I got together with an awesome bunch of wedding suppliers and we worked together to style Inkersall Grange Farm wedding teepee for their autumn open day, where you can also have an outdoor ceremony. I had been here once before for Hannah and Ben’s wedding so I had an idea of how gorgeous, spacious and unique this venue was.
The lovely Hannah and Ben had a wonderful church wedding in Nottingham followed by a reception at Inkersall Grange Farm on Nottingham’s outskirts.
Your wedding cake is usually a centrepiece of your wedding day and probably the most expensive cake you will purchase ever, so it would be a little bit sad if it was stuck in a dark corner somewhere, out of sight of you and your guests!
“Couples planning their wedding day want every detail to be perfect and for the icing on the cake, The Sweet Stuff really delivers as Nottingham’s coolest wedding cake supplier.”
Earlier this year I got to work with some of my favourite wedding suppliers yet again on a fantastic inspiration shoot based around Pantone’s Colour of the Year - Ultra Violet.
Julia and Dmitrii are a very cute and kind couple who were super enthusiastic about planning their wedding. They came to me ultra prepared with lots of ideas at hand. Their brief was to create a modern but elegant wedding cake that would stun their guests…
Last year I predicted that semi-naked cakes - cakes covered with a bit more buttercream than the naked cakes would become hugely popular and I quickly lost count with how many of them I had enquiries for and actually made throughout 2017.
Planning your wedding comes with a roller coaster of emotions. From sheer excitement right through to worrying how on earth you’re actually going to have the time to get everything done! That and the worry of knowing what you actually need to be doing and when.
Newlyweds Emily and Andy married at the stunning Hazel Gap Barn in North Nottinghamshire where the venue is enrobed by rolling countryside. Their wedding photography by Sarah-Jane Ethan is really beautiful and captures the summer light and beauty of the venue in a mix of full colour and black and white.
Alex and Fraser saw one of my wedding cake designs in 'Brides' magazine (Feb/ March 2017) that they fell in love with and got in touch with me about their celebration in London in September 2017. As an out of town couple we worked via email and chatted on the phone about their big day.
London city dwellers Chloe and Tom chose the beautiful West Mill for their wedding venue as Tom had played there with his band We Are Bond Street when it had just opened and loved it. Having now visited myself, I can see why so many couples have fallen in love with the venue and why it was Chloe and Tom's top choice.
Having worked in the world of weddings for three years now I have learned so much and met so many incredibly talented wedding industry suppliers who make such stunning work. It's really useful for engaged couples that are planning their weddings to pass on a list of suppliers that I love and trust to them so here are a very special bunch!
"We've consulted our little white book and trawled social media to bring you our hottest style predictions for 2018".
Wild, wild thoughts! Wow, wow, wow! These images are stunning, the colouring and the vast location are everything! Magda K Photography conceived the idea of earthy, runaway brides and along with the other suppliers, took this editorial style wedding inspiration shoot to the peak district for an elopement wedding.
I absolutely love to share wedding photos from my client's big days to show how everything fits together with the cake, wedding inspiration and just how beautiful the whole end result really can be...
It's always so difficult choosing a small selection of images to share on a blog post and Charlotte Jopling's images of Joe and Ally's wedding was no exception. Charlotte's photography is crisp, really picks up the details as well as making colours pop but it's also really natural and just beautiful too.
George and Kasia were really easy to work with as they knew exactly what they wanted. The brief was a naked cake filled with buttercream and jam, decorated with fresh seasonal fruit and dusted with icing sugar. The wedding was to be a relaxed picnic style day at Goosedale - the venue with the views.
So you're planning your wedding - congratulations on your engagement! You have wedding dreams, a Pinterest board or ten (with a zillion pins on each), a potential colour palette. You have followed dozens of wedding suppliers on instagram but you have no idea how to pull the whole look together or where to get those copper centrepieces you've seen! Who you gonna call?!
With 70's boho-chic vibes, plush foliage and copper metallics this styled shoot, the idea of photographer Madga K had my creative mind working in overdrive! The end result is #weddinggoals!
This Spring I visited Barcelona for a week and enjoyed so much that it has on offer. I took my DSLR along with me and captured some beautiful views, beautiful light and just had a brilliant time.
Quirky alternative wedding photographer Becky Ryan invited me to take part in a styled shoot based on a Palm Springs, retro, kitsch style.
Make Up artist Josephine Way invited me to take part in an ethereal, enchanted, atmospheric, effortlessly cool wedding shoot that bought a muted pastel colour palette and nature together.

2017 is set to be an exciting year for The Sweet Stuff with wedding cakes booked all the way up to December 31st.
We are so proud this week as we have been included recently in several notable wedding publications, both online and in print. Brides Magazine UK, Brides.com Online USA and You and Your Wedding Magazine UK.
Suzanne and Andy's wedding celebration was organised in just three weeks after plans at their original venue fell through.
2016 has been a great year for The Sweet Stuff. It started with new branding and a website that continues to evolve as my portfolio grows. I have been fortunate to collaborate with around 20 couples this year to produce their wedding cakes, dessert tables and favours.

t’s been almost a year since I went to Los Angeles, almost as long since I intended to blog about it but I didn’t quite find the time, hopefully I can remember all of the important details! This is a great place to honeymoon too, if you are looking for some inspiration.
