wedding-gift.jpgWedding gift is one of the things that people break their heads upon. Though, if right ideas are chosen and there is help in hand you can give the best possible gift to the bride and groom which would be cherished by them forever. Wedding is the most important day of their lives and you should plan to make it all the more memorable.

 

Planning a wedding can be made easier with the right planning ideas. The same way you can choose the best wedding gift if you can get some excellent wedding gift ideas. You would have to put in a little effort in collecting such ideas from different sources like internet, wedding magazines and journals. You can also take advice from your close friends or family members who know the personal taste of the couple. It would be best if the bride and groom both like your gift rather than accept it as it is.

 

Gift Stylishly & Smartly

 

Gifting is an art in itself. To choose a gift that is stylish, memorable and within your budget is tricky. But, this can be achieved if you act smartly. You might know either the bride or groom or both, otherwise take a little time to know the preferences of the person whom you don’t know so that both the bride and groom are delighted on the most special day of their lives.

 

Pearl or gold wedding gifts would be very classy and would be liked by both bride and groom. It is the type of gift that you give matters, if you want to gift an artifact or a photo frame plated with gold then choose ideas accordingly. There are many websites and magazines which would give you many suggestions on how to gift things that would be used by both the bride and groom. But you will have to choose one gift that would be in sync with the personal preferences of the couple. For example, if you know that the couple loves collecting rare artifacts or statuettes, then look out for shops which sell such exotic stuffs. You can also buy such gifts through internet but you would have to be careful about the authenticity of the website. You may end up receiving a statuette that is damaged in some way or a fake altogether.

 

If both the bride and groom are religious then Christian wedding gifts would be most suitable for them. Holy cross wall hangings, metallic wedding cross, stained cherry cross etc. are perfect religious gifts which would be appreciated by the couple. They would cherish the gifts forever. Such well-thought gifts need the right ideas from the right sources. Just a little time and planning from your side can make the day all the more special for the wedding couple.

If a couple opts for a small wedding, then it is ideal to have small cakes. However, if the wedding is on a large scale, still this sort of cakes could be used as favors. Another option is that these mini cakes can be used as table centerpieces. These would cut down the expenses on flowers which generally form the centerpieces.

 

Instances of Small Wedding Cake Ideas

 

Use of money for design

small-wedding-cake

If you select a small wedding cake, then obviously you can save some money. This money can be used for some design elements like an exquisite cake topper, handcrafted sugar flowers, and fondant draping.

 

Dummy layers

 

Let us assume that your guest list is small, but you intend to have a tall-tiered cake. The solution is to include dummy layers in the design. There are professional decorators who use dense Styrofoam shapes for the lower cake tiers. Then, they decorate them as if they were cake layers. At the top of the cake, there are smaller edible cake layers. Thus, a small cake is transformed to a tall work of art.

 

Mini cakes

 

The selection of cupcake cakes and mini cakes is ideal in this regard. In order to imitate the style of a large wedding cake, these small cakes are individually iced, decorated, and displayed.

 

Single tier

 

This is the most affordable option related to the topic of small cakes. This one tier is 5 inches in height and 6 inches in diameter. There are four thin cake layers within these dimensions and there is filling in between.

 

How to display small wedding cakes?

 

In case of any wedding cake, its display on the table is rather important. This issue gains more importance if the cake is small. The following precepts would prove useful.

 

  • Any photographs or food items should not be placed along with the cake on the table
  • Place a small table and on this keep the cake. This prevents other objects from overshadowing the cake
  • Select a cake fountain or an elegant cake stand or a single tier to elevate the cake
  • Place some sturdy object on a table and drape it with a stylish cloth. This would enhance the appearance of the cake

 

Single Tier Cakes as Small Wedding Cake Ideas

 

Advantages

 

  • If there is a small guest list or some guests do not want a cake, then less amount of cake is wasted
  • Depending on the design and flavors, the price is very less
  • Instead of any lavish extravagance, there is a simple and elegant design

 

Disadvantages

 

  • The bakeries may be manufacturing some minimum sizes which may not be your requirement
  • Regarding the issue of taking photographs, this cake is less readily dramatic and visible
  • There is a general tradition to retain some cake for the first anniversary. However, in case of these cakes, there is no leftover cake
  • It is not possible to use varying flavors for varying tiers unless multiple cakes are ordered
  • As there are very less number of slices, these are adequate for only few number of guests

Christmas weddings should be planned well in advance as it involves the big task to bring out the spirit of Christmas in its true splendor. Especially Christmas wedding cakes are an important part of Christmas weddings. You can plan an exclusive wedding cake for your Christmas wedding to make it memorable and beautiful. So, plan well in advance the recipe, the look, and style of your cake considering factors like décor, theme etc.

 

Ideas to Plan for your Christmas Wedding Cake

  christmas-wedding-cakes

First of all plan the shape of your wedding cake, whether you want it to be a round or square. It can also be a combination of cakes of different shapes. This depends on your style and preference. It is generally considered that square wedding cakes are more apt for Christmas weddings. White fondant cakes are mostly preferred as Christmas is mostly related to white color in the form of snow and also indicates purity. You can also go for other colors but it would be preferable not to overdo it and stick to basic colors or colors related to Christmas like red or green.

Colors for your cake should also match your décor and the cake should not stand out like an odd-man-out. For example, if your color theme is a combination of white and red stick to these two colors in your cake as well. Plan the colors in advance so that the suitable decoration ideas can also be planned. If you are planning to use the colors red and white, you can very well plan for a three-tier white fondant wedding cake. You can decorate your cake with real red Christmas flowers and red decoration balls. You can also add some greenery by including pine cones or leaves with these flowers. This would make for a stunning Christmas wedding cake that would make your guests go gaga.

It would be for the better if you can plan for the recipe, ingredients, and filing, etc., well in advance. This would avoid confusions in the future.

 

Simple decoration ideas must be planned out well before in order to avoid confusions before your wedding if in case any of the decoration thing becomes unavailable at the last moment. You should have them all ready in order to make your Christmas wedding the most beautiful wedding your guests have attended ever.
