Wedding Cake Topper Trends

From the city chic wedding, to the rustic country wedding, plan every detail to contribute to the overall theme you want for your wedding. Creating an atmosphere is all about the details; whether it’s the decor, the location, or just the cake topper, realizing your wedding day vision is an exciting task.

This year, we’re seeing some new trends in wedding cake toppers, not to mention a twist on some timeless classics. No matter what your wedding theme might be, and no matter what cake topper you might choose, every bride and groom-to-be should remember one thing: make it personalized. After all, without personalization, your cake topper is just a generic item with little meaning. Whether it’s incorporating your wedding colors, using a monogram, or adding your likeness, personalized cake toppers are always “in”.

Monogramming is by far the most popular personalization option for weddings, and has been a long standing tradition that is still holding strong today. Debuting your initials for the first time as a married couple is not only a point of pride, but it can also be incorporated into many details in your reception: none more prominent than your cake topper. Monogram cake toppers are a classic yet modern alternative to the traditional bride and groom “figures”. Easily suited to any type of cake, or cupcake stand, letter initials are a chic and simple cake topper idea for any wedding. Here are just a few examples of fun, modern and personalized wedding cake toppers that suit any theme.

Looking to keep it simple? Try a unique new trend and add a tiny bunting banner to the top of your cake. Personalize it with your initials, last name, or stick to your wedding colors for a fun, sweet, vintage take on the traditional cake topper options. This is a great option for those already looking to use bunting flag banners as decor for their reception, which is another hot trend in weddings this year.

If you like the idea of a bride and groom cake topper, why not go for one with a modern twist? Bird cake toppers are very popular this year, adding a rustic and vintage touch to the traditional cake topper tradition. Personalize them with your wedding’s colors, and even have them made in your own likeness (including suit and tie and birdcage veil!) for a fun and sweet touch.

Despite the wide variety of traditions, beliefs, and preferences, wedding cake toppers are a detail every bride and groom-to-be can enjoy.

Cherished Moments Captured in Photography

photographyYour wedding day is a memory that will last a lifetime. Photographing these special moments is a crucial part of the experience essential to document every cherished moment.

Communication…

Being able to communicate honestly with the photographer with specific pictures you desire is critical. Every photographer is different from the next so having an understanding of what exactly a photographer does is essential. Here are some tips to guide you through the process of choosing the photographer that suits your needs.

Financial Plan…

The services of a photographer represent experience, expertise, qualifications and technique. Prices will vary and usually the higher the price, the higher the experience the photographers qualifications are. Quality pictures with vivid colors will be the result of a professional photographer. Basically, you get what you pay for.

Wedding photography Sydney based range in the area from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the quantity and quality of photos and the amount of time spent. If you want the photographer to spend the day from the bride getting ready to the reception, it is wise to choose a higher quality photographer to capture the moments at its best. There is only one chance to snap the perfect photo and a cheaper photographer may miss the shot.

Photographers Expense…

The prices are based on the materials and the amount of time spent on a wedding. A photographer carries high end expensive equipment and might spend over 60 hours developing the pictures in order to produce an amazing photo album.

Choosing a Photographer…

A good place to begin is by referrals or a bridal gallery. Choose a few photographers and meet with them in order to establish a friendly relationship and review their previous works. Make sure the photographer is accredited prior to hiring.

Having a friend or family member taking the pictures of your wedding is not a good idea.
An amateur photographer does not have the skills, experience or knowledge to know how to plan for the once in a lifetime shots that happens within seconds. Once the moment has passed there is no retakes.

Booking a Photographer…

Once the wedding date has been set it is now time to find and book the most qualified wedding photography Sydney based. A deposit is normally requested holding that specified date for you. A contract between both parties is good idea so there are no misunderstandings of what you expect.

Viewing Proofs…

An appointment will be set by the photographer to view the proofs, plan the layout and any extras you may choose. You now have lasting memories of the special day forever.

Inspiration Palette #16

It’s been awhile since I did an inspiration palette, so I thought it was finally time to get back to it. This time, I was inspired by a truly gorgeous engagement ring by Lulu, who I featured in a previous post here. I really can’t get over how beautiful her jewelry is. Going with a classic, girly, vintage type theme, the peachy pink Morganite center stone really inspired this color scheme.
