We were incredibly lucky to secure a booking with her as it turned out to be the last wedding she catered for before retiring!” THE PERSONAL TOUCH Guests were given packets of wildflower seeds as favours to reflect Charlotte’s passion for gardening and as a big sweetlover too, they also provided a table of jars filled with a selection of all their favourites for everyone to enjoy. James’ mum Pauline made the three-tier cake, based on her much-loved Christmas recipe, and Charlotte helped decorate it with textured royal icing and a ring of olive leaves on each layer. It was topped with a small crystal vase from her parents’ wedding cake, the cake knife was an heirloom too, used at family weddings and christenings along with the lace tablecloth and round table. Charlotte adds, “We had a long and leisurely lunch with lots of chatting and laughter and it was lovely to see each other after not being able to socialise much over the previous year. After dinner, James and his bestmen had curated a playlist which kept us dancing long into the night.” “We loved just sitting back during the meals, surrounded by those we love, listening and watching everyone interacting and having a good time.” – Charlotte 40
