Plus, the kids (big and small) will thank you for it. Check out www.candybees.co.uk IS FOR MOBILE BAR The choices are practically endless with more fun and fab ideas cropping up all the time. We love horsebox bars that serve speciality tipples such as an array of gins or prosecco for your post-vow reception. Check out www.fizzboxbar.co.uk IS FOR NO WASTE Food wastage at weddings is a huge issue, so find out if your venue is signed up to a scheme such as Too Good To Go (https://toogoodtogo.org) that connects its app users with businesses that have surplus food, allowing it to be enjoyed rather than wasted. If not, you could consider donating any leftovers to the local food bank. IS FOR ORIGIN Some venues grow their own herbs and vegetables and many caterers will support local farmers by using their meat and produce. Serving locally-sourced food at your wedding not only adds to the ambience, but also supports the community, ensures quality and offers sustainability by reducing the miles it’s had to travel. Check out https://queenandwhippet.com which uses seasonal and local produce from around Bristol, Somerset and The Cotswolds. IS FOR QUICHE Buffets are still the most popular option for an evening feast. If that conjures up less than appetising images of quiche and sandwiches for you, fear not. The modern buffet is a thing of beauty with options like street food stations, tapas, sausage sarnies and mini sliders. IS FOR PIZZA Pizza trucks are a great option for the evening reception. With a variety of flavours on offer, there’ll be something to keep even the most fussy eaters happy. Check out www.barefootstonebakedpizza.co.uk IS FOR LATE The wedding breakfast can end up being served quite late in the day by the time you’ve said “I do,” and popped off for your photographs. So, to prevent your loved ones flagging, ensure there are plenty of delicious canapés on hand for the drinks reception. A selection of five to six is a good guide and we love the idea of mini fish ‘n’ chip cones or warming bite-size pies for the winter. I J K L M O P Q N www.falkenburgphotography.co.uk Les Kaner 58
