Leading modest swimwear fashion brand LYRA Swim recently held its first-ever corporate brand trip with a UK hotel, bringing together 15 esteemed female Muslim influencers and the LYRA team members for an unforgettable two-day event at Carden Park Estate, shattering the taboo that modest swimwear isn't accepted in the spa environment.

Welcoming guests with rose and elderflower drinks, the event started with a Twilight session at The Spa at Carden, where guests had the extraordinary chance to bask in the award-winning spa facilities under the starlit sky, perfectly encapsulating the essence of LYRA Swimwear against the breathtaking backdrop. The evening was further enriched by enlightening discussions led by Kally and Hodo, the esteemed hosts of The Oversharers Podcast. Their insights provided invaluable perspectives into the world of modest fashion, fostering a dialogue that resonated deeply with the attendees.

After experiencing the luxury of an overnight stay at Carden Park Hotel, guests gathered for a hearty breakfast and headed back to the spa for a day filled with content creation and rejuvenation. The guests were free to indulge in the award-winning spa facilities throughout the day, capturing moments that highlighted the seamless blend of comfort, style, and practicality that define LYRA Swimwear.

Following the visit, there was a resounding feeling of self-confidence, empowerment, and confidence amongst guests, with many commenting that they felt truly comfortable in their modest swimwear at The Spa at Carden.

Digital marketing executive Khaoula Boumaaza from LYRA Swimwear says, “We wanted to provide our community of influencers and #LYRAladies with a safe space where their values would be respected, and where they could be their truest selves in our designs that combine modesty, style, and functionality. Bringing our vision to life at Carden Park’s SPA provided our influencers with a special experience that combined two important things for them; self-care by rewarding themselves with a memorable SPA getaway and fashion, feeling their absolute best in our inclusive designs. We are confident that this is only the first of many inclusive getaways where women from minorities know that there will always be space for them with LYRA Swim and Carden Park”

Marketing manager at Carden Park, Dan Rennie says, “We were delighted to welcome LYRA Swim to use our spa, as we think it is really important to be inclusive within the spa space. We actively want to market The Spa at Carden as an inclusive spa, letting guests know we cater to the modest market, from female-friendly spa sessions, down to menus featuring plenty of Halal options and non-alcoholic drinks. We receive a large number of comments on our social media pages from guests saying they’ve had really positive experiences at the Spa at Carden, where modest swimwear is a common sight and women from Muslim and other religious backgrounds feel comfortable and totally themselves”

This collaboration marks a significant stride towards breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity within the spa industry. By seamlessly integrating modest swimwear into the spa environment, LYRA Swim and The Spa at Carden Park are setting a precedent for acceptance and self-expression.

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies.

Weddings may be rooted in tradition, but 2026 is seeing couples put their own spin on the big day. From reimagined wedding cakes to more personal, less conventional celebrations, today's couples are increasingly choosing what feels meaningful to them rather than simply following the rules. To explore how wedding traditions are evolving, Okay Rahman, Head of Product and in-house cake expert at Cake Box, shares their insight into the biggest wedding trends of 2026 — and how couples are putting a fresh, modern twist on some of the most-loved elements of the day. He said... "We're seeing that wedding cakes are becoming much more personal in 2026.
