Receptions
From florists to photos, make sure your
wedding ticks all the right boxes…
A touch of class
Have your love story told in an unobtrusive, natural yet
fabulously tasteful way – get in touch with Alison at
Garter Wedding Photography
.
Alison did a degree in fashion photography, and this
grounding combined with her experience in both fashion and
wedding photography has strongly influenced the style of the
pictures she takes. As well as the traditional formal shots,
Alison will capture the joy of the occasion in candid
unguarded pictures of the brides or grooms and other key
players, as they laugh at the speeches, surreptitiously wipe a tear at the vows, and
boogie on down on the dance floor.
Three different packages are priced to suit your budget, and she is happy to travel
throughout the UK and abroad to capture and showcase every aspect of your
special day to best advantage.
Reception perfection
Say it with flowers
Flowers can put that finishing touch to any wedding – so make
sure you get them right!Whether your outfits are inspired by
your choice of seasonal flowers or you have a theme in mind,
the talented florists at
Flower Lodge
, a warm and friendly
florist shop in the heart of Rhiwbina and serving all areas in
and around Cardiff, will help you realise your floral dreams.
Take a look at their wedding gallery for inspiration for your
up-and-coming nuptials to see for yourself the range of
beautiful colour schemes made into a variety of traditional
and innovative designs.
Whether you are a classicist or would like something more
modern, you can drool over sherbet-coloured blooms of blue
hydrangea and peony-style roses, then admire the vintage
elegance of arrangements combining sweet avalanche roses,
astrantia and amnesia roses, before taking in a zinging pop of
summer colour with vibrant reds, yellows and purples that
will make sure your guests are as invigorated and elated as
you are on your special day.
A piece of cake
For a slice of perfection, this Hertfordshire-based cake-
making company says that where ‘some people just make
cakes,
We R Cakes
!’They think that a wedding cake should
be a gift in itself, and believe that making cakes can’t be a
mere vocation, but must be, as it is for them, a passion.
Passion seems an entirely appropriate emotion to be
baked into your wedding cake, and every cake they make is
crafted entirely by hand with only the finest ingredients –
each a one-of-a-kind statement and centrepiece.
But it isn’t only about looks. For a cake to truly have the
wow factor, it must taste at least as good as it looks. We R
Cakes will tackle your idea or design with excitement and
they aren’t fazed by unusual specifications or dietary
requirements. They will make vegan, vegetarian, wheat-
and/or gluten-free, lactose-free, low-fat, all-organic and
diabetic cakes, without ever compromising on flavour,
elegance or beauty.
