Your wedding is a huge opportunity to raise a ton of money for charity. Please – if you’re already living together and don’t need a pile of gifts from your loved ones, consider asking for donations instead. Charities will suffer while we make our way through the cost of living crisis – and it’s a good time to remember there are people who are desperately in need of financial help, more than you ‘need’ an expensive honeymoon.

The lovely folks at Macmillan asked us to share their wedding favours, and we think they’re adorable and a very, very worthy cause.

Rustic weddings are so beautiful. The country flowers, the neutral tones and the general coziness makes it such a stunning theme for the most special day of your life. With the naturalistic feel to a rustic wedding, which type of wedding entertainment will blend in seamlessly and not just sound incredible but actually complement your decor? An acoustic folk band of course!

Today we have the most wonderful visual treat for those of you who will be having a wedding cake on your big day. Lovely Cakes by Tasha shared images of her stunning cakes with us, and we’re very, VERY happy to share. They’re so pretty we can almost taste them…

This printed cake is one of Tasha’s favourites and we can see why! It’s beautiful to look at, and must be so much fun to design! The top tier is printed edible icing. Tasha usually uses a print to match wedding invites or something she designs with her couples. ©Charlotte Griffiths Photography 2021
