Your Yorkshire Wedding - March/April 2021 (Issue 47)

Our experts answer your burning questions HOT TOPIC SMALL BUT PERFECTLY FORMED Q We’ve had to downsize our wedding, but we still want a showstopping cake. Help! Small wedding cakes can still look amazing; it’s all about the way you dress them and how you display them. Go for large flowers on plain, soft-coloured cakes to create impact or bright and bold colours work brilliantly on tall slim cakes with a statement topper. Adding a touch of sparkle is a fool- proof trick to catch the eye. Consider where you will display your cake. Try not to put it in a corner, but choose a central location with plenty of natural light or a spotlight for a more dramatic effect. A cake stand will add height and grandeur, and make sure the table isn’t too big as this can swamp a smaller cake. Finally, don’t over-decorate it – less is more!

How can we dress our venue to create a real party feel? You will have waited for what seems like a lifetime for your wedding, and you’ll want to give your loved ones an unforgettable occasion. Stunning balloon decor is a really cost-effective way to dress your venue and wow your guests. Ballon art isn’t all about kids’ parties and balloon animals. I promise all my couples that the creations will still be floating and enchanting guests by midnight – my balloons are always the last ones at the party! I love meeting wedding couples at my workshop where you can see my latest designs and we can discuss how to make your day extra special. There are so many different styles and colours available, which we can choose together to help make your big day pop! Jacqui Saxon | The Ultimate Balloon Company www.ultimateballoon.co.uk/weddings 74
