We all enjoy helping to make your day special. Here are just a few things you may want to start thinking about all of which Gourmet Foods can help you with. One decision is on whether you would like a fruit or sponge cake or a mix of the two or something completely different, the amount of tiers and the decoration style is up to you too. Consider whether a When you have decided on the venue, people and tables you need to provide flowers for, you should consider whether you want to use only seasonal flowers and if they need to match a colour theme. Another consideration is the amount of room you will have on the table, so whether you have a low arrangement or something with height. We have seen some very novel ideas such as using teapots full of wild flowers and even a beach scene this year. Would you like to book an event in a Hall, Stately home, A Barn or Museum? We can hire in all the necessary tables and chairs to help you. Are you looking to put a marquee in your garden or field? A good marquee company will help to guide you through this process with advice on power, toilet facilities and equipment. How long to want the photographer to attend and do you want formal or informal pictures or a mixture of the two? Do you want a video of the day? One good idea is to use a disposable camera on each table to capture those special moments. Your wine selection can be made by pairing it with what you will be serving for your main course, or considering the time of year and choosing accordingly. You need to make sure that you don t run out of wine, so don t forget to calculate how much wine you need per adult guest and our experts will provide guidance on this. We trust this brief list will get you started and assist you with your planning, Thank you.
