wooden wine glasses and cups from Silva Culture we HAD to share it with you guys! Seriously, the possibilities are endless…

Enter here to win 30 custom engraved Silva Culture wooden cups. A $750 value!

You’ll need something special to toast with on the big day, what about these? Glass and crystal, they’ve been done, but we’ve never seen anything quite like these wooden champagne flutes. They would be perfect for a whimsical woodland wedding or a rustic barn celebration.

handmade to perfection

Each cup is handmade in Maine with sustainably harvested wood. They come in three different wood types so you can choose the one that coordinates best with your color palette. In case you’re wondering (we did), the inside of each cup is coated with food-safe sealant to prevent leaking and staining, so they’ll last you well into your happily ever after. They come in two shapes, classic and modern, and two sizes, tall and short.

If this is your vibe, then talk to your planner ASAP and get these babies locked down for your big day. Keep in mind they offer bulk discounts, so if you are ordering for your entire wedding, be sure to message them ahead of time. Just think, you could even have them engraved with your monogram, or use them as place cards and have your guests’ names engraved on them! Add some visual interest to your tablescape by selecting the same shape but alternating the sizes between the tall and short.

These wood cups also make great gifts for weddings, of course, but really for any special event. How cute would these be to give your bridesmaids and groomsmen to share a toast with as you’re getting ready? Can’t you just see the pictures? If you’re gifting, go with the custom engraving with their initials or wedding date, it’s a special touch and they’ll cherish these forever!

Just when you thought you were done booking your wedding vendors, a whole new service has hit the market. What started as a specialist for celebrity clients has now trickled down to the masses and it seems as if EVERYONE is hiring a wedding content creator for their big day. What is a wedding content creator exactly and do you need one? We talked to one of our favorite wedding photographers, Taylor Krauser of Taylor Jordan Photography, to get all the deets on the latest trend in wedding documentation…

what is a wedding content creator?

Back in the day, couples had to wait months to receive photos from their wedding. Then came the advent of smartphones and everyone had a camera, but the couple still had to hound their bridal party to add pics from the day into a shared album. Things escalated quickly and pretty soon it wasn’t just the bridal party who wanted to snap a pic of every special moment, which may sound sweet, but it ended up being not so fun for the professional photographers and videographers hired to take the REAL wedding photos and for the couple that hired them. So, couples started to ban phones from their ceremony and were once again relegated to the big wait for their official wedding photos and videos…but not anymore!

introducing wedding content creators

A Wedding Content Creator is a social media content specialist that will accompany you throughout your wedding day and create candid behind-the-scenes content using nothing but a phone (ok, there may be a ring light involved 😂). Having a designated person documenting those private moments solves all of the aforementioned dilemmas and gives you (the couple) that instant gratification that you’re looking for. Seriously, you haven’t lived until you plop on the bed in your honeymoon suite with your new hubby or wife, kick off your shoes, and start scrolling through photos from your wedding!

who needs a wedding content creator?

We recommend Wedding Content Creators for two drastically different types of people. The first–people who struggle with social media but want to be good at it. People who don’t know how to make a Reel, which filters to use, or what a Lightroom preset is. People who appreciate a well-curated grid, but can’t seem to get theirs to be remotely cohesive. If that sounds like you, you’re a good candidate.

The second type of person that would really benefit from hiring a Wedding Content Creator is a social media guru. You LIVE for your social media, you’re entire life is told through your Stories and you know exactly what you want your wedding coverage to look like…you just don’t have enough hands or phones on the big day to make it happen.

the best part

The best part about hiring a professional Wedding Content Creator and not just relying on your friends and family tagging you is that you’re getting actual works of art from someone who does this for a living. Take Taylor Jordan Photography for instance, they just won best wedding photographer in Charleston. If you think you’re good with an iPhone, just imagine what she can do? She gets lighting, framing, timing…all of the things that go into making good content. It’s more than documentation it’s curation and that’s what you’re paying for.

Taylor Jordan Photography is now offering Wedding Content Creation as a standalone service or as part of her Wedding Photography package. Contact Taylor today to find out more about her Content Creation Packages.

Collecting wedding photos from guests has never been easier, thanks to advancements in 2024 and the ubiquity of smartphones. Everyone, from your closest family to distant friends, now has the capability to capture those precious, fleeting pictures that even the most vigilant professional photographers might miss. However, the challenge has always been in efficiently gathering these personal snapshots.

Back in the day, there were wedding hashtags for collecting pictures, but take it from us, after a few cocktails the likelihood that your guests are spelling your punny hashtag correctly is slim to none. This is precisely where Wedibox comes into play, offering a seamless solution for uploading wedding photos from guests via QR codes, ensuring that every candid laugh, tear, and dance move is captured and preserved. In the digital age of 2024, Wedibox stands out as the modern answer to a timeless problem, enabling couples to easily collect and share every significant moment of their wedding day through a digital guestbook.

what is wedibox?

Wedibox revolutionizes the collection of wedding photos from guests by providing a personalized wedding photo album that your guests can access and upload to just by scanning a QR code. And we know what you’re thinking…No, the QR code doesn’t lead to the app store. That’s it, they scan the QR code and upload – no downloading required! Whether it’s sharing their point of view of your big day or capturing those candid moments often missed, Wedibox simplifies the process, making it a breeze for everyone involved—from your tech-savvy friends to less tech-savvy family members like grandma.

The platform’s user-friendly design and the direct upload capability via QR code eliminate common barriers, ensuring that every moment is captured and preserved in your wedding’s digital memory book.

“I am so happy I found Wedibox. It is very easy to use. My scan code cards arrived extremely fast. My guests had no problem using the codes and uploaded many photos of the wedding for their point of view. Highly recommend!!” Jennifer Helberg

what we love about wedibox

Well, the first thing that got our attention is that Wedibox was started by Cristian Soria, a wedding photographer! A wedding photographer who’s not just tolerating but encouraging guests to take photos? Go on…

Cristian noticed that while they were capturing the classic wedding shots, there were so many great candid moments that the guests were capturing on their phones that the couple would probably never see. In addition to sweet candid pictures, no matter how diligent the photographer or couple is, it’s unlikely that you’ll end up with a photo of every single guest for your album or your guest book for that matter. How sad is that?! Wedibox is the modern answer and the best digital guestbook on the market. With Wedibox, everyone can upload photos from their experience at your wedding to the album, every selfie, every toast–don’t miss out on a single moment.

“The website was user-friendly! Cards were beautiful and delivered on time. The entire process was seamless and added to an overall perfect day!”- Kacy Bugam

quick and easy

Not only is it easy for your guests–it’s easy for you too. Seriously, in just 60 seconds you can set up your Wedibox account and they’ll take care of the rest. They even have over 50 customizable Canva designs you can use for the display cards for the QR code and they can print them for you too! And we know, a lot of you have been burned before, but with Wedibox there’s no catch, no surprise fees (for you or your guests). You can have unlimited guests, unlimited picture and video uploads, and Wedibox includes 12 months of storage and a 3-month uploading period, both starting from the day of the event.

final thoughts

Wedibox revolutionizes the way we think about collecting wedding photos from guests. By embracing this digital guest book, couples ensure that no moment, no matter how small or fleeting, is missed. It represents a leap forward in making wedding celebrations truly inclusive and memorable for everyone involved.

If you’re like most couples, you probably have a song that’s “your” song. That TikTok song that reminds you of hours spent scrolling together in bed, a song from the first movie that you saw together in a theater, or that pop cover from when you made them binge Bridgerton with you (and they liked it). But sometimes these songs aren’t always the most, appropriate for a first dance–at least not as is. But get rid of the lyrics and turn that banger into a borderline classical masterpiece by going instrumental, and well, you’ve got the perfect recipe for a relevant, modern song for your first dance. Now light the candles, kick off your shoes, take a sip of champagne, and be prepared for one of these instrumentals to sweep you right off of your feet.

If you just clicked on this post because of the mesmerizing arrangement in the pic but have no idea what Ikebana is, no judgment. Let’s get into it a little before we dive headfirst into gorgeous floral arrangements. Dating back to ancient times, the term Ikebana has come to encompass the Japanese art of flower arranging. It originated with Buddhist monks making beautiful, thoughtful arrangements as temple offerings and has evolved into a modern art used to celebrate an array of momentous occasions…like weddings. Ikebana arrangements are characterized by their natural forms and minimalist selections.

Each stem is featured prominently and there is hardly any “filler” like in modern Western arrangements. The result is a delicate, gravity-defying linear composition with plenty of negative space that adds a touch of whimsy to any occasion. Because it is such a specific art form, if you want this style for your wedding florals, make sure to find a florist that specializes in Ikebana. Now…enjoy.

What’s this? Another streaming movie revolving around a JLo and a bridal designer collab? Count us in! Shotgun Wedding was just released today on Amazon Prime and it stars everyone’s favorite triple-threat, JLo, and the forever charming Josh Duhamel. What starts as a dreamy destination wedding quickly devolves into a hysterical high-octane action adventure when the bride, Darcy, (JLo) and Groom, Tom, (Josh) need to save their family…if they don’t kill each other first. No judgment on our end, wedding planning can be a b*%^#.

The promos for this were obvi already popping up on our for you recommendations, so when we got an e-mail about it from the team at Galia Lahav we were intrigued, to say the least. And besties, it was so much more than a press release! We have #BTS photos of JLo and got the deets on everything you could possibly want to know about this epic gown!

^{Photo: Ana Carballosa. Copyright: © 2023 Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved.}

Trigger warning: if you find couture in distress disturbing, brace yourself, because Shotgun Wedding takes the “trash the dress” trend to the EXTREME. But is it weird that we’re kind of obsessed with the “destroyed” version???

^{Photo: Ana Carballosa. Copyright: © 2023 Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved.}

The movie and the gown start out picture-perfect. The beautiful off-the-shoulder princess sleeves, voluminous tulle skirt, and beautifully draped corset bodice are very much giving their viral “Bellina” dress that’s graced the pages of Wedding Chicks many times before. Apparently, Galia Lahav meticulously constructed and created 28 versions of the same dress in just 1 month. They had to use special techniques so that it could be ripped and transformed into the sexy action-packed end look that you see here.
