Real Flower Confetti

When we got married (over 10 years ago) we wondered beforehand if the vicar would allow us to have confetti thrown outside the church. At the time, it wasn't a problem and our family and friends threw handfuls of paper confetti.

Nowadays however, paper confetti is often frowned upon and sometimes is not allowed. But don't worry! The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company offers a fantastic, completely natural, superior alternative. Using a wide range of flower petals including:

• Delphinium
• Hydrangea
• Rose
• Skeleton leaves

confettidirect.co.uk have a great, unique product that also solves the problem of paper confetti - flower petals are of course biodegradable.

Wedding Cheese Cake

The discerning cheese merchants Paxton and Whitfield have come up with an unusual idea for a wedding cake. It's a cheese cake, not an american style cheese cake, but one that is made of layers of cheese such as cheddar, cheshire and specialist regional cheeses such as Yarg from Cornwall.

Decorated with seasonal fruits and nuts these cakes are certainly different and make a change from the more traditional fruit cake covered in Royal icing.

For a completely unique cake why not plonk your very own handmade cake topper on the top too!
