Traditional Black and White Wedding Favor Cake

Cutting of a wedding cake was traditionally the first act that a bride and groom would do together.  It was symbolic of the committment that they had made to care and provide for one another.  Each guest was given a piece of the cake to take home and place under their pillow.  Doing this would bring about sweet dreams of their future spouse. 

But what happens when you don’t like the taste of cake, but like the looks of it?  Wedding Olala offers the perfect solution.  Found at Costco’s website, you can customize Favor Cakes to your wedding colors or theme.  Each cake offers individual favors, perfect for your guests to take home!  Use them as centerpieces for each table or a single 5-layer Favor Cake in place of a traditional cake.  You can order them via Costco’s website, unassembled, or through Wedding Olala, assembled.  Whatever you choose, be sure to tell your guests to savor their treats with sweet dreams! 

Check out the Wedding Favor Cake Video to see how they are assembled!

Manage wedding tasks with Google docs!

April 1st, 2010

 

 

Google docs has teamed up with Style me Pretty to create several useful documents that are meant just for brides and grooms.  Now you can manage your guest list, keep track of wedding vendors and adjust your seating chart in real-time, via the internet.  The best part of Google docs is that the document can be updated by others (hello mother-of-the-groom!) and the on-line copy is the only copy of the document… so you won’t accidentally e-mail an old guest list to your calligrapher.

Mongograms

Monograms are a chic and elegant symbol of a couple’s new life together.  Monograms can come in a variety of different styles such as one large letter for your last name or three letters with your first initials sandwiching a large last name initial.  Another way to go  is two letters such as “K&D”, which is a great way to go if you are not taking your partner’s last name.

Monograms can be on anything from an invitation to a manicure set for your bridesmaids, have fun being creative with your monogram.  Take a look at New and Blue for lots of great monogram ideas!

Cherry Blossom Wedding Theme

November 30th, 2009

 

 

Wedding themes are a great way to add a personal flare to your wedding.  If you are looking for a theme for your summer wedding, you are not limited to starfish and sea shells!  Cherry blossoms make a great theme for a summer or late spring wedding.

When choosing a theme it is fun to carry the theme forward from the Save the Date, all the way through to the thank you notes.  Search the on New and Blue.com in the Search box for all kinds of ideas.  i.e. Search: Cherry Tree, Cherry Blossom, Butterfly, etc.

Asia has an old and mystical culture, which is why the upcoming wedding trend for today’s couple is towards the fusion of Asian culture with Western wedding.  Cherry blossoms often play an important part of Asian fusion weddings.

Asian fusion ideas include: paper parasols, shoji style paper lanterns, lucky bamboo plants in small, brightly-colored vases or bamboo stems in clear square glass vases.

Your guests might also enjoy the festive, cozy feel of hanging lanterns and silk fans!!

The cake can carry your cherry blossom theme to even greater heights by including cherry blossoms, lotus blossoms, orchids and dragonflies.
