All in the Details: Cakes

99.9% of the BBP Brides will tell you that a wedding is all about the details. Well, after the bride and groom of course! What IS a detail? Is it more than pretty shoes and a vintage handkerchief?

Yes...................... and no! The details that a bride will carry through her wedding depend completely on the bride and her personal style. Some brides opt for the simple details, flowers that carry through the ceremony and reception, a borrowed hankie, or a well thought out and oft repeated color scheme-- sometimes right down to repeating tones on bridesmaids tote bags and sandals for the location shoot. Other brides employ custom wedding logos that appear on everything from the invitation to the flowers, cake, and guest tables at the reception. The sky is really the limit (along with the budget of course)! Let's focus on the wedding cake!

this traditional and elegant topper from Mary & Chance.

The topper above is from Christina & Ron's wedding, included here because of the current trend towards all things botanical.

Whatever cake topper you choose make sure it reflects your theme, your personalities, and of course your budget. Your cake professional can show you zillions of great choices custom tailored to your wedding.

Bon Appetit!
