Let’s talk centrepieces…

Florals are by far the most common but we’re seeing a swing towards “green” weddings that don’t have resource exhaustive natural florals.

Here are my top tips:

Double check the size of your table before deciding your centrepieces. Not all tables are the same size, generally round banquet tables seat up to 8 or 12, and long style tables can be anywhere from 90cm to 1.5m wide. Make sure you’re also aware of what food options your guests will have, as a low and large centrepiece doesn’t suit shared style or plastered food.

How do you want to fill the space? Tall centrepieces with a low ceiling marquee will make the space feel smaller and crowded, whereas a high ceiling bodes well to a taller centrepiece. The concept of a banquet table is to have guests able to chat and see each other, and centrepieces can, quite literally, stand in the way of that.

When you choose your colours, choose 3 or less. Your centrepiece doesn’t have to embody your entire colour scheme, but should tie the theme together as the main piece of decor.

Some venues will set these up for you, but most suppliers will do so anyway - if you can have pictures of what you want ready to go, then you can rest assured everything will be smooth.

Wedding Cakes are no longer just white marzipan and fruit cake... here are just a few of the cakes I’ve seen at weddings over the past year. Generally, cakes are done in 3 ways.

1. A tiered cake that is all real and gets cut and served to guests.
2. A tiered cake with a real layer for guests to eat and foam layers around it.
3. A foam cake with one real slice for the happy couple to cut and either no cake is served, a slab cake is provided behind the scenes to be served or no cake is served.

Something to note, depending on your chosen venue, is that you’ll likely be charged whether you have a cake or not. Cakeage is charged if cake is served and most venues will cut the cake (they’re harder to cut than you’d think!) and serve it with cream. Cakeage averages $2.50pp. Cakeage is not usually charged if you have chosen an alternative option like doughnuts or cupcakes. If you choose to forgo dessert and serve cake instead, you’ll also likely be charged for this as venues need to keep all cost per heads similar for all events. This can be up to and over $10pp, on top of what you pay for the cake.

Not the kind of wake you’d expect but a wonderful send off and celebration of life for a young person.

We’re seeing a change in the way funerals and wakes are conducted with a shift towards celebration and acknowledgment rather than keeping it all inside.
