How to have an out-of-this-world Star Wars wedding

July 6, 2020 No Comments

If your love is out of this world, a Star Wars wedding theme may be perfect for you. Lovers of the iconic franchise can easily incorporate elements of it into their big day in both over-the-top and subtle ways.

Depending on your style and preference, you can go big or small. You could have Darth Vader officiate your wedding, or have your bridesmaids carry lightsabers instead of bouquets. Or, you could be more demure and simply have references to the film added to your seating chart or wedding cake.

Here are some ideas to include this theme into your decor in a variety of ways.

Absolutely amazing abstract wedding cakes

July 3, 2020 No Comments

Art-lovers will find a new favourite in abstract-inspired wedding cakes. These cakes display the visual language of abstract art, which does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

Abstract art is about bold, unregulated design. Much like love, it cannot be controlled and cannot be easily defined because it is all about perspective.

For those who live in the grey area of life, this aesthetic is perfect. You can let your imagination run free with unique strokes, shapes and colours.

Here are some stunning abstract cakes to inspire you:

Ways to bring your love of breakfast into your wedding

July 1, 2020 No Comments

Is breakfast your favourite meal of the day? Bring in your love for the important morning meal into your wedding!

There are a number of ways you can honour breakfast on your big day. Here are some ideas to try.

Have a breakfast wedding:

We’re all familiar with dreamy afternoon weddings that celebrate late into the evening. While this can be a beautiful and more traditional approach, there’s something simply magical about a breakfast wedding. They’re more budget-friendly, offer more flexible timing, and provide a wide variety of foods to serve.

If you’re having a breakfast wedding, it makes sense to offer bars tailored to specific foods. From a coffee or juice bar to a hot breakfast buffet, the options are endless (and delicious!).

Get punny:

There are so many egg-cellent food puns you can use in your big day. Here are a few of our favourites.

Fruity fancies:

Fruits work as amazing breakfast sides and decor. Use aromatic delights like oranges, lemons and grapefruit to add a pop of colour to your big day and get the room smelling like a tropical vacation.

Sweet treats:

For your wedding cake, you have two options. You could go literal by using popular breakfast foods like pancakes and waffles as alternative cakes, or infuse flavours you commonly associate with breakfast into the cake. You could do a coffee cake or a cinnamon cake or even incorporate your favourite fruits like oranges, blueberries and banana into the decor.

Gesture cakes – The affordable alternative

June 24, 2020 No Comments

A wedding cake is the sweet cherry on top of an exciting day. Newlyweds slice into the cake, symbolic of the first action they take together as partners.

The wedding cake has a centuries-long history, and started as a tradition that was said to ensure fertility. Today, however, while many still choose elaborate wedding cakes, some have opted for a more paired-down experience.

A new trend has emerged for those not wanting to go big on price and drama with their wedding cake. Instead of a tiered creation, they have a gesture cake. Gesture cakes are mini, affordable cakes that still hold the essence of tradition but won’t create a massive hole in your bank account.

Of course, this cake won’t feed an army either. It’s generally the size of a normal cake one may have at a birthday party. For those having micro-weddings, this option is perfect. You won’t have a ton of cake go to waste, and get to save some money in the process.

Just because it’s a smaller cake does not mean it has to be boring. Take a look at these stunning treats:

Not one for big designs and loud colours? You might just be a minimalist. This design aesthetic focuses on living with only the things you need and that support your purpose. By removing the distractions of loud design, it allows you to focus on what matters most.
