Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 81)

… FOR GROOMSWEAR British accessory and homeware designer Karen Broude says: Pocket squares have blown up on the menswear scene recently with Bradley Cooper, David Beckham, Eddie Redmayne and Daniel Craig, to name but a few, rocking the look.  This classic accessory allows you to have a bit of fun with your look and add some flair to a stylish groom’s outfit. The colours can be mix-and-matched and themed to your own wedding palette. Choose to stand out by selecting a design with a pop of colour to add a focal point to a plain suit, or opt for soft pastels a shade lighter or darker than your tie for a romantic look.  Karen Broude karenbroude.moonfruit.com instagram.com/broudek MAY – OCTOBER ❤ Tahiti ❤ Fiji ❤ Mauritius (although a year-round destination) ❤ Seychelles (although a year-round destination) ❤ Hawaii ❤ Canada ❤ Kenya ❤ Tanzania ❤ Zanzibar ❤ Europe ❤ Queensland NOVEMBER – APRIL ❤ Caribbean ❤ Mexico ❤ Thaxiland ❤ Australia ❤ New Zealand ❤ Maldives ❤ South Africa ❤ Dubai Caroline Dennis Travel Consultant | Not Just Travel danandcaroline.notjusttravel.com … FOR WEDDING PLANNING Mobile bar specialist Abi d’Aulerio of Madda Events says: ❤ Veganism – Believe it or not, there are actually a lot of spirits which are vegan. You need to watch out though, as some drink processes can include filtration with animal products? Depending on the level of veganism, you also need to watch out for the glue on the labels – this can be an animal by product! We are attending a few vegan events in 2020 including Basingstoke’s Vegan Food Fest which is an exciting new adventure for us and cant wait to be apart of the vegan community!  ❤ Non alcoholic beer – As people are looking for a healthier sustainable lifestyle, non alcoholic beer is becoming more and more popular. We attended the International  Drinks Expo in London in 2019 and tried non alcoholic Effes which tastes exactly like the alcoholic version (minus the hang over)! Spending time in Munich this Christmas, there were 100s of non alcoholic beers in the supermarkets, which I’m sure is going to make its way over to the UK this year! ❤ Colour – A key wedding colour trend for 2020 is blue and our beautiful horsebox bar fits perfectly within the theme. With an oak wood finish and copper fittings, it’s the perfect addition to any DIY wedding for 2020.
