The Wedding Feast: to be shared, to be enjoyed, to encourage conversation, to be plentiful, to be tasty!

What is more heart warming than friends and family sharing a meal to celebrate a newly wed couple 🧡

To Graze, Or Not To Graze 🧀

The ever popular ‘grazing station’ - this beast from the wedding of M&G at Coed Weddings and Events on Saturday was 4m of Ham | Piccalilli | Frittata | Sausage Rolls | Pork Pie | Savoury Scones | Cheese Boards | Crackers & Chutney | Falafel | Za’atar topped Hummus | Bread Rolls | Raw Slaw’ and Vegan Potato Salad 🤩

The glass is perfectly upright & level, we applaud this man 🤩

The effort we put in to our wedding set ups and drinks stations all seems worth it now we’ve seen the care taken with every beverage 👏🏼

At A&J’s wedding in Noah’s Pond with Curated Canvas on Saturday, we provided our Kilner Jars of ‘Stinging Nettle’ (Sparkling elderflower, lime, cucumber & mint) to keep guests hydrated in the Summer sun 🍋‍🟩
