5 Fun Trends in Wedding Cakes For 2010

Planning a wedding can be a stressful time for a bride and groom. Imagine having to organize everything from the church and reception, the photographers and videographers, the clothes and the caterers - in fact, you can probably imagine this all too well!
Aside from everything mentioned, the wedding cake is one of the most important items in the event. That's because the cutting and feeding of the cake by the bride and groom signifies their first meal together as a married couple. As it becomes the focus of attention at some point during the wedding affair, many couples want their cake to be just perfect.
To help couples choose what style of cake is stylish and suits them best, here are five fabulous new trends in wedding cakes to choose from.Black and White
This style of cake has become popular in 2009 and is set to continue that way for the year ahead. This style is inspired by the fashion runways, with their current fondness for monochromatics and black Spanish lace. You can have your wedding cake designed in this classic color scheme, using white fondant icing and black or dark brown accents. This design works wonderfully if the design coordinates with the wedding dress or the bridesmaids' gowns.Hexagonal or square shapes
The typical heart or circular shaped wedding cakes have now become too conventional for many couples. So, cube-layered or hexagonal layered cakes have recently become an emerging trend. These angular cakes can also double as lovely centerpieces during the reception, especially if they sport geometric accents in their designs.Blue is the hue
The color blue in wedding cakes has also become popular of late with soon-to-be-married couples. Shades of blue, sometimes meshed with green like aquamarine or turquoise, have made an appearance with couples who prefer a colorful cake. Incorporating this cake trend with a tropical wedding theme will work fabulously, especially if you use sky blue, aquamarine and turquoise as the base colors of your cake icing. Decorating the cake with white, silver, lilac or light grey accents will liven up your overall cake design.Think pink
The color pink is projected to be used even more in 2010 as a wedding motif. So it's only natural to draw on pink for the wedding cake, coordinating with your bridesmaids' dresses and bridal gown accents. Try using pink as the base color of your cake icing and decorating it with white, silver or pink embellishments and flowers. But if that's too much pink for your liking, try white as the cake base icing, and pink for the accents, like fresh roses.Square cupcakes
Using a tower of cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake was also a huge trend in 2009. It's become fashionable to use cupcakes, which conveniently eliminates the need for a skilled and designated cake cutter. In this way, the guests each enjoy an individual treat of their own, with ease. Because it's practical, cute and inexpensive, it's expected that this trend will continue throughout the year, but with a twist: 2010's cupcakes will often actually be square-shaped mini-cakes, while still reflecting the year's most popular colors and designs.

Top 5 Never Been Seen Wedding Table Centerpieces

Decorating the tables for your wedding reception is an important part of the wedding planning. It involves putting together elegant table linens, dining sets, glasses, cutlery and flower centerpieces. But if you find flowers a bit overrated and overused as centerpieces for weddings, you may find other types of items that make great wedding table decors.If you wish for your guests to find unique table centerpieces during your wedding, you can look for items that are not regularly found or used as decor for special occasions such as weddings. The items should make good conversation pieces, should be interesting and should not be expensive.Here are 5 never been seen wedding table centerpieces that you might find interesting and worth a try:1) Wishing well for the well-wishers You can use small wishing wells that can be found in craft stores and specialty shops such as online decorating shops. You can decorate the wishing well with some vine leaves and your motif flowers to put some life into them. Then provide each guest a pencil with your wedding date and your names [couple's names or surname] and lay them beside their wine glasses; these are great as keepsakes aside from the party favors of course. Provide small pieces of paper together with their pencils and these can have the color of your wedding motif. The party host should announce that the guests write their wishes, advice or anything they want to tell the couple on the small pieces of paper. After which, the guests should put their well wishes in the small wishing well centerpieces for the couple to collect and keep after the reception party.2) Wedding cupcakes for every tableYou can have the wedding cupcakes in transparent bags so the guests can take them away after the wedding reception. Arrange them on a cake stand or you can use wine glasses as stand for a charger or platter to raise the cupcakes and to make them stand out at the center of each table. Decorate some tea candles and flowers around them for a more elegant look. And make sure that each guest on each table has one cupcake to take away [use the number of seats per cupcake per table].3) Chocolate-covered strawberry bouquetsChocolate-covered strawberries are simply delectable and they make great centerpieces too. You can have them arranged like a bouquet of flowers and place them on an elegant charger or plate and put some green leaves and tea candles to make them more elegant. You can tell your guests to help themselves with the strawberries when it's time to go home. You can also have a junior version of these strawberry-chocolate bouquets for the kids' tables. You can also add extra chocolate bonbons or chocolate lollies together with the strawberries.4) A bucket of miniature wine bottlesYou can use aluminium or stainless steel buckets with ice and mini wine bottles in them. Each person on the table should have one as a take-away from your wedding and these can serve as your wedding favors too. You can save a few hundred bucks if you use your centerpiece items as your wedding favors, and wines make great wedding favors. If your table is set for 8 guests, you should have 8 mini wine bottles. And make sure you have some paper towels and bags ready for your guests when it's time to take their favors home.5) Breadsticks and biscottiMany have underestimated breads, breadsticks and other baked goodies. You can have them as your centerpieces for your wedding simply because they look elegant and yummy on the tables. Again, these are great to give away to your guests when it's time to wrap up the party. If you are worried about the bread becoming stale due to exposure, well, it's only appropriate to wrap them in cling wrap before you place them on the tables. The cling wrap will protect them from becoming stale and it will be easier for your guests to take them right away.There are other items that you can use to decorate your wedding tables. For the couple's table, you can always use larger versions of each or a different arrangement. If the centerpieces are meant to be given away to guests, make sure that your party host will announce it before everybody goes home.Putting centerpieces that are edible and can be taken home as favors is another way to save on the budget. You can add small thank you tags/cards for your guests. These are simple and fun to do, and you can prepare these items yourself if you have the time. Best of all, everyone will become interested when they see the centerpieces and they'll be excited to take them home too for remembrance.

Unique Wedding Cakes for Wedding

However, regardless of the amount you budget you want something that can compliment your wedding theme. While wedding planning and considering the cake you need to consider your budget first. Unique wedding cakes today have come a very long way from the ancients. For instance, you can have one made of chocolate, spices and or fruits. When it comes to choosing one that is unique for a wedding you are only limited by your budget and or your imagination.

Yet, there are still many other options available to you when you are choosing one that is perfect. Unique Wedding Cakes today have even progressed nicely from those traditional wedding cakes of our grandmothers and mothers. This included covering it with white sugar, since it was hard to obtain and very expensive at the time. Way back then they were simple bread cakes that were broken over the head of the bride and called the brides cake. When it comes to weddings and wedding cakes every bride wants one that reflects who she is, who she loves and her hopes for the future. Of course, as time progressed the brides cake changed to suit the fancy of royalty and various types of fruits and frills were added.

When you have determined the amount you want to spend, then you need to begin searching for that perfect and unique wedding cake. However, it is an essential aspect of any wedding day. You want to choose some that are unique that enhance the atmosphere you create for your wedding day. You want something unique that adds that something special to your overall bridal impression. Take your time to choose exactly what you want it to look like as well as the flavors you may wish to include. Today you do not have to be the one who has the traditional white or yellow cake with white frosting. You simply need to take the time to relax and decide what it is you want it to say about you, the one you love and your hopes for the future.

Whether you shop for your unique wedding cakes online, at the local bakery or even decide to make your own. You will need to consider your wedding theme, color and budget.

Of course, you may also choose to use an interesting and different shape as well for your wedding. Some individuals even have unique wedding cakes made of cupcakes. While determining which is the most perfect wedding cake for your wedding, you may wish to do some browsing online as well as checking the bridal magazines for various photographs. Taking the time to browse and search for the perfect cake can be fun. Brides, budgets will vary. No, today you can be daring and whimsical in the various choices that are available as well as customizable.

Although, as an aspect of wedding planning, many times it seem as if a second thought. Even then unique wedding cakes were most desirable. This contributed to the tradition of a White Wedding Cake. There are so many choices.

2007 Wedding Trends

The Knot recently came out with their wedding trends for 2007.

I was curious as to any other trends out there, so I researched around the web and scoured articles for other tips and trends for the new year. Some are trends carrying over from the fall wedding season. Others are fresh and new.Bouquets with jewels: Weddings always include beautiful jewelry. Now those jewels are being added to the bouquets, too. Again, these details can be subtle, or attention-getting.Friday night weddings: not only can you find great rates for Friday nights (though probably not for long, as the trend moves forward), but it sets the tone for a weekend event.

A lot of couples are making a weekend or week-long event out of their weddings. With friends and family coming in from out-of-town, couples are planning events that proceed the wedding, or continue the day after.Cupcake trees/towers: depending on your wedding style, these can range from quaint to over-the-top gorgeous. With the elaborate styles that some bakers are creating, these are no longer just being used because they are a "cheaper alternative."Shades of Blue and Brown: a carryover from last year, blues and brown are still a gorgeous choice. And depending on the shades chosen, this color combination can be used no matter what style of wedding you have planned. Look for hues such as turquoise, powder blue, cornflower blue, denim, alice blue (a very pale, yet striking, shade)and robin's egg blue paired with hues of brown such as medium taupe, raw umber, sepia and chocolate.Shades of Brown and Pink: another carryover is this modern, yet classy, color combo. It harkens back to the 80's, which is a style that has come back with an updated twist. Consider shades of coral, salmon, hot pink and puce paired with chocolate, raw umber, sepia or any shade of taupe."Punches" of color: a colored sash on the wedding dress, a design element on the invitations. Choosing a bright color for your wedding doesn't have to mean you have to hand out sunglasses to your guests. If you want to add a punch of color, use hints of the color you are considering in small ways (a ribbon tied around the bouquet handle, as a table runner at the reception)Jewel Tones: a new trend for those brides wanting something that is not a carryover, is bold jewel tones such as rich purple, red, gold and orange.Color in wedding gowns: this trend is slowing making its way from Europe. Look for it gain momentum. If your not ready to let go of your dream of a white gown, consider a colored sash.Back of the dress details: deep-v backs, special embroidery and other details are being paid to the back of the wedding dress.Viennese Tables: (also known as dessert tables) various desserts, ranging from cookies to truffles to chocolate fondue. Traditional family desserts make a nice touch for the table too.Letting the bridesmaid choose: we all know someone who (or are ourselves) are stuck with a bridesmaid's dress that never saw the light of day once we quickly shed it for something more flattering, after (or even before) we left the reception. Another carryover trend is either choosing a style and letting the bridesmaids choose a color that suits their complexion, or choosing a color and/or length and letting the bridesmaids choose the style.Donations to charity: instead of handing out matchbooks or boxes of chocolate, some couples are making donations in guests names. Additionally, some couples are asking for donations made to charity in lieu of presents.Asking quests - beforehand - what to play at the reception: one reason people don't dance at weddings? They aren't interested in the music. While it is your day, remember your guests, and incorporate what they like. Afterall, you want them to feel welcomed.Order of the Day cards: like a "mini-itenerary", these cards let everyone know when and what will be taking place from the beginning of the ceremony to the end of the reception. Also included would be any information regarding things which not all guests may understand (ie: jumping the broom, or breaking the glass etc.)Wedding "logos": another trend from Europe headed this way, is having a logo designed that goes on everything from the save-the-date cards to the napkins to the cake toppers (another returning trend) to the "just married" sign on the car.Glamour and elegance: it doesn't have to be a big affair to be either of these... but expect to see candelabras with flowers draping off, designer table linens (rather than just standard white) with punches of color thrown in by the napkins, pillar candles or table runners. Touchy-feely fabrics (such as leather and suede) are also making their way into the decorating. Subtle touches are added to stationary, centerpieces and trim.Groom's cake: a mainstay at Southern weddings, this trend is headed north. Be sure you understand it though, before you go pick one out. It is traditionally chocolate, and boxed and given to guests as they leave. A nice touch is to incorporate a hobby of the groom's into the cake. Consider using it as a centerpiece on the dessert table, or feature it at the rehearsal dinner.Square tables: gives the room a clean, modern feel.Forgoing the garter and bouquet toss: who wants to be singled out for this anyway?

In ending this list, I will say that no matter what the trends, choose according to what YOU like. Choose unique or subtle ways to incorporate these trends - but only if you like them. Don't feel pressured to choose what doesn't feel like it fits you and your style. The success of your marriage doesn't rest on following trends to be perfect, and neither should your wedding.

Best Wedding Cakes that Makes your Wedding Celebration successful

Go with something that is more creative and that you will love showing off to your friends and family. Finding the right individual to make it is important. The overall flavoring of your wedding cake needs to be determined as well. When there are several cakes to be made and displayed the cost will increase.

Do you want an icing that is very sweet or one that is more like whipped cream? The time it takes to decorate them will also be factored in. Customized wedding cakes are available from most locations too so tell them what you have in mind and they can create it. The number of people you will have at your wedding reception will influence the size of the wedding cake you purchase. Some of them are very basic in design featuring the colors for the wedding while others are very elaborately designed. It is one of the visual elements of the wedding reception that your guests won't be able to take their eyes off of. The size and style of your wedding cake is a big decision with so many gorgeous ones out there. It is also one that they will eagerly anticipate getting a slice of at the end of the evening.

Some are only one size of cake and others have many layers with a large cake on bottom and then smaller ones on the top. Do you want white cake, chocolate cake, or a combination for your guests to have the one they like the most? For example offering a lovely tier of Wedding Cupcakes instead of a traditional cake is a great idea. There are so many choices out there that you shouldn't have to take anything less than what you would really like to have for your special occasion. You can go online and look at pictures to see what your choices are. Not only will it cost less but your guests will find it more convenient to just select a cupcake than to have to wait for a slice of cake to be offered to them. The cost of a wedding cake will depend on what you go with. Have a great time finding the wedding cake that is right for your style of reception and for your budget.

The Wedding cake you decide upon needs to be one that looks wonderful and will taste great. If you want something that is reflective of you as a couple you can steer away from the more traditional wedding cakes. The more complex the overall decorating style is the more you will pay for your wedding cake. If you aren't going through a bakery make sure you find out what the credentials are for the person that will be making the cake. You need to know that they will get it done on time and that it will look amazing when they are done with it.

You don't want to trust your wedding day cake to just anyone. Some wedding cakes also have filling between the layers so that is something you can consider as well. On the other hand, you don't want to have lots of cake left over because that is a waste of money. You want to make sure you have enough of it to go around. There are some great choices out there today that you may want to consider off the beaten path. You can also look at pictures in any give bakery to see what they have to offer.

Finding a wedding cake you love is going to take some time so doesn’t put it off until the last minute.
