If you’re newly engaged or starting to plan your wedding day, you have likely been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options and possibilities for your big day.
That’s where our ever helpful Lusty Glaze Weddings team comes in…
We’ve explored the latest wedding fashions and trends and have distilled them for you below, in a way that we hope is useful and will help you envisage your perfect celebration on the beach.
Most importantly though – remember that your wedding is a personal celebration. At Lusty Glaze we make sure every wedding is unique, and a reflection of the couple saying their vows. So whether you choose to embrace these trends or not, your special day at Lusty Glaze will be unforgettable for all the right reasons!
Intimate Elopements & ‘Micro Weddings’
Micro weddings might have been a trend born from the global pandemic, but they’re here to stay. Many couples are continuing to opt for smaller, more intimate celebrations, choosing meaningful gatherings over large guest lists.
We’re seeing an increasing number of couples embrace smaller, more intimate beach weddings with just their closest family and friends invited. It’s lovely because the small guest list doesn’t limit the celebration, it actually amplifies it, with many groups choosing to ‘make a weekend of it’ and spend an entire weekend on the beach at Lusty Glaze.
A more limited guest list creates breathing space in the budget for curation, and results in a highly personalised experience. It gives you the freedom to focus on the parts of the wedding that are important to you – whether that’s a pre-wedding event, a live band, the designer dress of your dreams or a wedding content creator. Choosing an intimate wedding might be the decision that allows you to make luxury choices.
Winter Weddings
There is no such thing as an ‘out of season’ wedding anymore, as more and more couples are catching on to the allure of a winter wedding – and here’s why! There’s no better time to celebrate love than with a smoky eye, sleek hair, bold lip and a fabulous bridal jacket, wrapped up warm in winter’s crisp embrace. From deep, luxurious color palettes, woolen, tweed or velvet textures, seasonal cuisine and warming cocktails, winter is where elegance meets coziness, and every detail of your wedding will reflect the drama and allure of the season.
Winter is when Lusty is at its most serene. Picture your wedding nestled within a stunning, sheltered horseshoe cove, offering a near private sandy stage beautifully illuminated by candles and storm lanterns. Your backdrop will be panoramic ocean views and crashing waves, the mood enhanced by dramatic skies, twinkling fairy lights and the warm glow of log burners. You and your guests can enjoy every inch of this private coastal paradise – from the highest step to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
Wedding Flowers that Pop
Colour and contrast is in, and nearlyweds are increasingly seeking out florists with bold, vibrant portfolios as a way to infuse personality and joy into the wedding theme. After the reign of neutrals and dried florals, it’s no surprise that 2025 is all about making a statement – bold, bright, and bursting with colour.
Lighting as the Silent Storyteller
When it comes to setting the mood for the different moments throughout your wedding day, lighting is transformational, and has the power to enhance the romance, complement your décor, and elevate the emotions of the day.
At Lusty Glaze you’ll already have the beach backdrop and the glow of the setting sun to play with… but how about considering a few of these options as well…
Aisle Illumination – Set the stage for your grand entrance by lining the aisle with clusters of flickering LED tea lights or elegant candles.
Vow-Focused Dimming – Create an unforgettable moment by gradually dimming the lights as you exchange vows. This cinematic effect heightens intimacy, drawing every eye to the heart of the ceremony.
Disco Ball Moment – Simultaneously turn off the overhead lights and turn on our colorful strobe lights to hit the disco ball and make the dramatic transition from day to night. This modern touch brings a unique and immersive Ibiza vibe to your evening party.
With the right lighting, your wedding day becomes a truly immersive experience that will linger in the memories of you and your guests forever.
Drapery that Defines your Personal Wedding Vibe
The soft folds and rich textures of draped fabric have become a defining element in wedding design, bringing a sense of elegant luxury to indoor and outdoor venues alike. Whether cascading from ceilings, wrapped around pillars, framing ceremony arches, lining aisleways or shaping the dreamy Lusty Glaze beach backdrop – the presence of drapery effortlessly enhances the atmosphere adding a burst of drama and romance.
Embracing Nature in a Private Outdoor Ceremony
Beach Weddings are more in demand than ever as people are increasingly enchanted by outdoor weddings across the decade. For couples seeking a wedding that feels intimate, and deeply connected to the elements, a beach setting offers the perfect blend of magic and authenticity.
Our private Cornish cove and panoramic ocean views provide a cinematic backdrop, whilst the natural light creates an atmosphere that changes throughout the day – especially magical at sunset! Nature-inspired celebrations at Lusty Glaze burst with rustic romance and serenity, the soft crunch of sand underfoot, the soothing break of the waves, and the fresh, salty scents of the ocean all come together to create a truly immersive experience.
Choose our Exclusive Wedding Package and our beautiful Cornish cove will be completely yours for your BIG day.

Elopements and Micro weddings aren’t for everyone… and that’s ok – because here at Lusty Glaze we love a good party!
