Modern Wedding Rings
It's useful to consider various factors to ensure a seamless match with your engagement ring. Try matching the setting style, such as whether it is scallop or pavé set, and the metal.
Scallop Set wedding rings, currently the most popular and contemporary choice, offer a chic and timeless look with their intricate settings - not to mention, serious sparkle.
You can't go wrong with a plain wedding band - and this can look really special against a diamond engagement ring; plus you can jazz up your ring stack with eternity rings in the future. Style it like Em Rata's wedding ring, and choose a thick, yellow gold plain band for an alternative yet simple look.
For those seeking a slightly alternative aesthetic, Flush Set rings in yellow gold are a trendy option, providing simplicity and a clean look.
Shaped wedding rings, such as the Wishbone Scallop, are ideal for pairing with non-wedfit engagement rings. The unique 'v' shape of the band adds a modern touch - and the style was Hailey Bieber's wedding ring of choice.
Find the perfect balance between your personal taste, complementary design elements with your engagement ring, and look for refined designs.

Our Favourite Modern Wedding Dresses
Embrace popular modern features like high-low hems, statement sleeves, and unconventional necklines to infuse your bridal look with a fresh and fashionable vibe. Currently in vogue are halter necks, off-shoulder dresses and oversized cuffs for a touch of glamour and sophistication. However, when in doubt, simplicity prevails. A sleek slip dress can exude elegance, especially when adorned with the right wedding day jewels and paired with a chic up-do hairstyle. Finding the ideal modern wedding dress involves balancing trendy elements with timeless simplicity for a look that will stand the test of time. For the afterparty, think sparkles, feathers and out-there extras! image: @grace_loves_lace

Our Favourite Modern Wedding Flowers
Current trends favour a mix of bold and subtle hues, with pastel palettes like blush, lavender, and sage remaining popular. Modern bouquets often feature a combination of traditional blooms and unconventional elements, like anthurium, trailing greenery, or branches, creating a dynamic and visually appealing contrast. Asymmetrical and architectural arrangements as well as loose, organic shapes have gained popularity, replacing more traditional, tightly packed bouquets. Greenery continues to play a crucial role, enhancing the overall aesthetic with its natural elegance. Image: @sageflowers
