Our favorite way to bring personality into your wedding day

 
 

I have worked with many couples who design and plan BEAUTIFUL and traditional weddings. I am always THRILLED when the couples pick out design details that really set them apart and highlight their personalities. That’s why I LOVE IT when the bride secretly sends me a separate email after our wedding cake consultation to order her groom a cake that is allllll him!  A GROOM’S CAKE!!! Yes there is nothing more fun than a 4 tier white wedding cake with cascading flowers next to a Red Bull cake… or a pizza cake or a donut cake!

If you read my post about the tradition of the cake cutting moment you remember that originally the wedding cake was referred to as ‘The Brides Cake’ as she would cut it and serve it to her guests. As guest totals grew my girl needed help serving all that cake! And so eventually dude would help her. Obviously now our caterers and event staff are helping us with that part, but the wedding cake is still traditionally white.

On your wedding day things are so hectic, it is such a nice reminder that after all, this is for BOTH OF YOU!
