5 Hot Wedding Cake Trends For 2009

There are several wedding cake trends gaining popularity this year. These high fashion fondant creations are sure to catch the eye of every guest and make mouths water from miles around. Consider these ideas when meeting with your wedding cake consultant.
1. Black and White Pattern Wedding Cakes. It seems everywhere you look you'll see the Parisian wallpaper trend. So, why not in the wedding scene? This design is very elegant and quite stunning on a round tiered wedding cake. To blend this trend in with your other wedding decorations, use the pattern on other things such as napkins or tablecloth overlays.

2. CHOCOLATE!!! Forget traditional vanilla, switch it up! This year several brides are choosing dark chocolate truffle wedding cakes with beautiful detail and glamour. Give chocolate a chance! If you’re scared of the rich flavor, serve fruit along side such as raspberries or strawberries.

3. No Flowers Needed Just Crisp Details. Arts and crafts has gone chic in the wedding world this year. Crisp lines, exposed stitching and seamstress inspired details top the cake trends this season. Add detail to a light hued cake with vintage fondant buttons and fancy piping for a high fashion quilted look.

4. No Ordinary Shape Will Do. Brides are exploring their wedding cake shape options cakes this year. Oval tiers, cube tiers, and even asymmetric tiers (this can be complicated). These new styles are fresh and creative ways to spice up the otherwise ordinary cake shapes. Some of these new styles do compromise the amount of cake you get. So these might be great ideas for small, intimate weddings.

5. Small Makes A Big Statement. All the rage this year, mini cakes have become popular practically overnight. These mini cakes or personal cakes are part of the wedding decor. They surround the wedding cake and are adorned with a contrasting color to create a visual delight and a tasty treat. Mini cakes can also become gifts for guests. Package these cakes in favor boxes to send home with guests for wedding favors. (Two bird’s with one stone!)

Take these ideas along when you meet with your wedding cake consultant or baker and explore the options of a high fashion wedding cake for your 2009 wedding! Happy eating!

The Colors of Our Life: Irresistible Bridal Shoes

You may remember reading about colorful bridal shoes in my November blog, Wedding Attire Trends For 2009:  The Colors of Choice!. If not, this will be a helpful bit of "news" about what's hot this year.

Colored bridal shoes are pretty awesome. I love the look of a bride who matches her shoes to the colorful sash around her bodice. It helps the bride define her personality. Is she bold and vivacious? Then she'll probably pair pink, gold or silver bridal shoes with her dress. Is she traditional? Then look for cream, ivory or white wedding shoes.

What you wear on your feet may seem like a small matter, but everything matters to the bride on her wedding day. Shoes are just as important as jewelry, hair, makeup, flowers, and the filling for the bon-bon wedding favors. Everything matters because the wedding day is all about the bride, her tastes, her interests, her love and new life.

Modern weddings are as much a celebration of the woman as of the union. It's a chance to let the bride shine. Her bridal shoes will be the ones that carry her up the aisle on the arm of her father and down the aisle on the arm of her husband. These shoes will stay with her through the long night of dancing at the wedding reception. The bride's shoes will be with her during every special moment of the wedding day. It's important to have the right ones!

When it's time to buy bridal shoes in 2009, consider these popular colors:

  • Gold — Bridal shoes to treasure!
  • Pink — Wedding shoes so sweet and lovely!
  • Clear — Bridal shoes that go with everything!
  • Silver — Wedding shoes with a contemporary look!
  • Ivory — Bridal shoes with vintage appeal!
  • White — Bridal shoes for the traditional woman!
