Wedding Cake - It's Personal

Wedding cakes have become more personal. We are seeing more creative custom designs and flavors. It's so exciting. Not only is it the shape or the idea of the cake that's changing, it's the flavor of the cake as well. Gone are the brandy heavy fruit cakes of the past. You've got all kinds of flavors now!

To be honest, I love how almost everything, actually EVERYTHING in, or about your wedding can be customized to suit your tastes and personality.

Check out these non-traditional wedding cakes I found:

Wedding Flower Budget

If there's one item on your wedding budget your fiance probably cannot understand or belittles, it's your flower budget. He probably doesn't understand why you have to pay so much for something that will "just die".

Well, sadly, a lot of people, other than a fellow bride-to-be, and your wedding vendors will understand the importance of having flowers at your wedding. That's okay, you're not crazy.

If your favorite flower is too expensive, consider just using your favorite flower in your bouquet, and on your table only. Choose a more affordable and complementary flower for the rest of the decor and bridesmaids. A good florist will be happy to come up with alternative options.

I could stare at flowers and pictures of flowers all day. I LOVE flowers [insert girliest shriek here].

Check out these gorgeous free flowing and loosely structured bouquets. Aren't they lovely?

Soft Whites

Soft whites are timeless and classic. Choosing a color palette for your wedding can be a daunting task. If you're afraid of committing to a color or too much color, go with soft whites and creams. You can never go wrong.

Ceremony Decor

Walking down the aisle is something special. There's a feeling you get when you take that walk towards your soon to be husband, with a sea of loved ones and close friends looking over you. It's indescribable...it's really quite something special. I know some brides opt to elope or go for a court wedding, which is absolutely what love is all about...doing it your own way. You must and at all times love the way you love. There's no wrong or right way of celebrating your love. 

Anyway my dears, I thought I would share ceremony set-ups that I'm just dying over. Check these out:

Pretty Plates

I remember a time when I thought a floral pattern was dated and stuffy. Just looking at a floral print cushion would give me a headache. Fast forward to the last few years in my life, I've come to LOVE floral patterns. There's something so feminine and pretty about them :)

I come across a lot of  things every now and then that I want to share with you all. Sometimes I remember to share them, and sometimes I'm so swarmed I forget to. Today I want to share with you a very common trend that makes me happy; pretty floral pattern plates. Aren't they magnificent!?
