Gabriel’s passion for making premium soft drinks means Luscombe uses only the finest hand-selected organic ingredients from trusted growers worldwide. Gabriel continues: “We have pressed the apples from the Highgrove estate for more than 15 years and our soft drinks are served privately and at palace and state events as alternatives to champagne and wines. To receive the Royal Warrant again is a moment of immense pride for us.” Luscombe has been creating beautifully crafted drinks on the farm in Devon since 1975. Gabriel is known for his pursuit of perfection, blending the finest organic ingredients with Luscombe’s source of fresh Dartmoor spring water.

Here are some of my top suggestions. •Choose plants instead of flowers. Using potted plants instead of imported cut flowers will save on air miles and cost, and the plants could be given to key people as thankyou gifts. •Another alternative is to choose garden flowers and arrange them in vases, jugs, bottles and decanters from charity shops, or hire from companies who will deliver them and collect them again afterwards. • Hire your wedding dress, or buy a pre-loved one. For what is probably the most important day of your life, a stunning wedding dress is a must. If you haven't considered this before, wedding dress hire companies or shops selling pre-loved gowns may surprise you with the range and quality they have available and are worth a look. •Make your wedding favours worthwhile. Sadly, I see so many wedding favours left behind on the tables after a reception, all of which will end up in the bin and go to landfill. Giving guests something to eat or drink, which could be homemade, is a great idea and rarely gets left on the table. Small bottles of your wedding cocktail along with the recipe, handmade chocolates and wedding biscuits are great ideas, as are festival-style plastic tumblers or Cornish mugs. •Keep your table decorations simple. Tables are usually decorated with place settings, glasses, candles, flowers, decor, favours and bottles of wine and water. Some are necessary, some not so much, so think carefully about how you would like your tables to look." www.sarapricecelebrant.co.uk SUSTAINABILITY 55
