Pink Wedding Cakes
Nov 30, 2009 Cake, The Reception
There are so many aspects and details to consider for your wedding, from the flowers, to the wedding colors, to the food being served - and the cake! A good budget saving tip to have only a small cake created for the presentation/cake cutting and then buying sheet cakes to serve out for the guests. This cuts down on the decoration needed for a larger wedding cake and in the end can save you money to spend elsewhere on the wedding (or to save for the honeymoon).
Here are some inspiration cakes with a pink colored themed for you to browse through and hopefully inspire you for your wedding cake.

Ceremony Traditions: Make Your Own Unity Candle
Nov 23, 2009 Creative Wedding Ideas, The Ceremony
A unity candle is a ceremony that represents the joining of two families. It uses two tapered candles (usually lit by the mother’s of the bride and groom) which are used to light a larger pillar candle (the unity candle) by the bride and groom. The couple can then save and keep the unity candle to relight on their anniversaries.
Here a few ideas on how to create your own unity candle:
- Obtain a plain, white pillar candle to use as your base.
- Decorate the pillar candle with matching organza ribbon in the colors of your wedding.
- Decorate a piece of cardstock paper embossed or stamped with your names and the date of your wedding.
- Use tissue paper to stamp on a symbol, your names, a quote or other details of the wedding or couple. Use an embossing gun to carefully heat the candle and adhere the tissue paper to the base of the candle. See this blog article about embossing candles.
- Create a mosiac pattern on the candle. Make a simple shape such as the outline of 2 hearts together.

Here are a few ideas for creating your own simple and elegant table numbers.
