Monogram Cake Toppers add Classic Personalization

August 28th, 2007 by Debbie

Monograms are a classic way to add some personalization to a wedding. It isn’t uncommon to have wedding invitations, guest books or toasting flutes personalized with a monogram but a new way to truly show off a monogram is by using monograms on cake tops. The monogram cake topper can be of the classic three letter variety or just the letter of the surname. Caketops are available in different types of materials like aluminum or acrylic and they can be accented with a spray of flowers depending on the style of the wedding.

A classic three initial monogram caketopper is created with a large letter representing the surname of the couple in the center flanked by small letters on each side used for the initials of the bride and groom. Done in silver, this type of monogram imparts a clean, contemporary look.

For those who prefer a more decorative style, an oval arched caketop with the letter of the surname in the center accented with jewels, floral sprays and etched glass provides a soft, dreamy feel.

For something truly sleek and sophisticated, a single freestanding 4” aluminum letter representing the surname is an option that makes a dramatic statement with its simplicity.

Or, achieve a modern yet retro look with an acrylic monogram caketopper. The etched initial cake topper on a 4” x 4” clear acrylic square complements any type of cake.

Celebrate Cultural Heritage with an Asian Wedding Theme

August 10th, 2007 by Debbie

A wedding is a perfect time to celebrate one’s cultural heritage. You can do this by incorporating traditional ceremonies or customs into the wedding. Asian themed weddings can be created through the use of accessories covered in rich red and gold fabrics as well as through traditional music, dress, dance and foods.

You can let guests know you’re planning an Asian wedding theme right from the start. Invitations or wedding programs in a red and gold bulletin style with the saying “Lucky in Love” on the front and the double happiness traditional symbol on the back make a dramatic statement alerting guests to the theme.

The theme can be carried out to the ceremony with the selection of accessories like an Asian wedding garter, pillar candles and tapers or a ring pillow made of tan satin and red Asian inspired fabric wrapped with gold cord. The combination of authentic silk brocade and rich gold accents is very striking and keeping with the cultural beliefs of “Prosperity and Good Luck.” The rings are held on with Chinese button detail.

Corral your Guests for a Western Wedding

August 8th, 2007 by Debbie

You don’t have to live in a home on the range to have a western wedding theme. You can round up the guests for a western themed wedding no matter where you live. With western inspired wedding accessories, the bride and groom will feel like a rodeo queen and bull rider in no time!

Western wedding accessories with decorative accents like cowboy hats and boots, fringe, horseshoes, and rope are a great way to add classic cowboy charm to your celebration.

Nothing says western more than a cowboy hat. The bride can wear a white cowgirl hat with the word “Bride” spelled out in diamante studs while the groom wears a black hat with a leather patch reading “The Groom.” The his and her hats are an amusing way to carry out the western theme.

Using fringe and rope trim on accessories like pillar candles, garters, pen holders, and cake server sets is sure to bring out the “Yee Haw” in everyone.

Another popular western motif is the horseshoe. A great alternative to the traditional type ring pillow is a genuine pewter horseshoe engraved with the words “Lucky in Love” that hangs from a white satin handle complete with ribbon to tie the rings onto.

The Lucky Horshoe can be hung in the couples home after the wedding.

Mini boot shot glasses are great as western wedding favors. They can be used for drinking or you can place coffee beans or a cactus inside as a cute take home gift for guests.
