Sam and Callam first met online and their first date was one to Starbucks. This was followed by a walk around a Northamptonshire Christmas market, where Callam inadvertently ended up meeting nearly all of Sam's family and friends – talk about being thrown in the deep end! But their connection survived the ultimate intro, and their relationship has gone from strength to strength. When it came to popping the question, it was all about acting on the moment as it was presented. Sam had ordered Callam's ring to their home, and understandably, expected the packaging to be small and discreet. When two large Vera Wang boxes arrived with Sam's name on it, and nowhere in the house to hide them, he decided that then and there would be the moment they get engaged. Sam got on one knee, on the landing in front of their home office, with Callam in his dressing gown (with his work headset on), and asked Callam to spend forever with him.

Q - We love the current trend of Lambeth-style wedding cakes! We've only really seen the design on single-layer cakes and we would like a tiered design; will this style work on multiple layers?

Rachel and Graham, of Regency Cakes, says: Absolutely, the Lambeth piping looks great as a multi-tiered wedding cake as you can choose different styles of piping for each tier. It has become popular on heart-shaped cakes but works well on round or even square designs. It can be piped on buttercream cakes or iced cakes, but the level of intricate detail can be higher with an iced finish.

Shoot coordinator, Chloe Edwards at renowned Norfolk wedding venue Applewood Hall, believes your wedding should be as unique as your love story; so created this styled shoot to highlight the venue's potential for all themes and genres. “With our venue being a blank canvas, we offer a space where creativity and individuality can take centre stage,” shares Chloe. “The theme of this styled shoot worked perfectly in showcasing how bold and quirky can work so well in our versatile venue and provides inspiration to couples looking for a more alternative choice for styling and their wedding day overall.

“Electric Romance involved colours that are usually seen to clash with one another, bright neon tones, funky retro stripe prints, and disco vibes. I had seen eye-catching colours being mixed with vintage styles as a popular trend in both home décor and fashion, and that it was filtering into wedding inspiration, so bringing this playful styled shoot together was a labour of love as this style is a personal favourite!” – enjoy!
