If your flower is a peony…

By Hayley, 20 June, 2010 9:39 am

…then you just have to take a look at this beautiful cake which I found on The Roxy Cake blog. Each individual peony is hand made from icing and the colours as you can see are to die for. You’d be mad not to like it!

Sweets Galore

There’s still a child in all of us, so why don’t you treat your guests to a table to sweet delights rather than the traditional wedding favours! Simply place an empty bag on each table and let your guests fill up at their own leisure. I went to a wedding recently that did exactly this, it was so much fun and the kids loved it too!

Create your own vintage table designs

By Hayley, 29 April, 2010 10:40 am

Why not save the pennies and create your own vintage wedding table.  You can collect crockery and various other items from car boot sales, charity shops and other brick a brack shops around your area.  You’ll be surprised what you can pick up for 50p when next door they’re selling it for £20.00.  Its definately worth looking around. All things vintage is a hot topic and has been for a while now so get out there and create your own style, it not only looks great but can be a fraction of the price.

Something quirky

Why go for the traditional wedding cake when you can choose something a little more unique like this divided homemade  cake.  It not only looks delicious but it’s things litle this that will add to your vintage DIY wedding and something more personal to you, and of course a fraction of the price!

Cupcake Favours as an alternative to a wedding cake…its possible…

By Hayley, 24 January, 2010 9:05 am

Some people would rather not have a wedding cake.  Although its nice to capture that moment of you both cutting the cake its sometimes nice to do something a bit different.  I found a great alternative…these cupcakes all wraped beautifully and customised to suit.  A really great idea, and if your guests are too tipsy to remember your cake,  instead they can  take it home and enjoy it the following day…perfect!
