As radiant as your smile, your Bridal bouquet is an important part of your Wedding Day! The flowers you carry reflect your style and personality….bold and beautiful or soft and sensuous, the choice is yours and the options almost endless.

Begin gathering bouquet ideas as soon as you’ve chosen your Wedding Dress.  Hand-tied is a favorite, hands down!  Fabulous ribbon wrapped around the stems completes the look.  There’s even an opportunity for including family heirloom pins.

What color are the Bridesmaids dresses?  What are the accent colors for your Wedding Theme? Bold colors are definitely in right now;  vibrant shades are everywhere and can easily be carried through your floral decor.

Share your ideas with your florist; an experienced professional will listen to your desires and offer suggestions.

If parting with your Bridal bouquet isn’t an option, consider having your florist make a “Toss Bouquet” for you as well.

Wedding Cake – Plan Early

Your wedding cake should be high on the list of decisions to be made early. Having the cake of your dreams can happen easily!

Perhaps not the most romantic part of selecting your wedding cake, timing and budget are key considerations.

Experienced wedding cake designer, Kelly Smith of KellyKakes offers this advice,  “You should book your wedding cake 6-8 months out to ensure that your favorite cake designer is available.  Word spreads quickly when one finds a great cake designer and nobody wants to settle for 2nd choice for their big day!”  www.kellykakes.com

Design details, size and style will affect the cost. Kelly recommends, “Know your cake budget as soon as possible, so the cake designer can work with you in creating the ideal wedding cake that fits within your budget.”

Your wedding cake will be featured in many photos as a beautiful and important part of your wedding reception. You’ll be happy you chose your cake designer early in the process!

Simply Beautiful Flowers

These simple – yet so beautiful – flowers decorated the Get Married Studios  www.getmarried.com for the Andy Ebon Workshop  www.WeddingMarketing.net I attended this week.  They just shout wedding or bridal shower!  The bright pink and orange signature colors more than pop when repeated in the jewel-like stones in the vase and the hand-tied sheer ribbon.  It’s all in the details!

Selecting Your Wedding Cake

Let them eat cake!  A delicious work-of-culinary-art perfectly matched to your wedding theme. Such an important part of your wedding reception, your wedding cake has a place of honor – a table of its very own, beautifully decorated.

Artist-turned-cake-designer, Kelly  Smith  of KellyKakes  agrees:  “The wedding cake is very important because it’s the centerpiece.  No one realizes how many times the wedding cake shows up in your wedding photographs!” Think  of the photos that will feature your wedding cake – the Bride and Groom’s hands as they cut the first slice;  feeding each other a bite; the lists goes on.

As you plan your wedding, carefully consider the cake design you choose. “This is a very personal choice; the wedding cake reflects the bride’s personal style!  After all, this day is all about you!  Looking through some magazines will help you see what you like and don’t like.” says Kelly.

Working with a professional cake designer, you will be able to blend all of the elements of your wedding – the colors, the theme – into the spectacular centerpiece you’ve imagined.

Wine & Flowers

Let the party begin!  Flowers – even at the bar – add a romantic mood to your wedding celebration.

Your bridal bouquet will set the tone for the flowers for your wedding.  After the ceremony, bouquets still play a beautiful part. Bridesmaids’ bouquets can also double as table centerpieces at the reception, while the Bride’s bouquet often graces the cake table.

With so many floral options, start with considering your gown.  An all white bouquet of calla lilies and roses would be the most formal. Think of this delicate, white display as an accessory to an elegant wedding gown.

A bouquet with all one flower choice can also incorporate color.  Think of hydrangeas or lilies or gerbera  daisies, multiple blooms with minimal greenery. These are lovely when hand-tied with ribbon or chiffon. With an intricate, detailed gown, this bouquet’s simplicity will complement nicely.

If your dress is somewhat casual, and the setting outdoors, a great choice would be wildflowers. Colorful with lots of texture, this bouquet captures the best of the surroundings and your wedding style.
