Give Back And Donate

On such a special day, it’s so wonderful to look around at how blessed you are. This is the perfect time to give back and donate to a cause close to your heart. This can be down in lieu of bonbonniere for your guests or you can give your guests the option to donate instead of purchasing a gift. Whichever option you choose, this is a beautiful way to spread some love around.

 

Drip Cakes And Metallics

Picking a wedding cake can be incredibly tricky! How many tiers? What flavour? What’s the colour scheme? Floral decorations or macarons? The options are almost endless! On trend at the moment are smaller styles. Two or three tier cakes in combination with other dessert options allows for lots of different sweet treats and gives you lots of room to be creative. We are now moving away from naked cakes and traditional ruffle styles towards drip cakes, metallic colours and lots of colourful florals!
