Cherish Wedding planning service

Good luck, katie and Mark for Saturday. The marquee and gardens we’re looking great earlier today! Can’t wait to see it all finished

An American twist on a seating plan.

Instead of drawing up a board showing everyone where they are sitting.

Why not make a bit of fun out of it, by allowing guests to find their name in a more creative way.

Everyone finds the label with their name on it, and then on the reverse there will be instructions about where to sit.

It can also act as a favour, be attached to the first drink or just as a way of enhancing the theme and giving guests a talking/mingling point.

Here are some ideas to inspire you.

This was a great wedding to plan.

A fighter pilot from America and his beautiful Cambridge girlfriend. Planned in only a few months, due to his work schedule.

A three room marquee for 170 guests in their garden at home. With the father of the bride leading the co-ordination of the day.

A very emotional church service, followed the best food and drink and all topped off by a fun evening party and the first snow made for some magical photos.

This week i was contacted by a new cake company.

Mr Cake is a michelin trained chef, who has set up his business in Cambridge.

His designs look very clean, and he offers a bespoke service free of charge.

He also does favours and party cakes too.

Just need to taste some now, perhaps i will ask for some freebies. His choice of fillings and cake flavours is really mouth watering.

This rainy May 1st, and i am searching for inspiration for a moodboard.

I realised that some of the traditional ‘always there’ elements of weddings from the last 50 years are slowly becoming less popular. You can have an unusual one of a kind wedding, whilst still keeping some traditions.

Here are some of the things i love that are becoming less common features.

Veils -

Sugared almonds -

Cake boxes -

corsages -

lucky horseshoes as a gift to the bride -

Reading out cards from guests who couldn’t attend! One of my favourite traditions for the speeches that is very rare these days.

Most are there for a reason, and all of them can be modernised.

But the new traditions are good too – like celebrating for an entire weekend!!
