Kelly Hawes Celebrant wins wedding award

After winning Celebrant of the Year 2023 for the East of England at The Wedding Industry Awards, Kelly Hawes Celebrant went on to the national stage to win Highly Recommended Celebrant.

The Wedding Industry Awards highlights the best companies from around the regions, including make-up artists, bridal boutiques, caterers, entertainers, venues, photographers and more. Suppliers within the wedding industry work tirelessly to ensure that couples have the very best weddings. There’s a lot of pressure and work, not just on the day but for many weeks or months beforehand. So, it was such an achievement for Kelly to know her hard work had paid off. She says, “It was probably around 10.15 pm when I got the news from my friend DJ Mike Readings, who won National Highly Commended DJ, and I was blown away!” She continues, “I’d like to say a huge thank you to all of my couples that spent the time voting for me and rating my business for judges to deem me highly commended nationwide. I now look forward to reading their testimonials, which will undoubtedly make me very emotional!”

New app launches to simplify one of marriage’s biggest admin headaches

Changing your name after marriage can mean updating details with countless organisations, from banks and subscriptions to official documents and employers. New app Name Change Navigator aims to make the process easier, guiding newlyweds through each step from one platform. Founded by Rebecca Dainton, Head of Product at Flutter UK & Ireland, the app was created to reduce the stress and mental load associated with name changes. It supports a range of naming journeys, including traditional surname changes, double-barrelling, blended surnames and other choices following marriage, civil partnership, divorce or personal identity changes. The launch comes as younger generations increasingly rethink traditional naming conventions, with technology offering a more streamlined approach to this often-overlooked part of newlywed life.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
