Choosing a wedding cake

It is one of the sweetest battles you will have to endure when planning the wedding reception. Even when you decide the type of cake you want, you have the selection of flavors and filling to figure out.  From traditonal chocolate and vanilla to light and fruity flavors like strawberry and lemon (my personal fav). The many choices can be overwhelming because there are so many amazing wedding cake ideas out there.

In fact, one of the most exciting aspects of the day may be the wedding cake. The size, the craftsmanship, and the deliciousness are all things that guests look forward to.Many individuals love going to weddings and seeing the large wedding cake just waiting to be eaten. And to fall in line with tradition of the bride and groom cutting the cake and feeding each other the first bite. (but thats a topic for another blog) Lastly, the cake should represent the theme or vibe of your wedding day. Cheers! cake


Things to consider when ordering your cake….

  1. Number of guests to feed?
  2. Are you serving a heavy lunch or dinner before the cake?
  3. Are you serving alcohol during the reception?
  4. How long is your reception?
  5. Your budget?

Once you answer these questions you are well on your way to schedule a tasing at your favorite bakery.

Creating the “WOW” factor on a limited budget!

You too can create that “Wow” factor with any less-than-perfect venue.

Down the road, our clients family and guests won’t remember the venue nearly as much as they remember the great food, the fun entertainment and the company of friends they experienced the ceremony with. Those are the memories our clients cherish. If the venue is ugly or even just dark or boring, make the other areas shine. Serve a fabulous meal, provide unique and fun entertainment and make the guest tables look fabulous.  Set down with our fabulous planning team an we will assist you with finding your “WOW” factor too. Here are a few tips to get your started…..

  • Part of our brainstorming session will include how to bring out the best in the venue. Work with what is available. Are the ceilings low? Look for ways to take advantage of the cozy feel. Is the lighting bad? Perhaps running strings of light along the walls and ceilings will brighten it up. Are the walls drab? Fix this by spacing bright centerpieces along the walls that will draw the eyes.
  • Use trendy chair covers to give an elegant touch while hiding the unsightly but usable seats already at the venue. Or if the budget allows, rent new chairs.
  • Rent drapes to freshen up the space.
  • Drape areas of the walls or ceilings with fabric. Accent them with up-lighting and chandeliers.
  • Use eye catching centerpieces and colorful linens to draw attention away from bleak areas and focus on the guest tables.
  • Cover floors with fabric, rented carpet, or a rented wood floor covering.
  • Scatter flower petals along the floor or walkways to guide your guests along the way.
  • Use plants and flower arrangements liberally. You may even look into renting trees and potted plants from a nursery to further enhance that natural feel.

We know you will love these idea, and we have just the team of vendors to create this masterpiece.  Contact us today to start planning your  “WOW” wedding!  Our goal is to do better events, not more events. We offer event day coordination & partial event planning for couples that started the planning process but need some extra help. We feel our best work  is when we are involved through the whole planning process (full service) and can recommend the team of vendors who fit best with each client. We are all strong in design and it’s important to use our creativity with each event.       www.tulsaweddings.com email Sharon@tulsaweddings.com.
