2. MEZZE GRAZING
Grazing plates and shared bowls are a fantastic alternative to the traditional plated menu. Guests are immediately are emerged into a much more sociable experience, being able trying a variety of dishes. It is a fantastic way to start a meal and can break the ice with guests who may be attending the wedding on their own. This sort of service can work brilliantly with long banquet style tables.

3. SAY CHEESE
Keep guests entertained and create lasting memories with great photos from portable photo booths. Polaroids provide instantaneous fun and capture precious moments throughout your special day. A collection of polaroids stuck into an album creates a fun alternative to a traditional guest book with guests able to leave messages of love for you under their happy snap. This is also a fantastic way to recall all of the fun moments from your day.
You can also transform wedding pictures taken from guests mobiles and share them with friends using Instagram’s filters or organise a professional photobooth with each guest able to take a copy of their photo with them as well as leave a copy for you in a customised book.

4. ALL THAT JAZZ
With the recent resurgence of all things Art Deco, 1930’s inspired weddings are popping up everywhere. Not only are stationery and styling adding the “Gatsby” look to people’s wedding days but entertainment is also adding to the feel with swing bangs keeping guests on the dance floor long into the night. Brides opting for the 1930’s look are opting for vintage style head pieces rather than traditional veils.
5. FIT FOR A PRINCESS
Thanks to the likes of Kate Middleton’s stunning gown, brides are still opting for a more traditional look again this year. Lace, lace and more lace is making a huge comeback as well as the addition of three quarter sleeves to a once preferred strapless dress.
