It’s that time of year again, Wimbledon is here!

by

It’s that wonderful occasion when we all get together for the classically British tournament that was formed in 1868, can you believe it?

Some of us will be glued to the television (the radio, or constantly checking updates online) for results, or are you the unfortunate one left sighing in the corner with your battle for the TV remote firmly lost.

Whether you’re a fan of Wimbledon, or not, we are pretty confident that most of you like to indulge in the classic Wimbledon related goodies which come along with the sport!

You don’t have to enjoy tennis to sneak in some traditional Wimbledon strawberries and cream, right?

Well, we can go one step further and show you our fabulous eton mess to awaken the chef within you:

and here’s our classic raspberry mousse dessert:

to help you get inspired for the Wimbledon week!

We love the Summer, it’s that season when all those juicy red berries are ripe, and the British strawberry is at its best! Just perfect for some tennis treats!

So why not experiment with more complex sweet desserts and really get into the wimbledon spirit? Invite the family round, friends, even the neighbours and let’s spread that Wimbledon spirit together! Let’s get creative:

C’mon Murray!

WE WON AT THE COUNTY BRIDES NORTHWEST AWARDS!

by

Thank you so much! Here at Vanilla in Allseasons it has been an incredibly busy, but brilliantly exciting week!

We had been looking forward to to the County Brides North West Wedding Awards at Heaton House Farm for some time now. We were thrilled to cater the event, and proud to be nominated for the award, “The Best Outside Catering Business”.

Although, this did add slightly more pressure for us on the night, we must admit! But, even with all the excitement and nerves it really was a fantastic evening!

Nevertheless, all this went in our favour as we can happily announce that we won!

It felt brilliant to retain our title as, “The Best Outside Catering Business”, we are very proud!

First of all we’d like to give a very big thank you to everyone who voted for us! The support we have received over the years has been incredible and it feels wonderful to hold on to our title for another year!

Also, it is important to us to work with local business as to support our local area. So a big thank you goes out to all of our suppliers!

It’s wonderful to work in an industry surrounded by businesses who are all driven with such passion for what they do, and that was really shone through on the night of the ceremony.

See you next year!

Thankyou from Will & Amelia

One thing we really love about working within the wedding industry is the opportunity to
get to know our clients during a very important time in their lives, and hear lots of
wonderful personal stories.

Recently we catered for the beautiful wedding of Amelia & Will, who had the most brilliant proposal story.

Back in 2012, Amelia decided to take advantage of the leap year, to pop the question to unsuspecting boyfriend
Will in the maze at Speke Hall.

Will was under the impression that he was testing a new maze designed for children.

He was instructed to gather seven bags along the way, each containing two letters which he had to rearrange
at the end. It then came as a huge surprise when the letters spelled out Will you marry me?

Amelia, 29, said: “I just wanted to be quite imaginative and different. “I made it something he’d have to
work out so the pretense was kept up for as long as possible.

“I was really nervous, it was obviously something we had discussed and both wanted but I was nervous about
his reaction.I was delighted when he said yes. He was completely shocked, and couldn’t believe we’d all
managed to keep it a secret!”

“I just knew it was a once-in-a-four year chance and thought why not seize the moment and ask him myself?”
Will said he had actually planned to propose to Amelia during a holiday this summer but was still delighted
she had popped the question first.
Will said: “I’m not usually lost for words but I certainly was, it was brilliant. I only wish I had come up
with something so creative and imaginative.

What a brilliant story! we loved hearing it, and we loved looking after this gorgeous couple on their wedding day.
