*tribal drum rhythyms*

#5 — Simple Calla Lily Centerpiece

Want something quick and simple with all the elegance of a time-consuming arrangement? Try calla lilies arranged together in a tall rectangular vase! Whether a wide rectangular vase or something more square, calla lilies enhance the shape of the vase. Calla lilies also add the height needed to attract the eye. Unique vases paired with beautiful and classic flowers like calla lilies are an excellent addition to the wedding reception flowers.

This calla lily centerpiece was submitted by Kings Creek Flowers, a florist in Miami Florida specializing in wedding flowers.

#4 — Tall Centerpiece With LED Eiffel Tower Base

If you're looking for unique, this is the way to go. This tall centerpiece features roses coming out of an L.E.D. base in the shape of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This kind of centerpiece is great for themed wedding receptions or wedding receptions modeled after the enduring sensuousness that Parisians are famous for.

Even if the Eiffel Tower isn't your thing, the idea of a vase in the shape of something important to you or a famous landmark is something worth discussing with your florist.

This Eiffel Tower centerpiece was submitted by Perfect Presentations, wedding consultant and wedding florist in Tulsa Oklahoma.

#3 – Full Floral Centerpiece With Lights Inside The Vase

Anything that draws attention to the centerpiece itself is a winner. Unique ways to light the design are key to getting a quick glance in the direction of the flowers. ("Oohs" and "ahhhs" to follow) This unique floral centerpiece features a simple frosted vase with a few string lights on the inside. They glow almost like fireflies in the twilight sky in this photo. The full, massive appearance of the flowers at the top of the centerpiece really pulls the arrangement together in a fun way.

This lighted vase centerpiece was submitted by Always In Bloom, a talented florist in Knoxville Tennessee specializing in wedding flowers.

#2 — River Rocks and Beautiful Flowers Square Centerpieces

These centerpieces feature three key components for a truly beautiful and unique centerpiece for any wedding reception. First, the vases are a break from traditional round or cylindrical vases used in many arrangements. Square and rectangular vases add a hint of something more classy but not classic, stylish and not dated.

Another great appeal of the tall centerpiece is that the vase is lined with river rocks. This breaks up the look of simply flowers in a vase. Plus, the color contrast works splendidly with the orchids inside the vase. Finally, the flowers themselves are gorgeous and appealing to the eye with their stunning green color.

This tall centerpiece in a rectangular vase was submitted by Monday Morning Flower & Balloon Co., a florist in Princeton New Jersey.

#1 – Orchids Floating In Water Centerpiece

You can count on floating flowers centerpieces to get a great reaction at the wedding reception. These are so unique and up-and-coming that many brides are discovering their "awe" factor thanks to local florists who specialize in contemporary floral centerpieces. This beautiful centerpiece features orchids under water with a floating candle on top. Clear glass rocks at the bottom sparkle and shimmer for a complete look

This beautiful floating centerpiece was submitted by Apple Blossoms Floral Design & Gifts, a wedding florist in Tampa Florida.

This month's theme is "contemporary wedding cakes" so I've decided to spotlight some of the most popular and all-around favorite contemporary wedding cakes from Wedding And Party Network's bakeries. I've even included details so you'll know where to buy similar cakes and what to ask for when you're shopping for a wedding cake. Enjoy!

*circus style fanfare*

#5 Wedding Cake With A Taste of Blue Flowers

This wedding cake is a nice blend of traditional and modern. For a slight contemporary flair, blue flowers were used as a cake topper and icing decorations of the same color were used on each tier. For a very quick dash of modern attitude, liven up your wedding cake with color.

This wedding cake with blue flowers was submitted by Beautiful Weddings On A Budget, a wedding coordinator in Fort Campbell Kentucky.

#4 Fruit Basket Wedding Cake

This is one wedding cake that's almost too unique to top! It is shaped like three stacked harvest baskets ready to be filled with summer fruit. The cool thing about is that it's a wedding cake! "Unique" and "contemporary" are almost interchangeable when it comes to wedding cakes so this one was sure to make the cut.

This harvest basket contemporary wedding cake was submitted by Toria Dolce Fine Desserts & Wedding Cakes, a wedding cake bakery in Ashaway Rhode Island.

#3 Asian Inspired Wedding Cake With Red Flowers

This is a very beautiful wedding cake with red flowers because red is an important color in Asian weddings. Red and white paired together are very powerful colors in many Asian cultures so this wedding cake is the perfect blend for a happy couple.

The three tiers at first appear to be just normal square tiers of buttercream icing and tasty cake but no! Black ribbons around the base of each tier provide a small accent for both the white color of the cake and the bright red flowers used to adorn each tier. A few Asian wedding decorations and the theme is set!

This Asian inspired wedding cake was submitted by Gourmet On The Go, delicious caterers in Victorville California.

#2 Pink & Black Polka Dotted Wedding Cake

You can't get much more contemporary than this funky wedding cake! This is four tiers of fun as far as any modern bride is concerned. Hot pink and black polka dots come together brilliantly against a solid white cake. Pink flowers used as cake toppers and as decorations around the base of the cake help create an inviting display for this incredibly modern wedding cake.

This polka dotted wedding cake was submitted by Bake My Day, a wedding cake bakery in Louisville Kentucky.

#1 Black & White Mini Fondant Cakes

Elaborate fanfare is much deserved for this wedding cake–or rather wedding cakes. Black and white colors were used to create a very modern color palette. As opposed to a cupcake wedding cake, this couple chose small mini cakes covered decorated to look like tiny gift boxes. Each small cake was covered in fondant for a very precise finish. The top tier is a small cake for the couple with a fun black and white cake topper to finish out the look of the cake. From top tier to bottom tier, this definitely deserves to be the #1 contemporary wedding cake of the month.

This awesome mini fondant wedding cake display was submitted by Just Ones Cakes & Catering, an Albuquerque New Mexico wedding cake bakery.

It's hard NOT to be impressed by Designs In Sugar. Really! If you could taste the sugar flowers and gumpaste figurines (and you can!), you would quickly realize why brides all across Collierville, Tennessee are looking for reasons to order another cake!

Designs In Sugar is Collierville's best kept secret! Myra Govea de Arce is the sugarcraft genius behind the handmade sugar flowers and edible figurines crafted out of gum paste (gumpaste). For those who aren't familiar with gum paste creations, gum paste is a sugar dough used to make figurines much like those made with ceramic or porcelain. The difference between them?? Gum paste is edible!

This is great news for brides wanting unique and edible cake toppers as well as edible cake decorations. Most brides are familiar with fondant when they order a wedding cake. Similar to this but with the brilliance of Designs In Sugar infused, gum paste flowers and sugar flowers are the key to a gorgeous and entirely edible wedding cake.

Throwing a party instead of a wedding? Call Designs In Sugar anyway! Every cake deserves the sugarcraft confections from Designs In Sugar.

Call ahead and reserve your sugar art from Designs In Sugar.

Myra goes out of her way to make sure that each of her creations is above board, above par, and above your wildest expectations. In fact, whatever you're expecting when you first see her gum paste creations on the cake should be disregarded. Those expectations will be far exceeded. Anything less is, well, just not something you'll find at Designs In Sugar.

Get the best of the best in catering for your occasion. The best in Fort Worth, Texas? Well that title belongs to Louise Lamensdorf of Bistro Louise. Her multiple award-winning recipes have even earned her television appearances on The Food Network and Good Morning Texas among other.

So what's so great about Bistro Louise's new American Mediterranean cuisine that makes Bon Appetit, The Cooks Magazine, Fort Worth Star Telegram, Fort Worth Texas Magazine, Texas Monthly and Tasteful Treasures want to feature the food in their magazines? The taste. The experience. The pleasure.

One taste will get you. It will have you hooked. Already touted as "Fort Worth's premier seafood restaurant," Bistro Louise is a step above anything you've ever thought was quality Mediterranean food. It doesn't matter whether it's sampling from the dinner menu or appetizing lunch menu. Regardless of the meal you choose, there isn't a bad meal to be had at Bistro Louise.

Where did Louise get a knack for cooking these marvels? Bistro Louise was founded in 1996 with an American cuisine highly influenced from cooking in France, Italy and Spain. This is European flair at its finest. The meat is fresh, often flown in from seaports across the world.

Being a native of New Orleans and of French ancestry herself, it was no wonder that the impecable reputation of French cuisine comes to life in Bistro Louise food. Louise also spent nearly a decade partnering to run the French Apron school for teaching starting chefs to prepare European cuisine. Louise also apprenticed under the first chef to lead the U.S. Olympic Culinary Team.

The list goes on and on. The gist though? You can't find a better European-style caterer in Fort Worth, Texas. If you're in the mood for tasty foods with a wholesome Mediterranean flair, you simply must contact Bistro Louise in Fort Worth. Your happy stomach will thank you!
