TikTok has become a treasure trove of wedding inspiration, from emotional moments to hilarious bloopers and everything in between. While not every trend is worth recreating, there are a few that add genuine fun, elegance, and unforgettable memories to your big day.
If you’re tying the knot at a picturesque venue like Manor By the Lake, incorporating these curated TikTok trends can enhance both your guest experience and the way you relive your wedding for years to come.
Private Vows During the First Look
A tender moment away from the crowd, the “first look & private vows” trend has taken off for a reason. This gives couples a chance to connect and calm nerves before the ceremony. At Manor By the Lake, our secluded gardens and lakeside views make the perfect backdrop for this emotional exchange.
📹 Pro tip: Ask your content creator to discreetly capture audio or film this moment for a heartfelt video montage.
Reception Outfit Change Reveal
Changing into a second outfit, usually something more dance floor friendly, makes for a fun transition. Especially when paired with a dramatic entrance or a TikTok audio trend. Brides and grooms are loving the “reveal walk” or “transition spin” videos set to viral sounds.
✨ With Manor By the Lake’s elegant suites and grand ballroom, there’s plenty of space for a show stopping change!
“Get Ready With Me” Bridal Party Reels
Invite your bridal party to take part in TikTok-style “GRWM” videos. They can show snippets of hair, makeup, outfit transformations, and toast worthy moments. It’s a light hearted way to document the pre-wedding excitement and showcase your personalities.
Audio Mashups for First Dances
Some couples are now mixing two or more songs for their first dance, often starting with a slow, classic ballad and transitioning into a surprise upbeat track. These dances make great content and energise the crowd, with videos often going viral for their creativity and humour.

“Pass the Phone” Game with the Wedding Party
This trend involves each person humorously introducing the next (“I’m passing the phone to someone who’s cried three times already today”). It’s funny, personal, and breaks the ice among guests. Perfect for rehearsal dinners or morning of shenanigans.
Guest POV Confessionals
Set up a “confessional booth” where guests record messages, predictions, or jokes for the couple. TikTok is full of creative confessionals that end up being some of the couple’s most cherished moments. Use a ring light and an iPad or phone on a tripod , keep it casual and fun.
🎤 Ask your content creator to set up a space for this as a surprise moment for guests when they arrive.
