Wedding cakes made of cheese

With loads of volume and drama these dresses look like they are straight from the 70’s making them perfect if you’re looking for a fashion statement.

Patterns with repeated lines making geometric shapes in the lace causes it to move away from the more traditional lace fitting right in with the fashion trends this summer.

It’s all about halter necks this season. They will take you to anything from sleek and formal to romantic and organic - you choose.

Add a big bow to your dress, be it the sleeves, waistline or anywhere else. You’ll be making a fashion statement with this one for sure.

Is there really anything more to say other than pockets to convince you what a good idea this is? Didn’t think so.

Not only is it super comfortable, it’s also functional and bold! Spice things up with some ruffles and feathers and you’ve got a winner.

This effortless accessory is always a must. It creates a sense of style and sheer fashion. They are also pretty functional making them a wardrobe staple.

Make sure secure an extra wide isle for this one! It’s the most extra look you could possibly have so if that’s your goal then go for it, make a statement.

This season clearly has a big influence from the 70’s. All things vintage yet boldly fashionable are one of the most exciting ways to go.

Bigger leaves and brighter colours is all the talk this season. You’ll be the talk of the town with your fabulous fashion statement. Go against all norms and roll with it!

Contemporary and textured wedding cakes have become like artworks rather than just cakes. People get really creative with this one and have anything ranging from famous artists artworks to sculptures. This is where you need to explore and have fun! 

This method of serving dessert is very effective because everyone can choose a dessert they want and everyone involved gets to have their favourites made. It also provides vegan or gluten free guests with alternatives ensuring they do not feel left out.

Besides the cocktail stand as mentioned above, consider using a beautifully crafted tea stand or a coffee and hot chocolate stand. You could even go as far as having a feminine, stylish champaign stand to fit right in with the theme of your wedding. There are so many options for you to choose from. A couple more could be a milk and cookie stand, a lemonade stand, wine stands or even a craft beer stand to pour yourself a cold one.

What better to stick with our proud South African heritage than to serve your guests food from a braai! Fill your wedding day with that all too familiar smell of braai’s and create a more informal way of eating opening up a more social atmosphere.

Follow the trends of our every day lives and source food products that are organic and locally grown. This way your food will be extra delicious and you will be supporting your local vendors all at the same time. It really just is a win win situation for everyone. This also allows you to use ‘in season’ ingredients.

Well this one is just something that goes without saying. Following the global trend it’s no surprise that some weddings have gone full on vegan because of the brides and grooms being vegan.

These days weddings are swaying more and more towards creating a full cocktail making experience allowing guests to make their own desired cocktails providing them with the hard tack, (gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, tequila, or any other spirits) the mixes (tonic, soda, cordials or anything else you can think of) and lastly, the condiments to go into it (fruit, spices, herbs, flowers, ice, etc)

More and more weddings have adopted the whole ‘midnight snack’ style of serving their guests when things get a little late. Anything from bacon and egg rolls, burgers and pizza. The oilier the better.

Edible food displays are definitely trending this season. The trick here is to constantly push the creative boundaries with any sort of visual display turning your food setup into a focused talking point.

More and more brides and grooms have resorted to using edible wedding favours rather than actual gifts. Things like neatly packaged macrons or little jars with sweets in them with a nicely designed label. The possibilities are endless and it really shows that you’ve made an effort from your part.

Although we are all very familiar with food trucks and their effective food serving, a fairly new trend we have been seeing is brides and grooms using food trucks at their weddings rather than a big fancy, sit-down dinner. It creates a more informal setting and opens people up to wandering around and chatting to eachother while they eat small meals.

Things are moving away from canapés being handed out towards big tables filled with anything from cheese to fruit to biscuits where people can help themselves to anything they feel like. It also makes for an impressive display table and a point of conversation and gathering for your guests.
