A small wedding often denotes a small number of guests and with that, you don’t have to prepare a wedding cake that would end up uneaten.

Budget Wedding Cake Ideas

Having a tight budget is one of the main reasons many couples opt for smaller wedding cakes and if you are looking for the best wedding cake on a budget, opt for single tiered cakes. Two- or three tiered wedding cakes can be a little costly because of the work needed in putting one on top of another. Single tiered wedding cakes can also be as elegant as you want it to be.

Wedding Cake Messages for your Wedding Cake Design

Example Wedding Cake Messages for your Wedding Cake Design

Wedding cakes are big attractions at a wedding reception and if you are about to get married and planning your cake, you may be thinking of having wedding cake messages on it. True, it is not common to have messages on a wedding cake but there are unique messages that can make your wedding cake special and elegant as well.

One popular trend when it comes to wedding cakes is writing your vows on them. Of course, wedding vows can be very long but you can pick a good line and have it on your cake. In fact, I knew one bride who had her vows on her wedding cake. Her fondant cake was artistically designed with small writing that you could easily mistake as simple patterns from far away – but actually their wedding vows were written in small font around the cake. Cake art can take time but with a good cake artist, you can pull this off with flying colors for your wedding cake design. In fact, their wedding cake pictures looked fabulous too.

You can also choose to put simple messages and wishes on the cake – such as ‘together forever‘ or ‘happiness‘ or ‘love‘, ‘happy ever after‘ and so on. Having these texts as part of your wedding cake design can be another option to consider and it’s worth talking to your wedding planner about it. Wedding cakes with messages are not so common, having a good message will make your cake unique – just make sure it’s designed well by a professional.

n some cases, messages for the wedding cake are printed on ribbons and hidden inside during the making of the cake. Like a fortune cookie, the single ladies at the wedding each take a ribbon from the cake and read their fortune or some nice messages. 

Of course, there are variations for using messages with your wedding cake, although wedding cake monograms are popular, creating an elegant and stylish look. Wedding showers are also occasions where you can have a cake with a message on it, your wedding shower cake messages can be funny and fit the theme of the party.

 

“To the bride and groom”

“A sweet start to your life together”

“A shower of good wishes”

“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved”

“Today, tomorrow and forever”

“Happiness today and always”

“Love is grand”

“Showers of good fortune”

“Showers of love”

“Spread love everywhere you go”

“Here’s to a sweet life together”

“Peace, love and happiness are yours”

“Cheers to the Happy Couple”

“Live, laugh, love”

“Our Happy Wedding”
———————————————

You may also include a cake monogram for a cake topper and you can even have funny wedding cake messages if you like that kind of thing. Indeed, there are a number of choices when it comes to the best wedding cake message for your cake.

How to Buy Cheap Silk Flowers for Weddings

How to Buy Cheap Silk Flowers for Weddings

Silk flowers can be good substitutes for real, fresh flowers nowadays. In fact, more and more people are choosing silk flowers for their wedding flower needs. Read how you can find cheap silk flowers for weddings and save money..

As a wedding planner, it is important that all aspects of my clients wedding is perfect. Flowers play an important role in weddings and I only have one chance to get them right.

I tried using silk corsages and silk rose bouquets and was satisfied that they didn’t look fake at all and I even have a bunch of beautiful silk flowers in my office that look fresh at all times and last as long as I want.

However, one thing I realized when purchasing silk flowers is that, it is not always true that silk flowers are cheaper than fresh ones. In fact, it can be the other way around. When I have been out looking for silk flowers, I have found those of superior quality a little expensive. Cost can be a factor when couples are looking to plan a wedding on a budget.

But of course, you don’t have to worry. There are ways that can help you find top-quality artificial flowers without the high price. Here are a few things I’ve learned when buying silk artificial flowers.

Hunt for Silk Flowers Online if You Want a Discount

Indeed! You can start searching online for silk flowers and check out and compare prices. This way you can start looking for discounts, great finds and of course, reliable manufacturers. Although you may never know online if they feel like real flowers, you can at least read reviews and testimonials from other customers and you can check them out personally later. If you are in the UK then you should check out www.flowerconcept.com – they have a wide range of artificial wedding flowers and you get free delivery on orders over 75 pounds.

In my case, I found a reliable dealer of artificial flowers through a website forum. I asked around and got feedback from past customers. Of course, I suggest that you do not rely solely on reviews and testimonials. You need to see samples to make sure they use top quality materials and the replication is of the finest quality. Anyway, I can recommend www.efavormart.com for garlands, lilies, roses and many more, you can even get the ribbons from them.

Buy Silk Flowers in Bulk to Save on Delivery Costs

Another option I can suggest to save from your silk flower purchase is to buy them in bulk. Buying in bulk almost always allow you to get lower prices, so take advantage of this.  Especially if you are purchasing them from locations where shipping is involved, I suggest you buy in bulk to get discounts and save yourself from shipping or delivery costs as well.

Buy from Silk Flower Wholesalers

Flowers are often needed in huge quantities, especially if you need them for weddings and other events, thus I would always recommend getting in touch with silk flower suppliers who are wholesalers if possible. I usually search for them online, check out their products and make sure they have a good number of reviews and satisfied customers. You can ask for samples or you can visit their shop if the distance allows you and compare their wholesale prices with the retail ones. This way you can be sure that you are indeed getting good discounts.

Looking for artificial alternatives? Foam flowers for weddings are a great choice.

Cheap doesn’t mean inferior

Some people associate cheaper prices with inferior quality but it does not follow at all times. Sometimes a little patience and good negotiation skills can help you find reasonable prices and do away with unnecessary costs without having to compromise product quality. So, if you are looking for silk flowers for weddings and other events, learn how to get them at cheaper, reasonable prices.

Amazing Silk Flower Centerpieces – Flower Arrangements for Weddings

Amazing silk flower centerpieces on top of your reception dining tables can really make a big difference in turning a plain table into something vibrant and elegant. Whether you have a dining table to decorate or any wedding table, silk floral centerpieces indeed liven them up with flair and appeal. In fact, I fell in love with beautiful floral arrangements so much that I wanted to learn how to make them.

Especially with silk flowers, I find flower arrangement a good thing to try. Silk artificial flowers are easy to work with and are lightweight. You won’t worry about damaging them. Centerpieces made of artificial flowers can also last as long as you want and in fact, this is one thing that you wish was true for fresh flowers as well.

Silk Flower Wedding Arrangements

Anyway, one reason why I wanted to learn floral arranging and make centerpieces from silk flowers is the demand for this elegant art at weddings and in many other important events. In fact, knowledge in choosing the types of flowers that go well with each other and learning how to make amazing centerpieces can be a good skill and a hobby that you can enjoy and make money from as well.

When it comes to silk wedding centerpieces, you may stick with the wedding flowers that the bride choses or at least make it a dominant flower, and add others that can accentuate your centerpiece. You don’t have to stick to one type of flower though. There are combinations that will truly bring color and elegance to your wedding theme.

For wedding centerpieces, you can mix and match hydrangeas and lilies; gerbera daisies and roses; peonies, roses and delphinium and many other combinations. You can even put together different colors of the same flower like white, pink and red peonies. What is good about silk flowers is that, you can have one type of flower and you can get it in different colors of your choice.

You can also add accents like river rocks and silk flower stems to add more beauty to your flower arrangement. You can also experiment with different vases and plant containers to enhance your floral art.

At an office-mate’s wedding, I really fell in love with their wedding centerpiece in which rose petals were made to float in decorative containers and became more dramatic with candlelight. In fact, I have seen silk rose bouquets that are also made into decorative wedding centerpieces. A little creativity and imagination is all you need.

Silk Flower Supplies for Floral Arrangements

Do you have an interest in making centerpieces? If so, the first thing you need is to make sure you have the available materials at hand. Aside from silk flowers of your choice, you can also add silk flower stems to your materials. If you like the idea of floating petals on your centerpiece, you can also find artificial ones for this purpose.

 

For silk floral supplies, I usually ask my local silk flower shop for some of their accessories for flower arrangements and centerpieces and they usually provide what’s available. It helps being a regular customer! Find a reliable shop that does not only provide flowers but will also give you options for getting arranged flowers as centerpieces. You can even ask for silk flower arrangement ideas as well.

Silk Flowers Make Wonderful Centerpieces

Indeed, realistic silk flowers make wonderful centerpieces and even if you do not know how to do it on your own, you can always order them arranged right from the shop. I suggest, if you are decorating a wedding table, getting some ready-made floral centerpieces will save you time, especially as you would normally need a fairly huge number of flowers for a wedding.

Why Choose Artificial Floral Foam Flowers for Weddings?

Why Choose Artificial Floral Foam Flowers for Weddings?

I told my friend about foam flowers for weddings and she seemed surprised about using fake flowers for her wedding. It’s true, there are artificial floral alternatives when it comes to a wedding. Read on for some essential advice.

Artificial flowers may not be real but they can certainly look and feel real. Foam flowers can be a great option for centerpieces, floral accents and decorations, and they even make good hair accessories.

As more of us are trying to be practical and look for cost-effective ways to have stylish decors without spending much money, artificial floral arrangements can be a great solution.

Using Foam Flowers for Your Wedding

So I talked about foam flowers to my friend and she was convinced they would cut the cost of her floral arrangement drastically but she was worried about not having real flowers. She didn’t need to worry, foam flowers now look and feel like the real deal.

You could have a foam flower wedding cake, use them for your bridesmaids’ hair, your centerpiece, corsage – and you can even have artificial bridal bouquets made of foam.

There may be some difference in using foam flowers over real ones but it won’t be noticed. In fact, guests might be pleasantly surprised if they find foam flower centerpieces or corsages used at your wedding.

Artificial Floral Centerpieces to Adorn Your Dining Tables

You don’t have to spend a lot of money on real flowers just to adorn your dining tables. You can be practical and choose artificial floral centerpieces such as silk or foam flowers.  Foam roses are popular these days and they’ll look amazing on your dining table.

The good thing about using floral foam is that you can select whatever type and color you want made as well. Popular foam flowers to choose from are foam plumeria flowers and foam Hawaiian wedding flowers.

You can get foam flowers wholesale if you want, especially if you need bulk artificial flowers to decorate a larger area and you want to save some money.

Of course, if you really want to save money then you could make them yourself, there are foam flower crafts where you can buy foam flower kits to put together.

Ecologically Friendly Handcrafts

If you are looking for foam flowers for your wedding, we can recommend 79essentials.com – They not only sell exquisite handmade products but provide a green, ecological solution, too. Located in the United States, they offer environmentally friendly handcrafts and accessories from Southeast Asia.

Foam Flowers for Hair are Great When it Comes to Kids

One thing that makes my friend happy when using foam flowers is the thought of having fresh looking flowers on the heads of those little flower girls during the entire wedding ceremony.

Unlike artificial ones, the kids can be kids and not worry about causing damage to a real, fragile flower. In fact, artificial flowers, such as silk or foam are best when it comes to floral uses for hair. They are also lightweight and easy to use as an accessory.

Ideal for Outdoor Weddings

Hawaiian foam flowers are great for hair, especially if you are considering a garden wedding or a beach wedding. I can say from experience, having a wedding outside can be a disaster if you are using real flowers and the weather turns bad.

Foam flowers can indeed make great wedding flowers – big or small, they can accentuate and make your wedding more colorful. Just make sure to get a professional to help you conceal the secret.
