Whether you’re ordering a wedding cake, other desserts, or both, figuring out how much to order can be a challenge. You don’t want to run out on your wedding day, but you also don’t want to be left with a mountain of uneaten sweets. Here are some helpful tips to ensure you have the perfect amount of dessert for your big day! How Much Cake Should You Order? When it comes to cake, we recommend one slice per guest. If you’re opting for a dessert table , you’ll need 2-3 bites per guest, which can sometimes make dessert tables pricier than a traditional cake. If the cake is served as the main dessert, guests will often devour it, and couples may find they miss out on having a slice themselves! For the best experience, we suggest serving cake at the end of dinner, when guests still have room for dessert. Serving it later, when everyone’s dancing and drinking, might result in fewer people noticing or enjoying it. The Cake as the Reception Centerpiece Your cake can be a key element of your reception decor, serving as both a visual highlight and a sweet treat. Whether it’s a simple buttercream design adorned with fresh florals or a more intricate, themed creation, the cake always makes a statement. A beautifully crafted cake can be a memorable part of your wedding, leaving a lasting impression on your guests for years to come. Cakes and Desserts: A Trending Approach A recent trend we’re seeing more of is couples opting for a miniature cake paired with a selection of other treats. These mini cakes provide a focal point for cake cutting without the commitment of a full-size cake. It’s a fun way to balance tradition while also offering variety, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The Importance of Serving Cake While unique desserts are a fun way to showcase your personality, the wedding cake remains a beloved tradition that many guests look forward to. Having both cake and additional treats is a great way to offer variety and ensure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you choose a classic tiered cake or mix it up with other dessert options, incorporating a cake can still be a sweet highlight of your celebration. Don’t forget to ask your planner to box up a slice for you to savor later! We hope these expert tips will help you to have your cake and eat it too!

Choosing your wedding florals is an exciting part of the planning process, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming! With several years of experience providing stunning floral designs through our sister company, Fleur Affair , we’re here to help you navigate this essential aspect of your big day. Decide on Your Wedding Colors Choosing your wedding colors is the first step in your floral design journey. Your color palette will serve as the foundation for many design decisions, so it’s important to select shades that resonate with you and complement your overall vision. Budget Wisely Establish a realistic floral budget early on. Discussing your budget openly with your florist will help them tailor their suggestions to suit your financial plan while still delivering a breathtaking design. Create Your Wedding Inspiration Hub Start by creating a dedicated Pinterest board for your wedding to gather visual inspiration for floral arrangements, color schemes, and overall style. This will help clarify your vision and serve as a reference for your florist. To streamline the planning process, set up a Google Drive folder to house all your floral inspiration, color palettes, and relevant notes. This central repository will make it easy for both you and your florist to access and refer back to the information at any time. By combining these two tools, you'll have a cohesive and organized approach to your wedding floral planning! Choose Your Flowers Communicate openly with your florist about the flowers you absolutely want and those you’d prefer to avoid.Your florist will provide expert guidance on which blooms will enhance your design and inform you about seasonal availability. Keep in mind that some flowers may not be accessible on your wedding date. If that happens, your florist will suggest similar options to achieve the desired look. Consider the Venue Think about how your chosen flowers will complement your venue. Take note of the space’s colors, textures, and lighting. Florals that harmonize with the setting can elevate the overall ambiance of your wedding. While it’s great to have a clear vision, staying open to your florist’s expertise can truly elevate your wedding florals. Florists have years of experience understanding the intricacies of flowers—knowing what’s in season, which blooms hold up best, and how to create cohesive designs that fit your vision. Sometimes, specific flowers may not be available or practical for your wedding day. That’s where your florist’s expertise comes in. They can suggest similar alternatives or even recommend incorporating high-quality faux florals for larger installations, ensuring your design is stunning without compromising quality or budget. By trusting their knowledge and being flexible, you’ll achieve floral arrangements that reflect your style while staying realistic.
