The Wedding Cake

A wedding is never complete without a wedding cake. Whether it’s a simple or multi layered cake, it is an essential part of the big day. Just like other important aspects of the wedding you need to take your time and decide on your preferences for this delicious culinary piece of art.

When choosing the wedding cake, you need to make sure to match it with your wedding theme, the overall trend and your personal style as a couple. Traditional cake designs will never go out of style, so don’t worry if you or your partner decided on a multi-tiered cake.

The wedding preparation process can be exhausting sometimes, but when it comes to choosing the wedding cake, you’re going to have plenty of fun. Nevertheless, it is advisable to start your search by looking at as many cake pictures as possible.

You probably already have a favorite bakery shop; contact them to make sure they make wedding cakes, schedule for an appointment so that they can be ready with the look book and even cake samples, then you can go over the options, choose the filling and right icing, and do a lot of tasting to find your perfect cake. Remember, your cake doesn’t only need to look nice, but also taste really good to you and your guests.

There is a new trend these days, which is using really bold colors for the cake, brides are going with bright purple, green and even blue to match their wedding theme or style. Cake toppers are also popular in addition to a sparkling touch of crystal monogram cake toppers. With a talented cake artist, the options are endless.

The cupcake trend is a really nice option in my opinion, the overall look of the cake is very attractive, and you don’t have to worry about the cutting and serving ritual.

As always, have fun and bon appétit!

Purple Weeding Theme

For passionate, creative brides who love to color outside the line, purple is a very good choice. The large scale of purple shades will accommodate any skin tone and can meet every bride’s taste.

Purple is the color of good judgment and symbolizes dignity, tolerance, spirituality and royalty. If you plan to have a purple based wedding theme, here are a few ideas to help you out:

Let’s start with the wedding invitations; the design of the invitation is becoming less and less traditional and more reflective of the couple's personality these days, so perhaps you could think about a purple envelope, purple liner or even purple ink!

For decorations and flowers, you will have a wide range of options to choose from as there are many shades of purple flowers, and more colors that go really well with it.

You might need to check with your florist on the locally available purple flowers to make sure you don’t pay higher prices for shipment. Using light colors like white and pink will bring out the colors of the bouquets and wedding arrangements. Purple weddings can include flowers like freesias, gladioli, tulips, deep purple roses, Wisteria and Hibiscus to state a few.

For your bridesmaids, you can choose a dress that is of lighter purple shades than your main theme with sashes of white or other contrasting colors. Another option would be to use silver or gray bridesmaids dresses with purple accessories and shoes.

For the groom and best man, different shades of purple will look lovely on a tie or vest. You can also use other colors like silver, cream and even brown for the vests with some minor introduction of purple in the form of cuff links and ties.

The combination of colors that include purple shades are really vast, so if you are a fan of the color, you will enjoy the wedding preparation greatly.
