“We wanted a very simple reception, a stand up style party with lots of dancing and food, we had rotating food stations starting with high tea with scones, biscuits and macaroons and as the night progressed a more savoury vegetarian/fish style standing buffets of dishes such as home-cured gravlax and salmon pastrami, sashimi salads with ponzu dressing and cones of fresh fried ffish and chips – all our faves.”ish and chips – all our faves.”

LIFE IMITATES ART: MONET-INSPIRED BRIDESMAIDS

Monet has always been one of my favourite artists. In fact when I was in Year Three, I tried to paint myself into one of his artworks. And before you start thinking I’m crazy, it was for a school project where we were asked to do a self portrait. Sadly, my teacher didn’t think it was very creative to copy“reproduce” a masterpiece and then just add myself to it… so I added a few blotchy ducks and patted myself on the back.
