If you’re having a wedding cake for your special day, I’m sure you’ve put some thought into what the cake topper might be, right?
Back in the day they used to use plastic bells or silk flowers to adorn the top of their cake, but nowadays the choices are endless. It’s bad enough that you have to decide on the size and height, flavour, colour, and texture of your cake, but now, you’ve also got to decide on what to top it all off with.
Toppers can be traditional or unique, vintage or modern, or can match your theme, colour or your personalities. Popular toppers are monograms and Bride & Groom figurines.
Here are some wedding cake toppers we like.
Take Me Out to the Ballgame!
The invitations were made to look like ticket stubs and even had one of our favourite quotes from a baseball movie; Field of Dreams -“If you build it, he will come.”
Saturday’s Soiree
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of assisting Kelly & Mike with their wedding.
Kelly had contacted me in December when we were offering $100 off Day of Coordination Services.
Kelly is the type of Bride that wanted a Planner onsite so that she didn’t have to worry about managing her bridal party, family and friends. She also didn’t want to worry about logistics like décor set-up and the very important timeline. Kelly works for an insurance company, so everyday in her career she’s looking after others, so she wanted to make sure that her day was all about her and Mike…and it was!
Congrats to Kelly & Mike for planning and hosting a fabulous wedding! The colour scheme was black, white and champagne with traces of damask and lace. Kelly & Mike had their reception at The Burlington Convention Centre – the staff there is fabulous and the food was well served and very tasty! The wedding cake was stunning and Kelly even surprised Mike with a Groom’s cake (hot new trend alert!!) because of his love of soccer. The weather was beautiful and there were only a few minor issues that arose throughout the day- which is bound to happen, it’s all part of executing a major event. Thankfully, Samantha my Assistant for the day and myself were ready for almost anything.
– held onto the rings until the ceremony
– pinned boutonnières on the lapels of all bridal party members
– distributed payment for the musicians at the ceremony
– provided a forgetful bridesmaid with her bouquet at photo shoot
– photocopied vehicle permit for photo location for limo
– managed set-up at reception venue (decorator and serving staff)
– alphabetized name cards
– set up guest book, money box, etc
– set up cake table & Groom’s cake table
Brides – things will happen on your wedding day that you didn’t expect or plan for. Having a Planner onsite can help these types of issues disappear quickly and effortlessly on your part. Your task for the day is to be the Bride and enjoy every moment with your husband.
Congratulations Kelly _ Mike!!
Here’s a sneak peak from their exquisite wedding.
I’ll write more about their event next post.
