We love an intimate home wedding - especially one with spectacular views!!.
This wedding had splashes of elegance and plenty of quirk - exactly the way we like it! Check out the specially commissioned cake highlighting one of the groom's obsession with all things dragons!For the menu, I wanted to create something elegant yet not too over the top to radiate the look and feel of what our clients were aiming for with their wedding.
