Royal Wedding Celebration

Thursday, 14 April 2011

Everybody loves a wedding!  Everybody loves a royal wedding!  And fans world wide are counting down the days till Prince William weds his bride-to-be Catherine Middleton on April 29th 2011.

Although the royal wedding is taking place at Westminster Abbey in London, there is no reason to miss out as it is being televised globally.  In fact, this wedding expected to break all previous viewing records to become the most watched programme in television history.

So for all you royal fans that did not get an invite, the next best thing would be to hold your own wedding celebrations.  Invite a few friends over for a wedding party on the evening of Friday 29th and enjoy the celebrations on television.

If it just the girl's, why not indulge in a traditional English High Tea?  Serve guests dainty finger sandwiches with a selection of fillings.  Some of our favourites include salmon, cucumber and cream cheese; smoked chicken, watercress and avocado; or roast beef, cheese and horseradish.  Finger sandwiches match perfectly with our recipe for Cocktail Quiches.  Cinnamon Honey Scones are a must, served with jam and freshly whipped cream and don't forget Coffee Kisses, Creamy Coffee Truffles, Brandy Baskets with Vanilla Creme and Pear and Ginger Streusel Cake.  Serve everything on your prettiest china alongside a big vase of scented flowers.   Make sure when cutting up your delights you keep your serving sizes dainty to keep with the theme.

If you are inviting friends and family over for a right royal party, try some of these tantalising recipes that are perfect for entertaining, great for feeding a hungry crowd and are sure to impress:
