This month's picks run from the celebrity weddings that defined 2026 to a royal wedding in Central Java, with new guides for anyone planning their own day. We refresh the list every month.

Celebrity and Royal Weddings

Which Celebrity Weddings Defined the Year?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said "I do" at Madison Square Garden, Dua Lipa wore Chanel in Sicily, and Dove Cameron married among castle ruins in Tuscany. The year's celebrity weddings are all in one place.

The Gusti Sura Royal Wedding in Solo

From 3 to 8 November, Pura Mangkunegaran in Solo, Central Java, hosted a dhaup ageng, a grand royal wedding, as Gusti Sura married KPH FX Adimas Rosdian. Read how the Gusti Sura wedding unfolded, including the procession through the city.

Planning Guides

What Is Expert Wedding Advice?

Planners, venue coordinators and celebrants each know a different part of the day. Our piece on expert wedding advice shows who to ask, how to judge what they tell you, and which questions to raise about commission.

Setting a Wedding Budget You Can Stick To

Agree on what matters most, set a total you can pay without stress, and hold back a buffer. The wedding budget guide takes it step by step.

Who Pays for the Wedding?

Tradition said the bride's family paid for most of it, but many couples now pay for some or all of the day themselves. Here's who pays for the wedding, then and now.

Hidden Wedding Costs

The catering service charge, an hour of overtime when the dance floor is still full, stamps on a heavy invitation. These hidden wedding costs are what tip a budget over.

The Wedding Ceremony Script

Our wedding ceremony script runs from the welcome to the moment you are presented as married, and flags the few lines the law requires in Australia, England and Wales, and New York.
