PLANNING A WEDDING – CHECKLISTS
Planning a wedding is a big job… you have to turn into a project manager – sort the marquee, power, water, furniture, fridge trailer, drink, ice, parking, never mind the dress or the honeymoon.

THE KEMP AND KEMP WEDDING!

ITALIAN INSPIRED WEDDING FOOD
Rustic peasant Italian is one of Karen’s main food loves.

This is why she especially loves Italian Inspired Wedding […]
THE LOCAL TART COMPANY
