Q What is your advice on planning an intimate wedding?
A Rachel Terrett says: Treat your guests like VIPs. Smaller guest numbers offer the opportunity to go all out with an exquisite setup. When choosing a venue, make sure it isn't too big that you risk the tables feeling lost in the space. Consider impactful table layouts that fill the room and allow everyone to feel connected. Adding in beautiful lounge furniture helps to dress the space too and will be enjoyed during cocktail hour for a relaxed sophisticated vibe.

When planning an intimate tablescape, I advise going big and impactful with plenty of flowers and candles to really dress the space and elevate the room. Adding personalised notes at place settings is a wonderful, thoughtful way to tell your chosen guests how important they are to you. Go all out if you can on the finest food and drinks for your favourite people to enjoy.

With entertainment, if you don't plan to have additional evening guests, you may want to consider a relaxed roaming band that can follow from dinner rather than feeling the pressure of filling a big dancefloor – think chilled Ibiza vibes.
