Engagement rings are designed to be worn with other rings. The concept is taken a step further in 2020 with two or more bands worn on either side of the engagement ring. Complementing the ring with additional new rings that feature contemporary diamond cuts can enhance a traditional cut ring, giving a more dynamic layered look that is very playful. Mixing diamonds with different shapes and sizes, makes for a mesmerizing, and playful choice.

Trends in cake designs often follow trends in fashion and interiors. With that in mind we can expect to see big colour and crochet style influences using piped royal icing. Stone, concrete and rough surfaces complement the delicacy of the cake creation. The 2020 wedding food trends are all about creating an incredible dining experience with a menu thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reflective of the couple themselves. Well-crafted food experience within their wedding budget, that is locally sourced, interesting and dietary conscious.
