Aliciouswedding: Our quick yet wonderful “honeydays”
We were fully aware that we would be in serious need of recovery after our wedding. The weeks leading up to this very special event had been strenuous and even the day before it was after 8 pm when I ate for the first time since breakfast – because there simply hadn’t been time for it earlier.

Aliciouswedding: Vegan food fit for a wedding
Give me your little finger and I’ll gently tug at your arm.
No, I’m joking. I’ll actually rip it off clean. Continue reading Aliciouswedding: Vegan food fit for a wedding
Aliciouswedding: Aperitiv and bride & groom cocktails (alcohol-free)
The fact that we were going to have a vegan wedding went down well with most of our guests. Most of them had assumed as much.

Aliciouswedding: Let’s talk about the food, baby
Long after your wedding guest will have forgotten about the music you spent sleepless nights picking, the meticulous balance of colours in your decorations and how your papeterie – from save the date- to thank you-cards fit together – they will still remember one thing about your wedding: the food.
