HOT TOPIC Local experts offer stellar advice on wedding dilemmas SWEET TOOTH We want to create a sweet table for our guests to enjoy, but we’re not sure where to start. What advice can you share with us? Sweet tables are lovely additions to receptions and doesn’t always have to cost the earth. With such a huge range of sweets available, you can find something your younger guests will love as well as the adults. The treats must be accessible to your guests, but you also don’t want the table to be in the way – the best location is preferably against a wall. Depending on your chosen venue, it could also be a good idea to have it in the entrance way or canopy area. One of the best ways to make the station look gorgeous is using a great colour palette. You can then incorporate sweets and decorations that match to create a clean, fun and put-together look – pink and white shades are popular choices. Try to have a variety of treats for guests to enjoy. Incorporate chocolates and marshmallows as well as confectionery options. To make the display look amazing, you’ll want to cover the table with a cloth that ties in with your colour palette. This doesn’t have to be anything fancy; it just helps tie everything together. Make your sweets table look fun and busy by adding different dimensions – this is what will make your table look luxurious. You can do this by having different sized mason jars and cake stands. If you want to jazz up the table more, you could add flowers and a fun backdrop.

I always come to weddings armed with a boot full of umbrellas, waterproof covers for my gear, and even a poncho. We can go outside and capture some great shots even if it rains by using these items or any tree cover available. For example, this beautiful shot features a couple in the rain. Hopefully, you’ll be in the mindset to embrace your day no matter the weather and have maximum fun. As well as various umbrella options, I use off-camera flash and coloured gels to capture great shots. I can also add different effects to outside shots to light up trees and venues or liven up inside pictures on a rainy day.
