Trend Alert!

Katie here!

We are officially full swing into wedding season here!  We have had our first few out door ceremonies the past few weeks, and it's been fun watching from the office as brides walk down the aisle.  Seeing so many very different weddings is also giving me plenty of material to write about and new trends to report!  Without further ado....

A few blogs posts ago, Amanda told you about the revolutionary new trend circulating regarding fake cakes. A very interesting and budget-friendly alternative to traditional, expensive cakes. We are getting into the busy season here with weddings and already I have seen two weddings with another trend regarding cakes: individual cakes or cupcakes on the tables instead of floral arrangements as center pieces. The two weddings that I saw do this also had a larger cake for cutting, and while I didn’t get close to them (due to having a bad cold the past few weeks and not wanting to breathe on anyone), now that I am thinking about it, I am willing to bet at least one of these was a “fake cake” (because why have a large REAL cake, and 20 little ones?).

Both weddings were beautifully decorated, and the cakes and cupcakes were such little works of art, that no one missed the traditional floral arrangement center pieces. I know cupcakes at weddings have been around for few years, so this is not necessarily a “new” trend, but seeing them on the tables in unique arrangements as decorations is relatively new to me. And while the pricing might not necessarily be any different, it does save you money on having to purchase floral arrangements for the tables, which you only use for a few hours anyway and probably often cost a fortune.


I mean really, how cute is this?
