You know what decade of vintage doesn’t get enough love? The 1980s. The poufy sleeves, the enormous hair, the excessive use of blue eyeshadow. I mean, what’s not to love? Harry and Chloe clearly agree, because when it came to planning their 2025 wedding, there was one decade they turned to for inspiration.

Getting engaged is the most exciting time. What’s less exciting is when you actually start planning the wedding and realise you might need to remortgage your house to pay for the damn thing. It’s no secret that weddings are expensive. No matter the size or style, they’re a luxury - and luxuries always come with a hefty price tag. It’s not that there are vendors lurking in the shadows waiting to rip you off. It’s just that this shit is expensive. It just is.
