The Cake:
Let them eat … sundaes? It doesn’t have the same ring as let
them eat cake, the famous words spoken by Marie Antoinette.
The current trend for weddings may forgo a wedding cake
for a dessert buffet of candy or ice cream sundaes.
Cupcakes are also an option, as it is known that cupcakes
are a hot item right now due to the growing number of cupcake shops and shows dedicated to the bite-sized cakes such
as Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars” or TLC’s “D.C. Cupcakes.”
Another option is the offering of miniature desserts such as
cheesecakes or small pies, according to Wedding Trends 2012’s
website.
For the couples who opt to stick with tradition, the current
wedding cake trend is a throwback to the wedding cakes of the
seventies and eighties with grandiose height and several tiers.
Favors:
Fall-inspired wedding favors can be a fun way to interject
a fall theme into a wedding. Caramel apples, candied pecans,
individual apple tarts, apple butter, mini maple syrup bottles,
apple cider mix, maple leaf or acorn-shaped chocolates, pumpkin spiced soaps, or candles in autumn colors are suggested
fall favors from The Knot.
Photo booths, although not technically a favor, offer guests a
chance to ham it up in the photo booth and receive one strip
of pictures to keep and one set for the couple.
Couples could have a table with a scrapbook album for
guests to place their photos in and write a special message to
the couple.
Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties
and Honeymoon:
Bachelor and bachelorette parties and honeymoons are
becoming more action-packed, as the couples are moving
towards more extreme and active activities.
Bachelor parties where the guys opt for thrills are driving
race cars, shooting bows and arrows, playing paintball, or skydiving, Wedding Trends 2012 reports.
Bachelorette parties might be a little more subdued (at least
that’s what they might want you to think) with girls opting to
take a class together or even go on a girls-only trip, but you
never know what adventures could happen — remember, what
happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right?
Honeymoons are not all about romance anymore as couples
seek the more thrilling adventures their destination offers such
as zip lining, horseback riding, and nature expeditions.
