Your Surrey Wedding- April/May 2021 (Issue 88)

Our experts solve your problems HOT TOPIC: WEDDING WORRIES ARRIVE IN STYLE Q – We’re looking for wedding transport and feel overwhelmed by the amount of choice available. What should we ask before booking? Your wedding day should be one of the most memorable days of your life, and your transport should make you feel like a celebrity. We’re finding that an increased number of couples are opting for classic Rolls Royces, which have that added wow factor and presence. When choosing a vehicle, it’s always advisable where possible to physically view your preferred car as website images aren’t always a true reflection of its condition. Try to book six to nine months in advance to avoid disappointment. A few questions you can ask your supplier are: ❤ What is provided within the service? ❤ Are the cars decorated with ribbons as part of the package? ❤ How long is the hire period? ❤ Are the drivers dressed in a chauffeur’s uniform? ❤ Are there any additional charges from the price quoted? Stan Christofi Transport specialist www.alphaclassweddingcars.com SUMMER DELIGHTS Q – What cake flavours would you suggest for a summer wedding? Keep it light and fresh. The classic vanilla sponge with seedless raspberry jam and vanilla bean buttercream is always very popular. Alternatively, you could switch up the fillings with a mango and passionfruit coulis and buttercream. Peach conserve and melba buttercream is also very delicate. Zesty lemon sponge layered with lemon curd and buttercream is always a hit, or you could add a twist with lemon and elderflower buttercream paired with blueberry conserve. For the chocoholics, a chocolate sponge layered with black cherry conserves and buttercream or salted caramel would be perfect.
