Last Thursday The Little Wedding Helper organised a fantastic event with At Bristol called Fly Me To The Moon. It brought together many talented local wedding businesses to celebrate the thriving wedding industry in Bristol.



Guests arrived to a star themed reception featuring a yummy bespoke candy buffet from Sweet & Pretty (above) with space themed sweets like milky ways, magic stars, flying saucers and wham bars. There was also a stunning star and moon themed cake by Chocolate Delores, star shaped biscuits by Bellevue Bakery, lollipop favours by Piece of Cake and delicious cupcakes scattered with stars by 180 desgress and rising.




Emma Norton provided some prety floral centrepieces in mercury vases and award winning magician Darren Campbell wowed the guests with some close hand magic. The Marionettes were on hand to perform whilst people mingled, chatted and sampled the delights on offer. Guests also has the chance to strike a pose in the fun photo booth set up by Fishee Designs.






A real highlight of the evening was a visit to the planetarium for the Winter Night Sky show and it is also fully licenced for civil ceremonies, allowing couples to marry under the stars. At Bristol has a great range of spaces available for wedding ceremonies and receptions as well as a large terrace overlooking the city centre.

Candy buffets and dessert tables are still one of the most popular new trends for 2012 weddings as they add loads of nostalgic fun to the occasion for guests as well as looking, smelling and tasting fantastic.

  

Local company Bristol Candy Buffet has had numerous wedding bookings this summer and is expecting 2013 to be even busier.

She sent a glowing testimonial to the company, recommending their services to other brides.

                                 

"Thank you for the excellent display that you did for our wedding on the 8th June. The sweets went down a treat and at times there was quite a queue!!! Luckily me and Stu got to taste a few. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services. I wish you all the best for the future and thanks again. "
