Adding to Your Wedding Cake

Wedding cakes are a great place to add intricate details to your wedding decor. By simply adding some florals or feathers or other dramatic pieces your wedding cake can transform into a piece of art. Here are some great accent pieces:

Add the simplicity of flowers to your wedding cake to bring your decor together.

The back of your flower girls' dresses will always be remembered once you dress your cake in the matching ribbon and bows.

Make your tropical themed wedding reception come to life by accenting your cake with life-like fondant seashells.

Dress your cake in texture from the icing to adding feathers to make a dramatic statement in your reception room.

Welcome Brittany and Chad

Welcome Brittany and Chad to the celebrate! family! We are so excited to be part of your very special day.

One of my favorite parts of getting to know our new clients is finding out the story of how they got engaged. Here's how Chad asked Brittany to marry him (according to Brittany):

Friday, June 12th, 2009...Chad took Brittany to a small public dock overlooking Lake Virginia in Winter Park across from Rollins College where they went on their first date in high school after they had lunch at Brandywines. He proposed there at the dock- with their dog, Rusty by his side :)! After he proposed they went to lunch at Brandywines on Park Avenue to celebrate where they went on their first date. After lunch Chad also surprised Brittany with a house at the beach for the weekend in New Smyrna to celebrate! They had a great weekend and are looking forward to June 12th, 2010!

How to Choose Your Perfect Wedding Invitations

Choosing your wedding invitations encompasses much more than how many you will need to send out and what the invitation should say. Your wedding invitation is the first glance your guests will get of your special day. Everything from the wording to the design to the color of the invitation should be thought of with great care.

Here are some guidelines to go by when you are choosing your wedding invitations:

• Make sure the invitation goes with your wedding theme. EX. If you are having a fall wedding with the color scheme of burnt orange and chocolate brown, make sure you are not choosing a spring time orange and silver invitation.
• Have a professional help you to word the invitation so your guests are able to find the information they need easily.
• Choose a font that will be used throughout the wedding, from the menu cards to the placecards to the wedding programs, etc.
• If you are planning on using your monogram at all in any part of your wedding decor, consider incorporating this on your invitation as well.
