Honeymoons were the big topic in this week’s roundup, but we also touched on a number of trendy issues before sharing some more traditional wedding inspirations. We also found an awesome guide to wedding veils, as well as some guides to help you prepare for things that might go wrong.

1. Planning Your Honeymoon

Wedding Bee was all over the details of planning your honeymoon this week, and they started that off with a simple explanation of why these exciting trips tend to be so expensive and how you can work around those costs.

They didn’t stop with just one article on honeymoons though, they also broke down things like honeymoon registry etiquette tips, the pros and cons of a delayed honeymoon, and how to take advantage of hotel perks on your honeymoon.

Then, they went even deeper with honeymoon destinations in cities and honeymoon destinations for foodies.

2. Wedding Dress Trends for 2020

“The 2020 wedding trends are in and one thing is clear, there are no rules when it comes to what you can wear down the aisle. Designers have taken inspiration from the old and new and given classic styles a fresh makeover for the 2020 bride. From feathery frocks and capes to wedding shorts and the inevitable comeback of the high-low hemline, brides have a wider range of style-options than ever before.”

No one wants to spend time sitting around thinking about what could possibly go wrong, but being prepared for these inevitable mishaps is the best way to make sure that they have a minimal impact on your big day.

8. Timeless Over Trendy

We spend a ton of time talking about the latest wedding trends, but it is important to remember that many brides and grooms are ignoring all of those trends and still putting together gorgeous traditional wedding looks.

This wedding inspiration from Hey Wedding Lady features loads of timeless style in a white chapel. It doesn’t get more traditional than that!

9. Rules for Dad’s Wardrobe

“The role of father of the bride is an important one. Not only are dads dealing with all the emotions of sending their little girl down the aisle, they may also be paying for a chunk of the wedding, writing and giving a speech at the reception, and figuring out what the heck fathers of the bride wear on the big day. Whether the father of the bride loves to shop or would rather watch his most-hated team win the Super Bowl than set foot into a tux shop, it’s essential that he do the legwork to find the right attire for the wedding. Fortunately, a father of the bride can find the right ensemble to wear in just a few simple steps.”

Our friends at WeddingWire put together an excellent article highlighting eight simple rules that will keep the father of the bride looking good without asking too much of him.
