The Non-Cake Wedding Cake

One of the main ingredients at a wedding reception is of course the fabulous wedding cake. But what happens when the bride and groom do not like cake at all??? What choices do they have to still have a cake that appears to be a wedding cake but is actually something different?

Well below are some fun options for the Non-Cake Wedding Cake:

ICECREAM CAKE

TWINKLE CAKE

COOKIE CAKE

TRUFFLE CAKE

DONUT CAKE

Amazing Review!

My wonderful bride and groom's heartlfelt thank you letter:


Jen was AMAZING. Honestly, there are no words that can describe what she did for us, celebrate! was beyond amazing. At first, I was undecided about hiring a planner, but after meeting with Jen from celebrate! I knew that because she was so professional and experienced, it was worth the extra money to hire her. I had no idea at that time how truly PRICELESS what she did for us would be. At our wedding, we had many crazy things happen- the best man was in an accident and couldn't make the wedding because he was in the hospital, our florist was 2 hours late with the flowers, table linens and decorations- you name it, it happened.I could not believe there was so much craziness, we are not dramatic people, and I never in my wildest dreams imagined that that would be "our" day. Despite the chaos, somehow Jen brought it all together and our guests had no idea. Steve and I want to thank Jen and celebrate! from the bottom of our hearts, because without her, we would not have had a reception set up at all. She was the heroine of the day, and we will always be so thankful we found her. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator- let me tell you, YOU SHOULD HIRE celebrate! Not just any wedding planner would have been able to handle what Jen was faced with, and not only did she pull everything together, but she was professional, calm and efficient in everything that she did. Jen, thank you for everything that you have done for us, we will never forget you and wish you the very best. You are a wonderful person and we are so lucky to have had you with us on our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Much love, Danielle and Steve- Lady Lake, FL

Reality TV Show

Jen and I are so excited that we can hardly contain ourselves!! celebrate! was approached by television producers on making a fun, positive image reality tv show featured around our lives as wedding planners in Florida. We started taping for our pilot episode and cannot wait for a station to pick up our new show.

We are so thrilled to showcase our amazing work, incredible clients, premier vendors, and our spectacular designs!! We will keep you posted on airing times and network.

Here is a great photo from the taping:

Thanks to the film crew and producers for this fabulous opportunity!!!

Feathers, Feathers, and More Feathers

Incorporating feathers into your wedding day decor is a hot new trend for 2010. You can add this special accent to your wedding dress, your invitations, and your centerpieces. The feathers add a fun texture to your wedding and will give it an unique concept that many couples prior to you have not used for their wedding decor. Here are some fun options to add feathers:

This breathtaking wedding dress has white feathers as its skirt

This invitation is dressed with funky black feathers to add texture

This cake is topped with a headdress of white feathers

The floral designer used all feathers for this centerpiece
The bride accented her simply hair style with a funky hair piece composed of feathers

Hillery and Ricky

We just received this sweet thank you note from one of our February brides. Jen and I absolutely loved planning Hillery and Ricky's wedding and feel so blessed to have been able to be part of their wedding. Here is the note:

"Hey Jenna,

I am still on cloud 9. The day was magical and it wouldn't have been that way without you, Jen, and Sam. Ricky was so happy, my dad was blown away, and I am finally glad that I didn't just go to the courthouse.

I have received so many compliments on the design of the event...the color combination, the florals, everything...it was absolutely beautiful. I can't thank you enough.

-Hillery"

Stayed tuned for Hillery and Ricky's wedding day photos.

Traci and Ryan

We would love to welcome Traci and Ryan to the celebrate! family. We are so excited to help them plan their dream wedding. They are planning on a very classy but simply wedding with the fun color scheme of "Marshmallow and Navy."

Here is this couples fun story according to the beautiful bride, Traci:

"Ryan and I met at work almost four years ago and started dating soon after. We never talked about getting married until Ryan decided to join the United States Navy last March. We decided to wait to make sure the strain of a long distance relationship wasn't too much and to see if we could make it work. It was definitely a hard six months with me being here and Ryan being in Chicago. But we made it through and that's where the ring shopping started! He proposed a month later on Thanksgiving Day at his parent's house. He is stationed in Virginia, leaving all the wedding stuff to me. And that's where Jenna and Jen come in..."
