Q: Wedding Cake…?
I’m ordering my wedding cake in the next few days and I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for it, general prices to expect, what kinds of cake and filling might be good.. etc.

I’m thinking of having the traditional 3 tiered type cake for just over 100 people or so… and each layer can be different (all with the same white icing of course..)

The icing types are buttercream and fondant (sp?)… Which tastes better?… I know which one looks better.. how much do you think that decision effects the pricing? etc…

Anyone have any good links to pictures of cakes that might look nice??.. or general wedding cake experience or advice..
Thank you for all the answers so far!! Just thought I’d mention (since people are saying this will only cost $200…) I live around NYC… you can hardly get a pair of shoes for that!! ha.. alright! The lowest price I got for a basic buttercream icinged cake was 350…. and I’m not looking at those high end places (they’re like a grand.)

A: Professional wedding cakes are prices by the slice, normally 3-5 dollaras a slice. If you are getting a professional cake made, I will suggest for you to go to a tasting appoitment first.

Your design should match your theme and colors. Here is a website with some contemporary clasic designs taht I thing they ar just beautiful. maybe you can get sone inspiration there.

Cakes should be ordered with plenty of time and professional delivery is recomended.

Congratulations and good luck. I hope that this helps

Q: Wedding cake buying and price question.?
Today I went to this bakery that was recommended as one of the best in town. I went to a wedding faire a few weeks ago and saw their booth. Made an appt to go in and talk to them about our cake. Well I assumed that there would be samples of the wedding cakes, icing and fillings. None of that happened. They basicly gave me a price sheet and pictures. The prices were $8-10 a serving plus tax and a $50 delivery fee. I asked if she had any samples because I felt uncomfortable spending almost $800 for a wedding cake that I would have no idea what it tasted like. She snapped at me and asked why I did not try their sample cakes at the wedding faire. I told her the only sample they had was chocolate and I do not like chocolate. She then told me that everyone else likes chocolate and almost all their cakes are made up of at least one layer of it. I was just kind of annoyed. I felt like she was just expecting me to buy a cake based off pictures and their name. At $8-10 a slice, I am sorry but I want to know if your cakes are any good. Am I completely wrong for this? I guess I just assumed that they would have some small samples and go over different combonations and ideas, ask your theme and colors and so on. Is this normal or was she just pushy and assuming? What was your experience like and what was the cost of your cake servings?

A: If somebody actually wants your business, they would be more than willing to accommodate you. I personally recommend a new bakery if you can find one. I’m getting married and got lucky enough to find a baker that had just opened up. Their prices were about half what other bakery’s were, and the cakes were just as good looking. I met with the owner and she gave me a lots of samples of cake, fillings, and icing. My cake is more than enough for 150 people, going to be georgous, and I’m only paying $250 plus a $25 delivery fee. I know that this is your decision, but trust me… you will have to be working with this person for a while and they need to want to work with you. And a lot of times the cakes that look prettiest taste the nastiest. Good Luck though!

Q: Wedding cake help?
I need a web site that shows pictures of wedding cakes and their prices. Does any one know any, it’s an emergency

A: Prices on wedding cakes are going to vary by size, by complexity, by filling, whether or not fondant is used, and from baker to baker. My suggestion is to search the yellow pages for your zip code under “wedding cake”, click on individual bakery’s websites, and get the pricing from there. There are too many variables to try to do a web wide search.

Q: wedding cake help!!!!?
ok so i need to find a wedding cake that is just a picture of a cake with the PRICE right next to it!! so i can print out the pic and the price right next to each other!! pleaseeeeeeeee help! i’ve been looking everywhere and cant find one. it DOESNT matter what the cake looks like as long as theres a price next to it!!

A: Congrats on the engagement first of all. Second, I was going through the same thing with my cake. I wanted something Traditional yet cheap lol! My fiancee and I decided to go with 3 Satellite cakes. I was so totally blown away when the cake decorator told me that the cake was only going to be 200 bucks!!!!! (Traditional tiered wedding cakes start around 500 at this bakery). If that is too expensive.. I know it might sound tacky but I don’t think it is, you can Always go with a nice sheet cake.

Q: Is this a good price for a wedding cake?
My fiancé and I decided to buy a wedding cake from this store in Toronto called Just Temptations. We are having a three tier wedding cake with the dimensions of 12”, 10” and 8”.
The design on the cake will be simple tiny swirls
The wedding cake has a lot of roses between each tier, it would take something like 12 and a half dozen fresh roses to re create the picture of the cake I have chosen. But we have decided to go with sugar roses which will be made by the baker.
The flavors we went with were white chocolate mousse with raspberry, and white chocolate mousse with fresh mango.
They are charging us $675 for the cake and it serves 149 people which is just over the total of people coming to the wedding.
I wanted to know if this is a good price for a cake of this magnitude considering all the hand made roses that have to be made and the size of the cake??

I just wanted to add my fiancé and I have sampled the cake and it was very good, very moist and melted in our mouths. As for the mango I know its not a usual flavor but that was one of the appealing things about it, I didn’t want a strawberry shortcake which you can have any time if you buy it from the grocery store I wanted something a bit different. Besides a most of the guests are east Indian and from the west Indies (Caribbean) so I doubt they would have any problems with the mango, they may even prefer it.

but thanks for the responses. I just wanted to know if I am paying too much.

A: I think this is a great price for a cake, especially since the baker will have to make the roses by hand. We are going for a cake that feeds 180 and the price we got for square layers with an upgraded frosting is around 680.

Q: What are your wedding cost saving tips?
My fiance and I only have a budget of $10 000 for our wedding for 150 guests. We can’t cut the list any more because my future husband has a HUGE family and there would be a lot of hurt feelings and a major uproar if we excluded anyone else. I also would like it to be a nice wedding. A back yard cook-off or a cheapo cocktail reception doesn’t appeal to me (and wouldn’t be fair to guest who are travelling far for our special day!). I think I can pull it off, I just need to pull out every trick in the book!

Here is what we got so far:

-I found a lovely banquet hall which will cost between $4000-$5000 for 150 people. This includes decorations, food, set up and take down, cake cutting, sparkling wine for toasts, etc. However, it will be a cash bar.

-my fiance’s uncle is a professional DJ, and will dj our reception as a wedding gift.

-my fiance’s family has a close friend who is a professional photographer, who will only charge us the prints of our pictures.

-a cousin works at a cake decorating shop, and can give us a great price on a wedding cake (though I may look for an even cheaper option).

-my fiance’s father is a minister. He will be marrying us in his church so we don’t have to worry about paying the officiant or renting out a ceremony venue.

-I’m trying on dresses at bridal shops, then buying the dress I like online for a savings of 50%. I have had friends who have done this with a particular company and have had great success.

-I will be baking sugar cookies using a bell cookie cutter (wedding bells) and decorating them with our initials and wedding date, and use them as wedding favours.

-I want to make my own flower arrangements and bouquets, but I need to find a good wholesaler of either silk or real wedding flowers (preferably silk so I can make them way ahead of time to save myself stress)

-I plan to make my own centrepieces but I’m not very creative so I need ideas that won’t break the bank!

-I hope to make my own wedding invitations and programs but I need a place that will sell inexpensive and nice card stock, envelopes, program paper!

-I will have people RSVP via phone or email to save myself money on response cards and postage.

Would anyone like to help me with what I have so so? Or does anyone have any other cost saving tips? Thanks.

A: Wow…. I think you covered a lot. Anyway, my advice to you is get out staring Friday and hit the After Holiday Sales. All kinds of paper, decor, candles, stationary and such will be on sale. I was in Pier 1 a few days ago and they had lots of stuff for 30%-50% off and I’m sure they will mark them down even lower. A majority of the stuff has a strong holiday theme, but there is plenty of things that can be used throughout the year as well. I would suggest using gold/red or gold/black as your colors? Lots of holiday candles and stationary will have gold as a color, but isn’t themed to Christmas or any specific holiday. It just look festive more than anything. But, you could definetely get away with using it for your wedding.

Look for additional coupons in the newspaper or even online.

I think you could do your stationary, centerpieces and favors for way less than $1,000,maybe even less.

Q: My wedding day. Hows it sounding? Any help or suggestions?
Our wedding is going to be in February on a Sunday late morning at a Bed and Breakfast and only our parents and siblings are attending.

I was thinking around 9am the morning of our wedding our families can meet up at this lovely breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant called Wild Eggs link: http://www.crackinwildeggs.com/main.html

I am thinking I should preprint out the menu and erase the prices so that no one feels like they are spending to much of our money. Does this sound like a good idea?

After breakfast/brunch (10amish) we’ll part ways and I will head to the Bed and Breakfast and my fiance will head to his parents house so we can get ready seperately. link to bed and breakfast: http://www.innatpark.com/index.htm

By 11:30 my fiance and family will have arrived, I will be ready and we’ll have a small ceremony (BTW, I am wearing a white wedding dress, and he is going to wear a tux, but for our family is saying semi-formal appropriate?)

After the ceremony we’ll have champange punch set out and a small two teir wedding cake. I figure at this point we’ll drink, eat cake, enjoy each others company and take pictures. Should I have tea sandwhiches, cheeses, chocolates set out at this point on a table with the champagne punch even though everyone just had breakfast together 3 hours ago? It’s probably about 12 now so that is lunch time… but yeah? What do you all think?

Than tada! I guess this is where the family leaves and we enjoy the rest of the day in the Bridal Suite, wake up the next day to breakfast in bed, and then leave for our honeymoon
Oh and after the ceremony and before cake his younger brother will probably play the piano for everyone

Some people in other Answers say I shouldn’t have him play bc he’s the only one “working” for his food, BUT he loves to show off on the piano and would probably very much enjoy playing for us so what do you think about that?

A: I think your wedding sounds very relaxed and wonderful. Love the idea of the menu. I am doing something similar. The only suggestion is that you push the ceremony back a little later. That way you don’t put food and stuff and it goes to waste. Love the bed and breakfast, very beautiful and charming.

Congrats & Best of luck!

Q: How expensive do you think a 250 guest wedding is?
I’m curious as I plan my wedding. Consider the price of the church, the flowers, the photographer, the wedding dress, the tux rental, the honeymoon trip, the presents to the wedding party and parents, the centerpieces, the DJ, the invitations, the reception hall rental, the food, the drinks, the cake, the limo, the rehearsal dinner, the champagne toast, the engagement pictures, and even the engagement ring. I’m probably forgetting some things…

A: It really depends on where you live, the quality of the food/liquor, the elaborateness of the flowers etc etc. We had 200 guests at our wedding 2 weeks ago in the NYC area, and the price tag was slightly over 70K. This included the reception venue (top shelf liquor, cocktail hour, full course dinner, Viennese hour) photographer, 14 piece band, photographer + assistant, flowers (including centerpieces, and personal flowers), limo, and my dress, make-up and hair. It didn’t include the honeymoon, rings, various gifts, or any printed materials. Depending on where in the U.S. you live, the same wedding could cost 25K.

Q: How much for a wedding cake like this?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/poptartskill/KassisCrap/46927286_6564928f2d_o.jpg

Sorry for the photo it’s the only picture I could find of it. I don’t have a photo editor other wise I’d crop it…but yeah…

We’ll need to feed about 60…And we don’t want to save the top of it for our anniversary or anything…I figure it will be scaled down to two tiers instead of three…How much would that go for? We figure the skulls and bones will be difficult and make the price go up a bit.

We’re just trying to get our budget in order before we go making any more purchases…Any bakers want to give us an estimate?
No $hit folks…I knew the cake would be scaled down…

A: Very funny! For 60 people: Do a smaller (much smaller) cake. A twelve inch and a 10 inch.

Q: What can my aunt’s wedding rental business do to beat the competition?
My aunt owns a business involving chair covers and linens which are provided for peoples weddings. I believe it was last year that one of her customers actually copied everything she did and started to take her business! Not only that, her competition’s husband was mean to my aunt at a wedding expo when he brought her a chair and said “Say thank you!” right when he brought it to her and it was just the way he said it that seemed very forceful. :/ A little competition is good, but I’d like my aunt to be more successful than them.
Here is my aunt’s website: www.northhillchaircovers.com
Here is the competition: www.marrymeweddingrentals.com

Here are a few advantages of the competition: They have ties with a person who makes wedding cakes, they have a slideshow for their pictures, and the biggest advantage of all, they have a van with their name on the sides of it!
Our advantages: We have more experience, we can make baskets (my aunt came in 2nd place for a basket making competition which I think might have been nation wide), our website is a little more attractive than the competition, better prices, and I believe we have more people that help set up for weddings.

Got any ideas for what my aunt’s business could do to be more successful than the competition? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I really need the help, thanks for reading!!!
@Stephen, I think you got the 2 websites mixed up, northhillchaircovers.com (which is my aunt’s website) does say what it does on the home page, the other website doesn’t.

A: That’s great that you care about your aunt’s business and how her relationship with her contemporaries. Here is what I would recommend to your aunt.

1. Continue doing a great job with your business. Keep your chin up and do your work. Sometimes rotten people can bring out the bad in us. I hope this doesn’t happen to you.
2. Both of you have lovely web presences, both are professional and well done. Their website does have a very personal touch, which is effective. It would me seriously consider hiring them.
Many of your customers will be brides and mothers who are planning basically the most important day thus far in the bride’s life. Think about that. So your site needs a touch of sentimentality, which is ironic because it sounds from your Question like your competition probably aren’t as sensitive as you. By comparison, on your site, all I see is chairs.
3. Your business has a more elegant name. I would be proud to credit your business name on my wedding program. North Hill Chair Covers sounds very classy. This would infuence my choice between the two businesses. An easy service to get into is making wedding programs, by the way, if you have a creative talent or are good with desktop publishing software.
4. I would partner with a reputable catering company or full service wedding venue if you can. A business partnership can be formed by visiting them to learn about their business. If they sound like they’re professional, competent and nice to work with, offer to give their customers a small discount if they use your services. Establishing the partnership also might make it a bit easier to coordinate everything come ’show-time’. Some businesses split advertising costs by having a partnership, which is another great benefit.
5. So what if they have a van! That’s one more ugly thing they have to park in their driveway. You can order bumper stickers for a few dollars on cafepress.com. Pin up your business card everywhere there’s a public corkboard — laundromats, libraries, cafe’s (always introduce yourself and ask if you can first). Advertise for free on craigslist. Register with wedding planning sites like theknot. Go to bridal expo’s.
6. I wonder what you can give brides that nobody else can’t. Think! There’s got to be something. Oh that’s right! You do baskets. Where are they on your site? How do I know you are less expensive? What is the advantage? I can’t see it on your site. Please show off more. Your competition has no problem doing so, and they have the same chair covers. Honestly, in the end, I just want a reliable chair cover company that has clean chair covers, polite people, good prices, lots of payment options, and a good selection.

I am not in the wedding service business, so I might not know what I’m talking about here; but I have been a bridezilla before, and I have 18 years of varied business and entrepreneurial experience.

Good luck! I am sure you will do great

Q: Paying for wedding ourselves. My SIL is horrified that we can’t afford an open bar. Are we being tacky? ?
Neither myself or my fiance make a ton of money and we are paying for our own wedding. After inviting his HUGE family (and my much smaller one), we will have 120 guests. We are planning appetizers, formal dinner, and wedding cake. We went ahead and booked a great DJ for the reception. Other than that… we are totally skimping. I bought my dress off craigslist, my friends are doing the invitations and the flowers… you get the picture.

When looking at the alcohol list and prices… it would cost us MORE to have an open bar than to have the formal dinner. I mentioned this to my fiance’s sister and his mother – they are mortified that we aren’t having an open bar. Of course, his family is not chipping in AT ALL for the wedding… so do I have to listen to their opinion? Or can I just brush this off?
Our reception dinner package comes with tea, coffee, soft drinks and juice. It’s only the alcoholic beverages we would have to pay for. We cannot bring in alcohol from the outside – it has to be theirs. I thought about the wine/beer option: beer is $250/keg with 8.25% tax and a 19% gratuity, plus the $50 service charge per keg. That breaks down to roughly $370/keg! Wine at the venue is $55/1.5 liter bottle with the same grat, tax, and service charges. Even with only wine/beer – I don’t think we’d get out of it for less than $1500-$1750.

A: First of all, alcohol is not a requirement at any event.
Secondly, you should not go into debt to have the kind of wedding other people expect or want you to have.
Third, stop telling them the details; they are obviously going to criticize your decisions.

If this turns out to be an isolated incident with them; i.e. they don’t bring it up again, then just let it go. If, however, they bring it up to you or your fiance’ again, then something needs to be said. YOUR FIANCE’ needs to say it! This is his family upsetting you and he needs to sit with them in private and tell them that unless they want to chip in financially to have the bar, then they need to keep their criticism to themselves.

Q: What items should not be skimped on when it comes to a wedding?
The cheapest venue I could find was $2,300 with a $1k security deposit. It comes with six hours of time (four for the event), tables, chairs, linen, and she has decoration if I choose to use it.

The dinner plans I like range from $8-11 a person and I have 75 guests.

I don’t know how to find a decent photographer that doesn’t charge me $1,100 for the full event. I plan on having our engagement and my bridal pictures done soon. I found one woman but she refuses to answer me about wedding pricing… I’m confused why she does not want my business?

My dress is $599 from David’s Bridal without the bustier, shoes, etc.

My budget (without including the honeymoon) is $8k. I know I’ve asked this, but it seems almost impossible with the cost of things to make it work.

My friend is going to play the ceremony music, and DJ. Since the wedding is so small there will not be a huge party going on LOL but there will be dancing.

I want to use silk flowers where I can, but I would like to have a real bouquet. However, I’m struggling to find a place that offers them under $150. I’m also struggling to find someone to make the cake for less than $400. I really think $400 is a tad much for three cakes with buttercream icing! I’m not asking for anything extravagant! Help?
I want mango calla lilies… are those cheaper to buy fake or real?
Well I love my dress, and it is only $600, so I don’t feel skimped. The location I had no choice but to cut my guest list and choose something smaller because everything else in my area is $4k and up and I think the house is just a beautiful idea. The cake I’m looking at having done by a friend of a friend so we’ll see. It may run be about $150 instead of $400.
Excuse me, I must be from another state or part of the world. When I say plate – I mean the FOOD. We’re using white plastic plates. Get over yourself!
The catering company has a testing set up for me the 4th. I’m going to try the chicken alfredo and herb chicken with white wine cream sauce because you cannot go wrong with chicken! LOL and then I will have salads beforehand, and tea and soda. I might do a veggie and fruit tray as a snack while guests wait for the tables to be arranged… hmmm
Thanks! I’m going to go ahead with the paper products because I can buy the paper cheap and have them printed by a friend. So that is a relief! Invitations are HIGH!
I would pay less than $2,300 if you could find a place that is an acutal wedding ceremony/reception venue and NOT a church or an ‘association’.

A: Do you know anyone who can make a decent cake if you just buy the ingredients, you can usually rent the stand. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just yummy You can also look into grocery stores or even walmart. They make decent wedding cakes and they are much cheaper than a bakery.

I actually found that real flowers were cheaper for me than silk. So depending on what kind of flowers you want, this may be something you want to look into. I ordered just the flowers from the florist and made the bouquet myself. I just bought some ribbon and some pearl tipped pins. Here is how I made the bouquet:

-Cut the flowers to the desired length
-Gather the flowers together with 2 rubber bands.
-Take wide ribbon and wrap around stems
-make sure you have wrapped it enough times so it will stay secure.
-fold the end piece over itself and secure down with 3 pearl tipped pins in a straight vertical line.
-If desired, take pearl tipped pins and insert one into the center of each flower.

Pic:

I think this whole bouquet cost me less than $20

Oh, and see if the photographer can cut you a deal and just provide you with a disk of the pictures and the rights to print them yourself.

Q: Which wedding photography package should I choose?
How long does it take to do all the pictures for ceremony and between at a location, then reception? Also, do these prices seem reasonable? Tell me your thoughts and any advice!

A: Hi. I’m a professional photographer in New York City. Maybe more important, my daughter got married about a year and a half ago, and she and I “shopped” for her wedding photographer together, so I got a “Bride’s Eye View” of what’s important.

There are at least three big differences between the packages you are considering.

Number of hours. The smaller package specifies 5 hours of coverage. The second sounds like it is unlimited, from the time you are getting ready until you cut the cake at the reception. That could be 8, 10 or even 12 hours. So choose the package that really corresponds to your wedding day timetable. If you hire a photographer for 5 hours and keep him for 12 hours, you may wind up with huge overtime charges.

Number of photographers. Two photographers doesn’t just mean more pictures, it means BETTER pictures. Both photographers can be shooting the same moment, but with different lenses, and from different places. That means that you will have great photographs of special moments – you walking down the aisle with your dad AND your husband seeing you coming AND your mom drying a tear as she reacts to this beautiful scene! One photographer, no matter how good he or she is, would have to choose which of those images to capture. Two photographers can get them all.

An album. You may have rights to print from a CD, but a professionally designed, printed, and bound album will be a treasure which will grow in value over the years. Unless you are a skilled professional graphic artist with excellent retouching and design skills, you probably won’t be able to come close to the quality album that a professional can provide. Many brides who forego the album wind up years later with just a shoebox full of unretouched 4×6 drugstore prints to show people one of the most important days of her life. That’s sad.

In addition to these three major differences, there are lots of “extras” with the upgraded package, such as the DVD set to music. This is a great way to enjoy and share your wedding pictures.

When my daughter and I chose a wedding photography package we went for the option that is close to the $2,800 package you are considering. Yes, it hurt a little to spend the extra. But we are both very pleased that we invested the additional money.

If you can afford it, go for the quality.

Q: How can I plan a flawless wedding without a lot of cost?
This is my first wedding, and I want it to be absolutly perfect. The date of the wedding is august 12, 2010. Do you think I have enough time to plan it if I start now? I’m getting a custom made wedding dress because I don’t know my mother and still want to do the tradition of the mother passing down her wedding dress to her oldest daughter…all I have is a picture of her waist up so I’m going to recreate the bottom. How long will it take to get a dress made from scratch? What is the best caterer that also has a great price? Im having everyone bring in a dish like an appitizer, salad, and/or dessert (besides the cake). Is that a good idea? Also, where is the best place to get a wedding cake from? How about the honeymoon? What is the best place to go? All help welcome and needed!!! Thanks

A: First, accept that nothing is “perfect” or “flawless”. There are always riadbumps so be flexible. Second, line up some local caterers for tastings to find the one you like the best. Third, depending on the complexity of the dress and the workload of the seamstress, allow 3 months for your gown to be made, fitted and finished. Fourth, guests should never be asked to bring food or anything else. You are the host, you provide the food and drink. For your cake, go to some tastings from local bakers and choose the one you likes best. Sometimes caterers do cakes as well so check with them when you call. For your honeymoon, go somewhere you’ve both never been but have always wanted to go. Find a place that offers the activity level you enjoy. Join The Knot or Brides.com for useful boards and suggestions and tons of pictures.

Good luck!

Q: Help! Wedding reception decor?
I’m getting married on October 18th. I’m so stressed out that I end up in tears almost daily. There are so many things that are not finished. I haven’t picked out a cake and I don’t know what to do about reception decor or even ceremony decorations. My parents are paying, but I really don’t want to go overboard price-wise, even though they say to just get what I want. I know that they can’t just afford anything, but I do want it to look nice.

Here’s what I’m working with:

My colors are black white and red. For the ceremony, I’m doing red dresses for the girls, red ties and flowers for the guys, mostly white flowers for the girls and red flowers for me. The reception will be kind of the opposite, with black and white everywhere and red accents.

I’ve looked at so many pictures of cakes and centerpieces..and nothing seems right. I know that decoration isn’t what a wedding is all about, but…I was always told that my parents wouldn’t be able to give me a “dream” wedding, and now that has changed. I want it to be beautiful. This will be the first event that is about me (and my husband of course), including birthdays. Long story. I just want it to be gorgeous. I want to find decorations that are “me.” I want to love my cake. Please help! Pictures would be greatly helpful.

A: There are lots of things that you can do for a black, white and red wedding. Don’t worry – I can’t tell you how many pictures I looked at for centerpieces and the wedding cake. You will find that one picture…and if it’s not perfect, don’t worry about it to much. I stressed about the centerpieces a lot…when my husband and I were coming home from the reception I turned to him and said, “Oh my gosh! What did the centerpieces look like?” LOL

For the centerpieces you could look into using the black baccara roses. Those are lovely flowers and would look great with the decor. This is what they look like:

Here are some ideas for centerpieces:
