As 2023 is drawing to a close, wedding gift list company Prezola, has pulled together their best-selling wedding gifts of 2023, whilst looking at predictions for 2024.

Despite being in a cost-of-living crisis, it appears people are getting MORE generous when it comes to weddings. In a recent survey*, 99% of guests confirmed they would give a wedding gift, with 93% saying they find having a list to choose from helpful.

Experiences continue to be front of mind for the adventurous Prezola couple, but they are also combining this with big home upgrades, including coffee machines, pizza ovens and more.

The likes of Airbnb, Mr & Mrs Smith and Lastminute.com are extremely popular, alongside honeymoon funds, with 59% of guests giving cash for honeymoons and 39% of them donating towards a honeymoon through a fund like Prezola.

Group Gifting will continue to be popular in 2024, as wedding guests like to pool together to purchase these bigger ticket items, with 54% of guests spending between £50-£100 per gift, which has increased from previous years.

Everyday essentials that engaged couples haven't got around to buying themselves will be popular, such as AirFryers and Pizza Ovens – the things that make every day at home a little bit more elevated.
 

Top Wedding Gifts include:

Ooni Karu Pizza Oven - £379

Sage Barista Express Coffee Machine - £630

Salter Dual Pro Air Fryer - £123

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer - £599

Patch Plants Gift Voucher - £50/£100

Lastminute.com Gift Voucher - £250

Airbnb Gift Voucher - £100

Mr & Mrs Smith Gift Voucher - £100

*This survey was undertaken in September 2023, where they surveyed 2610 people in the UK attending a wedding within the next 18 months and how they are gift-giving. Link HERE.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

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.
