I love wedding cakes.  I can’t believe all the beautiful and artistic designs that are out there these days.  Flipping through bridal magazines, one can see just how wedding cakes have become so dramantic. I came across this amazing article that listed the trends in wedding cakes for 2007.  

The first trend is that they are personalized.  The wedding cakes are either personalized to reflect the day, the wedding theme, or the bride’s wedding dress.

The second trend is the unique shape.  Bride’s are beginning to step away from the traditional 3-tier wedding cakes and are moving towards unique stacking of all sorts of shapes.

Another trend is the colorful cakes.  Cakes are no longer white and cream, but bright colors that make the cake stay out where ever it is displayed.

If you are looking to cut cost when it comes to the reception location, why not choose to have it at a hotel.  Most hotels have large halls therefore able to accommodate large parties or make accommodations for smaller ones.  

Plus, the hotel most likely will throw in the honeymoon suite if you book with them.  They may be able to give you a group discount for your guest’s room rentals.    

Some hotels may even have decorations such as tulle or chair covers available to rent.  So remember to ask!  

If your thank-you gifts/bomboniere are something that can be arranged as a group, why not arrange them as a centrepiece.  At the end of the evening, your guests can take one as they leave the reception.  

By doing this, you’ve cut your wedding expenses by not having to purchase a separate centrepiece.
