If you\u2019re planning to tie the knot this year, or are busy planning for your big day, you\u2019ll know how much there is to organise and get sorted for the perfect celebration. While the importance of certain aspects is wholly determined by personal opinion, there\u2019s a few things we think are essential.<\/p>\n
In this blog post, the team at Wedding Suppliers have come together to list their top 10 wedding must haves for 2025. OK\u2014some of the things we\u2019ve listed might not be essential in the strictest sense of the word, but they will make your big day even more magical.<\/p>\n
Not only are save the date cards a must have to remind your guests to keep your big day free, they\u2019re a beautiful insight into the kind of wedding they can look forward to and a special souvenir of your day that they can keep for years to come.<\/p>\n
The traditional send-off for the bride and groom-to-be, hen and stag do\u2019s are often celebrated as the last bout of freedom before entering married life. From luxury spa days and afternoon teas to action-packed weekends and city breaks, they can be as extravagant or as modest as you like.<\/p>\n
A DJ is a great option for a wedding day, with no guests request too far fetched, but nothing can compare to a live band. Creating a great atmosphere, a good live band can get you and your guests up on the dancefloor and partying all-night with wedding classics, pre-requested song choices and original music.<\/p>\n
Most guests like to give a token of congratulations to the newly wed couple, but\u2014however grateful you are\u2014no one wants 15 similar gifts. A gift list is the wedding prep you never knew you needed. Provide guests with a list of things you\u2019d like to be gifted\u2014from small home accessories to honeymoon contributions!<\/p>\n
Cutting the cake is a wedding day tradition, and\u2014for more guests than would dare to admit\u2014the cake cutting (and eating) is the pinnacle of their night. Whether you go down the traditional route with a multi-tiered layer cake or opt for an alternative, such as a cheese cake, an over-the-top after dinner treat is a must!<\/p>\n
Weddings are all about celebrating your love as a couple with those who mean the most to you. A guest book is the perfect way for family and friends to leave a sentimental message about your big day and sign their name\u2014and the perfect memento of your day.<\/p>\n
And lots of them! No wedding is complete without a wedding photographer to capture all the special moments in stills, but disposable cameras for your guests to use are a must too. Allowing guests to capture the night through the lens, you get to see parts of your big day you never knew existed! With an air of mystery about them, finding out what\u2019s on the cameras when getting them developed can be a hilarious activity in itself!<\/p>\n
Cute (and totally useless) wedding favours might not seem like a necessity for your big day, but they really do add the finishing touch which would go amiss with your guests. From personalised sweets to bespoke table decor, don\u2019t try to cut any corners here.<\/p>\n
Many brides think they can do a good job of their own makeup. And while this isn\u2019t something we doubt, it shouldn\u2019t be put to the test on your wedding day.

A professional makeup artist has the right products, tools and experience to ensure your makeup is right for the occasion.<\/p>\n
