INTIMATE WEDDINGS 45 TWO OF US Just the Ideas for creating an intimate wedding THE WRITE STUFF Can we still have beautiful stationery with a small guest list? When it comes to wedding stationery for your big day, start by making an appointment with your local stationer. This will be a valuable and exciting experience and you will benefit from their guidance and knowledge. I recommend sending a save-the-date to your chosen guests, giving them plenty of notice of your date. We advise eight to 10 months prior to the nuptials, or up to a year if you’re having a mid-week wedding. If you’re only inviting a handful of people to join you on the big day, you may want to make your stationery that much more special with pieces designed to fit your theme and colour scheme. Foiled invitations, arch options, vellum, or velvet versions are very popular at the moment and create a great impact. Veronique from Retro Deco Wedding Stationery www.retrodecoweddingstationery.com Here at Your South Wales Wedding, we’re seeing more and more couples opting for an intimate wedding. If you’re planning a small celebration with your loved ones and feel a bit overwhelmed, don’t stress! We’ve put together a guide, with advice from local experts, to help you create the wedding of your dreams. ESPECIALLY FOR YOU We’re thinking of giving our guests Welsh cakes as favours. Do you have any design and flavour ideas? Any type of wedding, be it small or large, is such an exciting event to plan! Small weddings can be made beautiful by creating an intimate setting; this includes the colour scheme, style, table setting and décor. With our Welsh cake wedding favours, we have a variety of styles to choose from, and they can be made bespoke for every couple. Choosing the flavour of Welsh cakes, packaging, colour or style of ribbon, and even adding a mini wooden Welsh love spoon or dragon all create the perfect gift for your guests and they can also be a part of your table settings. Our Welsh cake wedding towers are also very popular; any size can be made, from 50 to 400! These can be a variety of flavours and include flowers and a personalised topper that matches the style of your wedding. These can be used instead of a traditional wedding cake or as part of the dessert table. When choosing a supplier, ask for recommendations from friends and ensure you get quotes from at least two for each service. Whatever type of wedding you choose, take advice from recently married couples and have fun with the planning. Melanie Hall from Welsh Cake Hut Limited www.welshcakehut.com
