Do We Need a Groom's Cake

The first groom's cakes were reserved for guests to take home as a memento of the wedding. For this reason, they were usually made of dark, heavy fruitcake since it is durable and keeps for a long period of time. Contemporary groom's cakes, however, are not bound by old traditions. In more recent times, the groom's cake is a perfect opportunity to express creativity. Today, the cake is meant to be a reflection of the groom’s interests, hobbies, favorite sports, alma mater, profession, or anything else he enjoys.

The cake can be ordered by the bride as a surprise for her groom, by the groom himself, or by the couple, together. If the cake is to be displayed near the wedding cake, its design and presence should not compete with the wedding cake, which should always have top billing in design and placement. 


But brides beware. When giving the groom an opportunity to select the design of the groom's cake, one must be prepared for his "unique sense of humor." The groom's cake should not be your first clue that your chosen one is a closet alcoholic, womanizer or avid hunter. Having a wedding planner or coordinator is great for times like this. As your recent best pal, your coordinator is there to remove the stressors, even if that stressor is your groom's selection of a hideous design for his groom's cake. 


A groom’s cake is not required at a wedding, especially if neither of you are fond of cake to begin with, but it does add a special and memorable touch to your special day.
Now, that's trendy.

Wedding Dress Selections for the Second-Time Bride

When I think of a second time or encore bride, a few words that come to mind to describe this bride would be sophisticated, wise, passionate, no-fluff. When I was a second-time bride, I dreaded the thought of going shopping for the dress. And for a shop happy person such as myself, that was a little hard to handle. I didn't want the classic of lace and ruffles, and to be honest, I didn't know what I wanted. The only thing I was sure of was that I did not want to look like a first-time bride or what I thought the first time bride looked like. i just wanted to feel beautiful in the dress that I chose. I was lucky because the first dress I tried on was a complete winner.

Here are just a few of my favorite bridal selections for the encore bride to choose from. With a selection like this, an encore bride can't go wrong, and she is sure to feel like the beautiful bride-to-be that she is.
