For the evening party, Charles Burns created silhouette portraits. He cut people’s profiles, which they could take away on a card.

We served family-style catering with steak, fennel hot smoked salmon, aubergine casserole, salads and salt and vinegar potatoes. We enjoyed a wonderful 10-day honeymoon in Antigua! Typically, we prefer more adventurous vacations, but this time, we brought our one-year-old along and chose an all-inclusive resort with babysitting services and a luxurious atmosphere to help us unwind. It was our first experience with this kind of holiday, and it certainly met our expectations, although travelling with a child is a whole new experience! Our little one had a blast, and watching him have fun while we sipped cocktails by the pool brought us so much joy. Our three-tiered cake featured carrot, chocolate and lemon flavours. Simple rustic icing and a few floral touches from our florist adored the bake. We were absolutely thrilled with our caterers, florist, AV technician and our singer as all truly exceeded our expectations! 48
