Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 96)

IS FOR RAISE A GLASS Ensure guests have a glass in hand to toast your nuptials. Try some local flavour by checking out your local vineyard, and who doesn’t love a pimp your prosecco station? IS FOR SEASONAL If you’re stuck for what to serve, tailoring your menu according to the season is always a lovely way to go. Think fresh flavours in the summer or warming comfort food for the winter.

Ceremony arches can be moved and utilised in your reception space – they provide a stylish backdrop for any food, dessert or cake table for example.

Face-to-face meetings are great but if distance is an issue, most will offer a virtual catch up, so there’s no excuse! IS FOR WORLD CUISINE Spice up your life with an exciting international menu. If you love overseas travel and want the all-important meal to reflect this, talk to your caterer about serving your favourite world cuisine. Your wedding will be the talk of the town! R S T Z IS YORKSHIRE PUDDING The idea of a wedding carvery fills us with joy!
