Q
How can I save money on a
wedding cake and still have an elegant wedding?
A
Both saving money and
creating an elegant mood are the result of focus,
prioritizing and careful decisions. If you
concentrate on the details and elements you value
MOST, you can often "cut corners" in other areas to
save money, and eliminate "extra" decorations and
items which will keep the look elegant and
streamlined. The more focused you are on your
priorities, the easier it will be to eliminate costly
and/or distracting peripheral details.

Specifically for wedding cake savings, one of the
easiest ways to save money, according to a colleague
who designs wedding cakes, is to make the "display"
cake relatively small, then supplement the servings
with less decorated "cutting" cakes in the same
flavors and layering design. Other ways to save
include choosing buttercream or other fluffy frostings
instead of rolled fondants and other more costly
coverings, and by choosing silk or organic fresh
flowers rather than hand-made gum-paste or other sugar
flowers.
Best wishes to you.
