HOT TOPIC Stellar wedmin advice from those in the know CAUGHT ON CAMERA Our big day is fast approaching and we’ve decided to book a videographer, but we’re not sure what to look for. Do you have any tips? Check out videographers who have a good social media following and a professional website with plenty of reviews and examples of previous work. I’d also recommend contacting them to check availability as soon as possible, and let them know what you’d like filmed on your special day. It’s also important to discuss budget as there are suppliers, like me, who are happy to work around what you want to spend. A reputable videographer will be happy to show you examples of their previous work and will ask you questions to discover your wants and needs. Rachel Gilbertson, https://rachelgilbertsonfilm.co.uk A TASTE OF AUTUMN How can we reflect the best of the autumn through our wedding cake? For me, the best of autumn is the array of colours and warm food on a cold, rainy night. If you’re having a wedding at this time of year, here are four ways to incorporate the season into your cake: ❤ Flowers. A simple yet stunning way to bring your day together, incorporate your wedding florals onto your cake to add a pop of colour. ❤ Flavours. A heavier, spiced or currant-filled sponge is perfect for an autumnal wedding. We offer flavours such a custard cake with spiced cinnamon apple compote, and sticky toffee with dates and all spice, which are both ideal for bringing in those warm, spicy notes. ❤ Coloured tiers. This is sure to make a statement! However, if you’ve been thinking about creating a display for your cake, or if you’ve hired a venue stylist, then I’d recommend this option. Your big-day bake will be remembered for all the right reasons. ❤ Ribbon. Simple and stylish. A luxurious ribbon can effortlessly bring in those classic autumnal hues. It’s one of the most underrated details you can have on a cake. Perfect for all those classic couples out there, and easy on the budget too!
