What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of my favorite personal touches I've seen at a wedding was when a couple incorporated a "memory table" to honor loved ones who couldn't be there. They displayed framed photos and mementos, creating a heartfelt tribute that resonated with guests. Alongside the table, they included handwritten notes sharing special memories and anecdotes about each person. This thoughtful gesture not only added a sentimental element to the celebration but also fostered a sense of connection among guests, reminding everyone of the enduring bonds of love and family.

What’s your favourite canapé?
One of my favorite canapés is the smoked salmon blini. This delightful bite-sized treat features a light, fluffy blini topped with creamy dill-infused crème fraîche and a slice of rich, smoky salmon. The combination of flavors is simply irresistible—the savory, smoky taste of the salmon pairs perfectly with the tangy creaminess of the crème fraîche, while the blini provides a subtle sweetness and a soft texture. Garnished with fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon, it’s a sophisticated and elegant choice that never fails to impress at any event.

There's something so comforting about the creamy, rich chocolate flavor combined with the delightful crunch of cookie dough bits. I love to scoop it into a bowl, letting it soften just a bit while I settle in for a late-night movie or a cozy book. The sweetness of the ice cream paired with the nostalgic taste of fresh-baked cookies creates the perfect indulgence. It’s a little slice of happiness that makes the quiet hours of the night feel extra special.
