Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - March/April 2025 (Issue 80)

HIT THE DANCEFLOOR Paul Mitchell from Merseybeatz Entertainment (https://merseybeatz.com) says: Weddings in 2025 are set to embrace a new wave of personalisation. Here are some fab finishing touches that we reckon 2025 couples will be looking for. Think vibrant colour schemes and dynamic dancefloors. Colourful palettes will continue to be a prominent trend. From light wash lighting that transforms the dancefloor to colour-changing LED floors, the dance area can be a focal point, creating a visually striking and immersive experience. Consider interactive installations. Embrace innovative technologies available and interactive elements to make your wedding more engaging and memorable. This could include augmented reality photo booths, projection-mapped dancefloors, or photo stations where guests can create personalised keepsakes. This can feature green screen technology where your guests can be transferred anywhere in the world at the click of a lens! By prioritising personalisation, multisensory experiences, and innovative elements, couples in 2025 will be creating wedding celebrations that not only reflect their unique story but also captivate and immerse their guests from start to finish. We at Merseybeatz Entertainment will bring your vision to life! CEREMONY WITH SENTIMENT Celebrant Sophie Wilcockson from Sophie Wilcockson Ceremonies (https://swceremonies.co.uk) says: Although not exactly a finishing touch, the best thing you can do to elevate your wedding is to have a celebrant-led ceremony. Who wants a tired old wedding ceremony, with the same words and the same vows as everyone else? Everyone deserves a ceremony that’s as unique as they are, and a celebrant can help you create one that perfectly reflects you, your style, your personalities and your beliefs. Want your ceremony on a hillside, in your local pub or your friend’s back garden? You can! As the legal stuff is done in advance, a celebrant can conduct your wedding ceremony anywhere, even places that aren’t licensed for weddings, which really opens up your venue choices. And, if you’re torn between a religious and a secular ceremony, we can incorporate elements from both, so you can have pop songs and prayers if you like (and keep all members of the family happy!) So, whether you want traditional and romantic or quirky and fun, or anything in between add choosing a celebrant to your to-do list and make sure your big day is meaningful, memorable and 100 per cent personal to you. A TOUCH OF YOU Katie Lloyd from Maddison J Creations (https:// maddisonjcreations.com) says: Your wedding is a blank canvas to express your love story, unique and personal to you as a couple. Consider creating personalised vows to make your ceremony that little more special and reflect you both as a couple. 2025 is seeing lots of neutral colours filter into decor. Delicate gypsophila and beautiful roses are set to take centre stage. Think elegance and timeless romance. Another thoughtful addition to your wedding reception is to create personalised cocktails, which could be one specifically created for your wedding day, or perhaps just simply your favourite tipple that your guests will love to enjoy too. Photographs of your love story are always a great idea, not only will it create a talking point amongst your guests but it will also tell your love story and show pivotal points of your journey together. Lastly welcome flexibility, sometimes things won’t always go to plan or unfold as envisioned but that doesn’t mean the day won’t be perfect. The most important thing is you will be surrounded by love with all of your favourite people and loved ones present. Victoria Priessnitz on Unsplash 42
