1. I love serving a cocktail or a fruity punch. It is a great way to kick off any event. From the EDFD cocktail menu I love – Red Tracksuit (vodka, Aperol, Italian blood orange, twist of lime). Image via Ed Dixon Food Design

2. A grazing table piled high with wheels of cheese, crusty bread, salami, a big glazed ham, grapes, nuts and anything else delicious that I can find in the fridge. Image via Ed Dixon Food Design

3. As an event manager my favourite moment at a wedding is when everyone hits the dance floor with big smiles, a belly full of delicious food ready to relax and celebrate. Image by Lauren Marshall, LJM Photography via Anelise & Brad’s Balloon Filled Wedding

4. A bunch of peonies! There’s just something about them.
