Ideas on Wedding Cakes

At Home Wedding Cake.
A towering, sugar-flower-heaped wedding cake seems out of place at a quiet, at-home wedding. Trade it in for several small, simple cakes displayed on cute cake stands.
Leftovers.
Tie a ribbon around your top layer when you stick it in the freezer―that way you won't mistake it for leftovers. Constantly opening and resealing the cake could cause it to spoil.

Size Does Matter.
Order a square wedding cake to save money. It'll yield more slices than a traditional round one

Layers are sinking!.
If your wedding cake starts to suffer on a hot summer day, immediately put it in the reception site's freezer or on ice. The chill will firm it right up.

How much cake do you really need?
Not every guest will eat cake at your wedding. Some will leave before the cake-cutting, others will be on a diet. If you're inviting 175 people, you'll probably only need a cake that serves 150.

Deliver the Cake.
To avoid a delivery charge, assign someone to pick up the cake rather than having your baker do it. Ask which designs are easiest to transport and set up, and if she'll pack it up for you.

Hints & Tips on your Wedding Dress...

Here are some hints and tips for all brides who are at the stage of Wedding Dress shopping!

Make sure your dress is a tight fit―especially if it's silk, a material that will stretch as you wear it. No bride wants to tug at her bodice all night long.

Give an all-white wedding dress a splash of color by tying a bright sash around your waist

Monogram your name, your fiancé's name, and your wedding date on a blue satin ribbon that you'll sew to the inside of your wedding dress.

If you want the most decorative bang for the buck, choose a gown embellished with glass beads instead of break-the-bank crystals.

For some Old Hollywood glamour, opt for a wedding dress with a dropped waist—it's a current favorite among body-conscious brides.

Got girls with different figures? The most flattering dress style for any body type is the strapless A-line.

If you’re tall, curvy, or long-waisted, an hourglass-shaped gown (also called a mermaid or fit-and-flair silhouette) is a showstopping pick.

If you are having trouble deciding among wedding dresses, here is some good advise: “Consider which dress suits your personality and style. How do you feel when you wear the dress? Is it YOUR dream dress?.”
