Your West Midlands Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 66)

HOT TOPIC What’s hot in the world of weddings in 2020... #TRENDING MUSIC MAESTRO Q Wedding music has changed a lot over the years, how can we be modern in 2020 with our music offering for the day? Liam says: Versatility is the key. Whatever type of artist you choose, a wedding crowd will always have a diverse taste in music. Not only should the professional you hire be able to adapt to different styles, but they also need to deliver it well. The client gets more for their money and the wedding party gets a flavour of all genres!

Neree says: To make vows more modern, mix and match with the traditional; couples could maybe personalise and incorporate a special memory of their other half. Alternatively mention something which each other has said that has always stuck with them.

Caroline says: There are so many exciting colours and designs being asked for by couples this year and a mixture of shaped tiers works beautifully. I always advise couples to consider what would complement their special day and this could even be by starting with their colour scheme. The trends this year are lots of flowers be it big and bold colours or tiers of flowers, adding extra height and a new dimension to the cake.  Another popular request for many of my couples is cascading sugarpaste petals, these are utterly beautiful and can be the classic white or a colour combination to match the wedding theme. The final element I’d recommend is taking time to consider how you want your cake displayed. Decorating your cake table can take your wedding cake to a whole new level and ensure it is showcased perfectly.
