Q: Wedding cake options?
So i was wondering whats your opinions on wedding cakes.

Do you like the tradition kind with about 3-5tiers and a bride & groom on top?
For example – http://adaofcourse.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/traditional-wedding-cake2.jpg

Do you like a traditional wedding cake with a few tiers and flowers not bride and groom?
For example – http://www.wedding-flowers-and-reception-ideas.com/images/wedding-cake-flowers-03.jpg

Do you like a modern wedding cake with tiers and a bride and groom?
For example – http://farm1.static.flickr.com/144/367263532_4e713ff6d0.jpg

Do you like a modern wedding cake with iced flowers or decorations?
For example – http://whiskingwords.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/wedding_cake_corner1.jpg

Do you like the cupcake / fairy cakes look with about 20 small cakes and 1 big one?
For example – http://www.apieceofcake.com.au/images/wedding/wedding_square_individual_cakes.jpg

Do you like the wedding cake with two tiers and a flower on the top?
For example – http://www.blossomweddingflowers.co.nz/p7hg_img_1/fullsize/Cake-flowers-rose_fs.jpg

Do you like the fairytale wedding look cake that’s all fantasy?
For example – http://www.theicingonthecake-ireland.com/2008pics/wedding/fairytale.jpg

Do you like the wedding cakes that have a stand and are separate cakes?
For example – http://www.weddingsvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/wedding-cake.jpg

Also, if you like any kind of other cake, what would it be? can yodon’tclude pictures,

Is it ok ifalmost a sponge filling? as i dont like fruit cake because i understand alomost every wedding cake is fruit. x
Sorry about some spellings, my laptop has a mind of its own. I was meant to say -

If i didnt list the type of cake or you would like to say a different type can you please add pictures if you can and is it ok if i have a sponge filling in my cake as most wedding cakes are fruit cakes and we dont like fruit cake. x

A: my favorite is modern with iced flowers and decorations. My wedding cake is 5 tiers, all differant sizes, blue, with little blue flowers and edible pearls and in white icing little saying are written all over the cake, like ‘Happiness, To Have and To Hold, Happily Ever After’ ,etc.

oh, and it can be wahtever filling you want. i like some fruit cakes, but i think i want Red Velvet, but i haven’t decided yet.

Q: Jane Austen-like/ Enchanted/ Nostalgiac- Themed Wedding?
I want a very affordable yet elegant wedding set in this theme. It is suppose to be nostalgiac yet modern. We are to wed in Spring aroung March or April. Please give me some ideas. I want bold colors and a very romantic mood. It is to take place outside! Please give me some ideas on colors, decorations, dresses, cake ideas, music, and overall ceremony and reception! Please help! Thank you!!!!

A: I think a combination of Jane Austen and a bit of fantasy sounds quite charming.

General notes on Regency era fashion: White was a very popular fashion color, but by no means the only one available! One glance at clothing and fashion magazines of the era reveals that there are also a great many bold colors that are perfectly correct for the period. Mustard yellow; burnt orange; deep, mossy greens; every shade of the brown family from ecru to fawn to chocolate; slate blue; cherry or garnet red; silvery greys…all of these were also popular during the period and could help you set your air of enchantment.

Flat or very low-heeled shoes, waistlines directly below the bustline, and square or rounded necklines are most appropriate. Sleeves may be short, elbow-length, or long as you prefer. Strapless was not done in the period, but tiny jackets called spencers were. If you want to go strapless but still get the right period look, add a small bolero. Then it can be removed during the reception, if you like. It was common for spencers to be a strong contrast color to the main outfit.

Here are a couple resources for the clothes you’ll need (including some men’s looks) to get the proper period look:

http://www.songsmyth.com/aboutme.html

http://www.austentation.com/Boutique/html/boutiquehome.htm

http://www.songsmyth.com/costumerscompanion.html

http://austen.com/rings.htm

Do some pretty, Regency-style costumes, add a bit of sparkle and a couple magical motifs, and you’ll have a gorgeous wedding people will talk about for decades!

Oh, and that final link is to a ring of Jane Auste/Regency websites. You should be able to find some good thoughts on food, decoration, etc. by searching a couple of the sites listed there.

Best of luck to you. I feel very sure this will be a lovely wedding.

Q: Wedding cupcakes? Need some help please =D?
I have kind of decided to skip out on traditional wedding cake for my wedding. I think tradtional cakes are really pretty, but just not for us.

My finace and i are not huge cake eaters, and disagree on flavor, but we love cupcakes. We have come up with the idea to have what is called gormet cupcakes. In these little cakes, we can have many more flavors than we would if we had a whole cake, including flavors like banana split, and it comes with all the fixing. Plus it is cheaper than a whole cake, not just in the cake itself, but cutting and serving ect. And more kid friendly, as well as diabetic friendly because it is hard to make a whole cake, or even a layer suger free.

At our semi formal modern christmas wedding, we really want to do some things different and love this idea.
However, the real question i want to know, is how would you feel if you saw cupcakes on tiers, like a wedding cake. Would you miss the whole cakey, cutting experiance and be dispointed? Or would you appreciate a desert that has all the elements of a wedding cake, but be in cupcake form? Have you been to a wedding where someone did this and what was the general reaction to it?

p.s. we have about 175 guests, so we are looking ot have about 5 different kinds of cupcakes, and the kind of cake, fillings, and toppings choices are endless!!

A: First off, congrats on your wedding! I am also having a Winter wedding (January) and doing cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake. It fits us better and I’ve loved cupcakes since I was a little girl. As many before me mentioned, I also agree it’s a good idea to have a matching smaller cake so you two can “cut the cake.” It’s tradition and it will make for great pictures. In some of my planning I came across a photo of a tiered “cupcake wedding cake” that had various sized cupcakes. It was ADORABLE and makes for something just a little different. There were your average sized cupcakes, jumbo, and bite sized. I’m planning on doing this for my Winter wedding and wanted to pass on the info…I think it will be a big crowd pleaser, as people can take as much or as little as they’d like.

Q: Need help with the wedding!?
ok well not so much as the wedding itself but more with the cake. i am always watching Amazing Wedding Cakes and other shows like that to get ideas. But with my Fiancee, he has a total different view. We are clashing here! I am more of the modern romantic so i want a cake that incorporates that but id like it to be non traditional. Now his vision is totally off the wall! He is a country boy so he wants to incorporate tractors, barns, and the whole ten yards. How in the world can we combine these two visions? I want your opinions first before we head to the cake people.

A: Here are some links of ways that I think you can put them together! Hope this helps!

Keep in mind that a cake is not a big enough deal to cause problems. It is not that big of a deal. It’s the love and the family and friends and the memories that matter. May yours be exactly what you’ve always dreamed of!

Q: Traditional tiered cake vs cup cakes?
Hi there, i’m getting married in July and we are trying to come up with our cake design. A family friend who is a professional cake maker is doing it as our wedding gift and has said we can have any design we want. I’m really struggling to decide between cupcakes or a tiered cake. I like the idea of cupcakes because i think they look more modern but i also like the idea of having a tiered cake, i don’t know what to do.

What did you have at your wedding, or if you aren’t married yet, which do you prefer?

Our colour scheme is red, white and silver so if you have any links to cakes (cupcakes or tiered) that are a funky design, i’d love to see them.

Thanks!!

A: http://weddings.theknot.com/Real-Weddings/cupcakes/results.aspx?type=3&specific_Detail=cupcakes here are some great pics of cupcake wedding cakes. they’re cute. I prefer the tiered…there’s just something so traditional about the cutting of the cake on the day, not sure how you’d do it with cupcakes. thats my personal opinion though. you guys should choose whatever reflects your relationship and attitudes. p.s love the sound of your colour scheme!

Q: What is the typical order of events for a wedding?
I’m getting married in a little less than a month, and I don’t really know how to schedule the wedding.

For the ceremony, what happens when? I mean, I know who walks down the aisle and in what order, but when does the pastor say which things? When would a couple of readings be done? Where in the ceremony might we say our vows or exchange rings? Things like that… or something I may have forgotten to include?

And for the reception. What time do we cut the cake? When would we do the Dollar Dance? We have chosen our own music and we’re having a friend be in charge of it (to save money and make sure we get what we want), so there is no real DJ to rely on to know when to do what.

The wedding isn’t super-traditional (pretty modern, I guess), so any ideas are welcome, along with the customary stuff. What did you do at your wedding? What have you seen at other weddings? I really need a whole list of every single thing, haha. Thanks!

A: This is the exact order of our wedding, it’s a Christian ceremony:

1. Processional – Whatever order you want, if you want people in height order or whatever. Many people have the guys at the front before the ceremony starts and the girls come down alone, one by one (the maid of honour comes down right before you, so she will be standing beside you).

2. Welcome from Officiant – “We are gathered here today…”

3. Prayer

4. Readings (usual from the bible) – We are having one bible reading and a beautiful secular poem that my fiance picked.

5. Gospel Reading (by priest)

6. “The Wedding”
1. The “I do”/”I will” part
2. Question of support from families .. “we do/will”
3. The vows
4. The blessing of/exchanging of rings

7. The signing of the Register (background music)
8. Prayer for the couple
9. The Blessing
10. The Kiss
11. The Introduction
12. The Recessional

It seems like a lot but it only takes about 25 minutes!

This is basically our Reception:
1. Introduction of wedding party/Bride and Groom
2. First Dance of couple (we are doing it first, many couples don’t)
3. Intro/Welcome/Thank You by MC
4. Prayer
5. Dinner! (some people start speeches throughout the courses of dinner, we will start ours before dessert)
6. Maid of Honour Speech
7. Best Man Speech
8. Parents Speeches
9. Toasts/Other speeches
10. Bride/Groom speech/thank you
11. Dances (father/daughter, son/mother)
12. Dancing starts!
13. At the first band break (after about an hour) we will have an anniversary dance
14. At the second band break (another hour) we will cut the cake and do the bouquet/garter toss
15. More dancing!

That is just what my fiance and I are doing … but there are LOTS of ways to plan out the order. If you are having a Christian ceremony there are not that many changes you can make to the order because it kind of is a traditional ceremony, so like the vows HAVE to go before the signing, etc.

Hope that helps!

Q: Can someone help me? How do you do this different things?
I’m planning a wedding. It wont be for about 2 years roughly. How do you connect a Celtic idea with a modern wedding? What all do you need? Like a list. Is it wrong to have multiple color theme? Is it wrong to have more then one cake? Is it wrong to buy jewelry from Claire’s/Icings for the Bridesmaids? What is everything that is needed? Is 5:00 pm to late at night for a wedding? Anyone know where there is a place in Smithsburg, MD or Hagerstown, MD where it is big enough to have an outdoor wedding? What are the best sites to go look at? Is it wrong to have have a the entrance music from a stereo type thing instead of a band? How many days before the wedding should you get a wax and nails done? What if you don’t have a maid/matron of honor, who should do the traditions (something blue, old, new, borrow, etc)? Is it wrong to want to walk down the isle to “Tempus Vernum” by Enya? Is it wrong to let the bridesmaids/flowergirl keep their dress, shoes, etc after the wedding?
Btw, there is no help with the wedding financially. It is all being payed for by the bride and groom.

A: Whoo…slow down! )

1. It’s not right or wrong to choose a specific theme for your wedding…it’s your wedding (and your partner’s) so, there’s no real right or wrong answer here. As for a Celtic theme, check out http://www.theknot.com. There is literally more stuff on this site than you can process in a lifetime!

2. Again, no right or wrong with choice of cake, places to shop for attendants’ gifts, etc. You know your attendants well (or you wouldn’t have asked them to be in your wedding), so it’s a personal choice. Time of day for a wedding is a personal choice, but if you’re going to be using a public place for the wedding, you would need to discuss your desired time in order to have it reserved.

3. Try looking on-line for the Smithsburg or Hagerstown Chamber(s) of Commerce. They would be able to assist you in finding the ideal location for your wedding.

4. Entrance music depends on where you’re getting married. If it’s outdoors you will be much less restricted with your choices than inside a church. Other than that, again, it’s a personal choice…no right or wrong.

5. The traditions of “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” refer to the bride and what she will be wearing. Examples could be: wedding dress (new); earrings (old); necklace (borrowed); and garter (blue). I have a friend who pinned a small blue ribbon inside her gown.

6. As for waxing, at least 48 hours prior, especially if it’s your face. You want to give your skin time to heal before applying make-up. If it’s your nether regions, talk with a professional to get his/her advice. Nails you can do the day before or the morning of…personally, I’d do the nails 1-2 days in advance, cause you’re gonna have enough other last-minute concerns.

7. With respect to attendants’ dresses, shoes etc, unless you pay for each one, they have the right to keep them, as it’s usually the attendants’ responsibility to pay for their own attire.

Hope that helps!

Q: Does this Essay sound good? It;s for my english class i’m tyring to pursuade moma to show cakes as art.?
Taste of love can be viewed through more than one persons eyes, so that would mean there is more than one way to perceive this idea. Taste of love is a modern type of art, is an expression of its own. Wedding cakes can be expressed through pain sorrow joy happiness. At some time the cake theme took a quick rise in modern culture too.
The rise of cake making is huge it wasn’t here a long time ago but, it is now. It takes time to learn how to make something that can be so beautiful and cake is just that it is beautiful
Now adays it is more accepted to have fun and make it you own then to be formal and traditional.What makes cake art is the fact that people can design a cake to become just about anything. Cake is like a big art project, it can be used to become all sorts of things. People can also use cake as a way to express themselves.
Taste of love shows what people are all about there’s something in there that shows the heat, for what they do.

A: First Paragraph: It should be “person’s” not “persons”, “type of modern art” sounds better, also remove the comma and “is” and use “and has” instead. Usually you use commas when you have a list of 3 or more similar items, which you omitted, but I think you mean “pain and sorrow or joy and happiness”.

Comment: Weddings are times of celebration for families going back thousands of years, so the use of a wedding cake is our culture’s interpretation of that happiness.

Second Paragraph: The first sentence is too similar to the last sentence of the previous paragraph. The theme of this paragraph seems to be the importance of the artistic element in wedding cakes. Full stop at the end of the paragraph.

Third paragraph: “Nowadays”, not “Now adays”, “than” not “then”, space after the full stop, “it” instead of “a cake” in the second sentence. I think you should say something like “Making a ‘Cake’ ” (with the cake in quotation marks or inverted commas to show it isn’t an ordinary cake).

Comment: “Taste of Love” sounds like the title to a book or documentary. If it is, you should say so. Don’t forget to mention the author or producer / director. Use Italics (or a similar change in writing style) to indicate this, e.g. “”A Taste of Love: A Romatic Cookbook” by Harbison and McGowan can be viewed through …” etc.

Q: alternative brides? a question for you?
i use the word alternative because i cant think of a better word at the moment. when i say alternative, i mean every bride who would gladly have her tattoos on display on her wedding day. i mean any bride who has ever seriously wanted her favorite video game characters featured somewhere on their invites or cake or something. i mean every bride who would rather have her first dance to something by avenged sevenfold than whatever the latest country love song is. i mean any bride who thinks it would be cool to have d10s, 12s, and so on, on their tables instead of confetti. im talking about every bride who honest to god would not mind if their groom wanted to cut the cake with a sword. if you fit any of those descriptions or can think of one that i missed, then this question is for you.

were you ever frustrated with the lack of wedding related websites or magazines that catered to you? because i absolutely fit into the alternative bride category. and while i do absolutely appreciate the beauty of a traditional wedding, thats just not what i want.

i find it odd. its a huge market. go to a gaming convention and look at all the happy couples running around cosplaying together. go to a metal show and watch all the couples headbanging side by side. or hell, go to an SCA event! soooo many awesome couples there. so where are our magazines and websites? yes, i DO know about offbeatbride, and i adore them. but like, just once i would like to be able to pick up a copy of Modern Bride and see some grand gothic/gamer nerd/medevil affair in the same pages as your standard traditonal wedding.

if you are an alternative bride to be, would you appreciate having more magazines and websites available to you? or if you were an alternative bride and are now a happy alternative wife, would you have used wedding magazines and websites more if they had included more alternative ideas?
im mainly asking because there are a few ideas that i have, that i have absolutely no idea how to go about getting. like my fiance wants a heavy metal looking tux. where the heck do i find that? or where can i find that? ya know? like, im not saying it needs to be a “ok, here is how your alternative wedding should be” sort of thing, but there are some things that we would like to include in our wedding that we just have no idea where to find. but all the bridal magazines out there can tell you exactly where to find your standard white foofy ballgown, or confetti that says “just married” or flip flops that say bride and groom on the bottom so you leave foot prints with words. where are the lists of stuff about where to find a guest book pen that looks like a sword? or the champagne glasses with dragons etched in them?
thank you all for your answers. i hadnt considered the fact that they might end up becoming TOO mainstream. its just something i noticed. i definately appreciate traditional weddings, so im not saying anything is wrong with them or the magazines that come with them. it would just be nice to have a few more resources readily available. because i go to the store and theres 20 magazines with cookie cutter weddings on the cover, and it just seems odd that there is so little for those of us who dont fit in that cookie cutter

A: That would actually be cool. And I wish there was other places for me to go. If I ask questions I get remarks that “im kidding” or whatever. I have tattoos… i love them. My htb has ideas that are wild and I dont care, thats what makes me love him and that is what makes a unique wedding. I love the traditional stuff, dont get me wrong. But tradition is not for us. He loves football, and would love to have it some how in the wedding besides the colors an cake for him.

So yep, im with you on this one.
