Planning your wedding will probably be the most overwhelming time in your life. Wedding planners help you save time and money while organizing all of your wedding details. The number 1 problem that we encounter are brides NOT sticking to a budget. Lot’s of couples set a budget then decide they need more of everything without keeping their budget in mind. This is a big mistake! It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of planning your wedding, but it’s important to stay within your budget. No one wants to be disappointed when you can’t pay for something you have your heart set on. A wedding planner is a smart move economically, we know your budget and can help you stick to it. We can also get more bang for your buck with the vendors as we bring repeat business to them. Planners are only as good as the vendors we support.

Wedding Budget
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Grooms Cake
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009One of my favorite assignments as a wedding planner is bringing the bride to pick out the groom’s cake. The groom’s cake dates back to the 19th century and is a very Southern tradition. It was often much smaller than the wedding cake and the flavor was usually the groom’s favorite. The most recognizable groom’s cake is the bleeding Armadillo cake from Shelby’s wedding in the movie Steel Magnolias. However today, the groom’s cake can be very elaborate and really reflect the groom’s personality. I find that most brides want to surprise the groom and these cakes can be very extravagant. With today’s bakers the sky is the limit on what you want your grooms cake to be…anything from his favorite sport to the entire sports stadium. Baker’s are taking groom’s cakes to a whole new level which can be seen on such shows as Ace of Cakes, Amazing Wedding Cakes and Cake Boss. Now remember, the grooms cake can cost as much if not more than the wedding cake depending on how elaborate your design. So, honor your groom with a cake to remember.
