We recently came across a list of wedding facts that really made us smile, so we wanted to share just a handful of them with you.

• 52 songs is the ideal playlist for a three-hour party
• The largest wedding attendance was a Jewish wedding in Jerusalem in 1993 where 30,000 attended
• A Malaysian man holds the record for being the best man at over 1000 weddings
• The longest dress was found in Germany with a length of 515 feet
• The most expensive wedding cost over £22 million and was held in a purpose built stadium in Dubai
• An engagement between a Mexican couple lasted for 67 years before they finally tied the knot in 1969
• Elton John once charged £2 million to secure him singing at a wedding
• Queen Elizabeth II had 12 wedding cakes. The one she cut at her wedding was nine feet tall and weighed 500 pounds
• Peas are thrown at Czech weddings instead of rice/confetti
• It takes on average 45 seconds to glide down the wedding aisle

And there you have it! If you know any other weird and wonderful facts, let us know!

We’ve been doing some research, and it looks like Summer 2026 weddings are all about personality, colour, and effortless style. Think, less tradition, more “this feels like us.”

🌈 Bold colour palettes
Expect vibrant tones like coral, citrus, peach, and bright blues, often paired with softer ceremony styling and a more colourful evening look.

🌿 Personalised celebrations
Weddings are becoming more intentional, with unique details that reflect the couple rather than following set traditions.

✨ Guest experience focus
Couples are prioritising how the day feels; interactive moments, great flow, and memorable food and entertainment.

👗 Multiple bridal looks
Many brides are choosing outfit changes: one for the ceremony, another for the evening, and a fun look for dancing.

🌸 Modern romantic styling
Think soft lace, 3D florals, and lightweight fabrics that feel fresh and natural in summer light.

🕊️ Subtle luxury
A move towards understated elegance—high-quality details, refined styling, and intimate touches rather than excess.

🌾 Nature-led weddings
Outdoor, garden, and coastal settings with wild florals and organic styling are continuing to grow.

💫 Fashion-forward bridal style
Structured silhouettes, modern tailoring, statement veils, and editorial-inspired gowns are key.

Sounds like great fun! We can't wait!!

Great wedding makeup starts with great skin, so focus on prep, not perfection.

In the 3–6 months before, keep your routine simple and consistent: cleanse, moisturise, SPF, and a few targeted treatments. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of water and use a hydrating serum to keep skin plump and smooth.

Exfoliate gently 1–2 times a week to improve texture, but don’t overdo it. As you get closer to the day, stick to products your skin already knows. No last-minute experimenting!

In the final week, focus on calming and nourishing your skin with hydration, good sleep, and minimal stress. Avoid picking or trying anything new.

On the day, arrive with clean, well-moisturised skin - we can take it from there!

Healthy, hydrated skin = makeup that looks effortless, radiant, and lasts all day.

The Summer wedding season is nearly here and we can’t wait!

Another summer of amazing couples, hosting amazing weddings and getting the chance to see even more amazing venues! And this review is the reason we do what we do - and even better that we get to do it together.

We know that picking the right suppliers for your wedding can be difficult, so we wanted to share with you our top tips!

• Know your budget - it is easy to let this get out of control, but if you can keep your budget in mind, this will ensure you don't end up disappointed.

• Decide your vision - have a clear idea in your mind of what kind of look you want to achieve - finding suppliers that can compliment this will ensure you achieve the look you want.

• Consider your suppliers style - as above, find suppliers that match your style or at least are amenable to working to your style.

• Get recommendations - never be afraid to ask for reviews - even better if they come as a personal recommendation!

• See a portfolio - ask to see photographs of work that your suppliers have done to ensure that the quality and look is what you're after.

• Arrange a meeting - your wedding suppliers will be spending most of your wedding day with you, so meeting them before-hand an easy way to check you get along.

• Do they know your venue - this isn't necessarily a deal breaker, but if they do, it can make the operations on the day that bit easier and they'll know the best spots for good photos!

• Book an engagement shoot - if they tick all the boxes above, why not book an engagement shoot to see how it goes?

At Truly Images, we can do all of this! As a combined Hair, Make-up and Photography service we'd love to meet with you to discuss your wedding in more detail. Get in touch to find out more!

Healthy Hair = Happy Bride! Here are our top tips to keep your bridal hair in tip-top shape before the big day:

1. Hydration is Key
Dry, brittle hair is never a good look for a wedding day. Hydrate your hair by using a deep-conditioning treatment once a week leading up to the wedding. Focus on nourishing oils like argan or coconut oil, which pe*****te the hair shaft and add moisture. Consider a leave-in conditioner for extra hydration too.

2. Regular Trims
Regular trims every 6-8 weeks are essential for maintaining healthy hair and removing split ends. By the time the wedding rolls around, your hair will be fresh, full of life, and easier to style.

3. Scalp Health
Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils. Consider a scalp massage or a clarifying treatment to remove product buildup. A healthy scalp equals better hair growth and overall shine.

4. Avoid Heat Damage
Excessive heat styling can lead to dry, damaged hair. In the months leading up to your wedding, try to limit the use of hot tools. If you do need to style, always apply a heat protectant to shield your hair.

5. Protein Treatments for Strength
Protein-packed treatments (like keratin masks) can help strengthen your hair, especially if it's feeling fragile or lacking volume. You’ll need strong, resilient strands for your wedding day hairstyle to last.

6. Stay Healthy and Hydrated
A balanced diet plays a huge role in hair health. Incorporate foods high in vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, like leafy greens, nuts, and fish. Drinking plenty of water will also help keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.

7. Pre-Wedding Hair Trial
Don’t leave your hairstyle to chance. Schedule a hair trial a few weeks before the wedding to ensure your hair can handle the style you envision, and so you can make any necessary adjustments.

By following these simple tips, your hair will be glowing, healthy, and ready for your wedding day styling!
