Fall Wedding Cake Accessories

Fall Wedding Cakes

Your fall wedding may just call for a fall wedding cake! Themed cakes have become more popular in the last few years, and seasons offer a great way to make your wedding cake unique. And while you may want your wedding cake to have a more traditional taste, you can still give it a fall accent. Consider the following ideas:

• Silk leaves in autumn colors scattered on and around your cake help to carry the fall theme.
• Group small, ornamental squash and pumpkins around the base of your cake and scatter them around the tables.
• Leaves created from sugar also make great cake accessories. What’s the best part? They’re edible, too!
• Combine the colors of fall, from leaves to ornamental squash, with the colors of a variety of fruit. Just before the reception, add clusters of blueberries and strawberries, sliced oranges, and a scattering of macadamia nuts for a unique twist.

It’s a great event to get a gorgeous dress for a bargain of a price since all dresses are either $249,$499 or $699…That’s it! I’ve seen $7000 Vera Wangs for $249.

Green weddings….with elegance

Don’t need lots of useless wedding gifts? Ask for money.

So as many wedding gifts are duplicates of items from other guests or stuff you already own, why not register for money? Reebles.com is offering a gift registry just for money. Rather than worry about cash, checks, gift cards and the like, have your guests give you money online. Guests can give you money gifts at Reebles who will then wire or send you the money on your wedding day (which is great if you plan to use the money for your honeymoon) The only down side is they take 8%, but it doesn’t cost your guests anything. It could be worth knowing the money you receive is safe and readily available and you can link to their registry directly from your wedding website (or use the inserts they’ll send you). Have a look.
