Dreaming of hazy summer days? What could be better for a chilled outdoor wedding than picnic hampers filled with mouthwatering treats?
Hampshire-based expert Alexandra Bishop, owner of bespoke cake and catering company The Pastry Corner says, "Picnic hampers offer a laid-back experience, allowing guests to eat at their leisure throughout the day. A great ice-breaker, they also help friends and family to mix and mingle and get the conversation flowing.
"Like any other summer picnic in this country, the weather can't be guaranteed, however this style of catering can work just as well in an indoor setting like a barn or marquee."

She says, "This large design is made without floral foam, another really big choice for sustainable, plastic-free and ethical wedding flowers and decorations."
