The History of the WEDDING CAKE
The tall , tiered wedding cake – with or without toppers – is one of the most widespread wedding traditions in the western world . You ’ ve probably tasted a slice or two over the years , but what do you know about the origins of this sweet nuptial custom ?
Historians believe that the concept of wedding cakes can be traced back to ancient Rome . At that time , it was customary to break a wafer or loaf of sweet bread over the bride ’ s head with the goal of invoking happiness and fertility . n medieval Europe , wedding guests typically stacked small pastries as high as possible , and the bride and groom would kiss over the resulting pile of sweetness .

A symbolic gesture
The tradition of the wedding cake being sliced by the bride and groom dates back to the Middle Ages . The gesture symbolized the first action taken by the bride and groom as a legitimate couple . Traditionally , the groom rests his hand on the bride ’ s as a sign of fertility and protection .

Sweet , tall , tiered cakes like those seen today in weddings across North America only became commonplace around the 18th century .
Nowadays , bakeries create wedding cakes that are true works of art . Anything goes when it comes to the shape , flavor and color – and toppers are no longer limited to the tiny bride and groom model .
When it comes to your WEDDING DRESS , white isn ’ t your only option
When it comes to your wedding dress , white isn ’ t your only option
If , at a time in the past , the boldest move you could make when it came to the color of your wedding dress was to pick offwhite instead of a pristine snowy shade , that ’ s simply no longer the case . Like most rules , the one that dictates the color of your wedding dress is meant to be broken – and more and more brides are taking the plunge . Read on for some inspiration .
Did you know that the white wedding dress has only been popular in North America since the 19th century ? Before then , it was customary for the bride to wear – you guessed it – a colorful dress ! Today , the brightly colored dress is making a comeback , and designers from around the world are reinventing this vintage trend .
While shopping for a non-white wedding dress might have been a tricky task a few decades ago , boutiques are now stocked with gowns in every color of the rainbow – and then some . Whether you ’ re in the market for an electric pink ball gown or an emerald green A-line , your local bridal boutique is sure to deliver the goods .
On the fence about your color choice because you fear you ’ ll shock your guests by choosing an unconventional gown ? Remember that this is your day and that you have the final say on what you wear .
That being said , there are ways to compromise : you could incorporate a colored sash or veil in your look or choose an all-white dress with colorful stitching .
So , will you let your true colors shine through with your dream wedding dress ?
The right way to wear a BOUTONNIERE
Many grooms choose to follow the tradition of wearing a small floral accessory called a boutonniere on their wedding day . If you ’ re about to put a ring on your sweetheart ’ s finger , read on to find out how you should wear your boutonniere .
First off , know that this accessory isn ’ t an essential part of the groom ’ s traditional attire and that many prefer to opt for the subtler handkerchief . So don ’ t worry – you ’ re free to wear whatever you think looks best . If you do choose to say yes to this floral adornment , here ’ s how to wear it :
• Attach it to the lapel of your suit or jacket
• Always pin it on your left side , above your heart
• Choose a delicate or magnetized fastener to avoid damaging your jacket
• Make it match your bride ’ s bouquet ( this is not optional !)
• Match it to your wedding ’ s color palette
Who should wear it ?
If the groom decides to wear a boutonniere , all male members of the wedding procession must follow suit . This means that the important men in the groom ’ s entourage – his father , godfather and groomsmen , for instance – should all sport the boutonniere with pride .
